flea market finds: brown and brass

where to begin? i have not been writing here for 5 months! i don't have any excuses really. its just that the mood just wasn't there :P

well, i have been religious though in one thing hehe which is going to my weekly haunts. Gib is a small place and the negative stigma of going to a flea market or a charity shop is still very much alive! but i really don't give a rat's ass! ha!

anyway, i am envigorated! and i want to share with you my fabulous finds which by the way will either be given to the precious friends i have found here in Gib who shares my love for design and creativity OR be sold back to the charity shop when i tire of them or when i really couldn't incorporate them in the overall scheme of things how ever hard i try.

the first one i have is a beautiful, beautiful antique coal scuttle which a kindly old lady sold to me for a ridiculous price! this would be lovely as a planter (think a riot of daffodils!) or a container for books. my mind is racing because i did an online search and one actually costs between £190 - £300!

the next one is an ikea chocolate brown vase which goes well with anything!
I am soooo deliriously happy with these finds and i couldn't wait for next week for more fabulous finds! i promise to write more often ;)
