flea market finds: day of the turquoise
finally, here are my finds on that lovely hot day! i have noticed that i am leaning more towards turquoise, dont you think?following the 70-30-10 rule, this turquoise bottle will eventually grace my bookshelf someday. the candle gives off a lovely sweet pea and honeysuckle scent and to think i only got it for only .50p! the pink and grey baubles could potentially be gifts for little girls (bought two for .50p)since i am growing a vegetable and herb garden, i am needing more pots than i can imagine. i spotted this beautiful clay pot under a pile of clothing. it is glazed in a lovely turquoise color and i just fell in love with it! its a bit heavy and too bad the lady selling it only had 1 :( bought it for only a pound.i bought this from a classy guy selling designer stuff. he had a bunch of canvas prints of paintings that he explained was from a museum in Italy. he prolly doesnt have room for it anymore so hes trying to sell them for a pound each. i really dont know why i bought this but i thought they would make a lovely photo mount someday.ahhh my pyrex ramekins. perfect for flan! too bad there were only two. (bought for .50p each)and finally my favorite Presto Polaroid camera which i dont know will work or not. of course i didnt know the films are not available anymore and that you can only buy them from either ebay or this independent store in the Netherlands (The Impossible Project). nevertheless, i love it to bits and cant wait to try it out :D am asking my sister for the films as a birthday gift :D marked £3 but i managed to buy it for £2 ;) score!
