flea market finds: accessories for the home

taa-daaah! here are my amazing finds from last saturday :)

i have been wanting a nativity scene for Christmas but i could never find one that i like so when i found the one above with vibrant colors for .20p each, who am i to argue?

i have quite a collection of turquoise, teal, aquamarine-colored vases at home so those are really what i have my eyes on when i go to the flea. bought for .50p each, i have two more to add to my ever-growing menagerie :)  

i love wooden animals and this graceful gazelle was only .50p!  now, he sits with my books :)

i also love and collect wooden toys so i also bought this brain teaser puzzles :)  they have so much character than the plastic ones IMO :)

these beautiful terracotta butterflies are from France and for .20 each box, i took all three :)  they would be perfect for my arts and crafts!

another christmas find is this set of mandarin clove and cinnamon room scenters' tealights from M&S.  at the back, it says it can last up to 4 hours! not bad for .20p :)  i can just imagine how amazing the house would smell come christmas!

i have a soft spot for classic books that i've read when i was growing up so i rummaged through 3 boxes of books before i saw these three :)  i haven't read George Orwell's 1984 but i have read the other two.


honestly though, i haven't done much reading lately.  i am hoping i will be able to finish Jack Kerouac's On The Road soon so i can start another one :)
