$30.00 At The Flea Market

I'm always amazed at how much cool stuff I can find at a Flea Market for a small amount of money.  I spent $30.00 today at the Flea Market in Wilmot Wisconsin and this is what I got for my money:

A  nice variety of beads!

Some jewelry pieces that I can take apart for the beads.

More pieces that I can take apart for the beads and I thought I could use that little Partridge In A Pear Tree brooch on a Christmas door hanger!

Finally, a little vintage kitty for my collection.  I don't buy too much in the way of collectibles anymore.  I have plenty of pretty little collectible things but I do have an affinity for sweet little vintage cat figurines.  They have to have pretty little faces.  One of these days, I'll take you on a tour of my little cat collection.  I just find them at flea markets and antique shops.  I guess there's nothing wrong with being a crazy cat lady!

Anyway, that's my Flea Market treasure for today!

Fabulous Flea Market Find

Last weekend, my in laws were here so we went up to the Flea Market in Wilmot Wisconsin.  It's just a hop, skip and a jump from where we live.  And a beautiful drive too!

Anyway, I found this gorgeous, beaded aqua Christmas sweater:

This sweater is loaded with beads and sequins. Look closely at the picture.  Those are little Christmas trees!  Here's a photo of the other side:

You're probably all thinking, what in the world is she going to do with that?!!  Well, I'm not wearing it! I love my glittery purses but I draw the line with those!  I plan to cut it up.  Or did you already guess that?

The first thing I did with it was to take the zipper out and then I clipped the lining out of it:

The lining too is a gorgeous shade of aqua so I plan to use that too!  And guess how much I paid for this!  $5.00!  That's it!  Just $5.00 for all those little Christmas trees!

I filled my kitchen sink with cold water and washed both pieces by hand.  I laid them out on a towel to air dry so now they're ready for.....well, whatever it is I come up with!  LOL!!!  Be sure to follow me.  You never know what I'll be doing next!
