Thrift Find: Treasure Chest

I found this cute little treasure chest (a.k.a. a tin box) at the flea market a couple months ago and am still infatuated with it. I love the colors. I think it's supposed to be a Christmas tin, but really I think I'll keep it out all year. Right now it's holding various ribbons and buttons.
I just thought of this as I was writing this post, but if any of you have a Flickr account, add me as a contact if you want and I'll add you! Check out my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oohvintage/ and add me!

Flea Market Finds

Since I haven't had much to say for the past few days, I thought I'd give you some eye candy and show you some of the crafty supplies I picked up at the flea market this past weekend. I'm loving all of the bright colors...

From Window to Masterpiece

I began with an old window I found at the flea market for $5:Did a little painting....

And ended up with a masterpiece!I have one window left. I think I'll probably do something a little more abstract...I'm not too crazy about the whole sun/ocean thing I did with this one. I guess it's a good thing I got two!

I've Got the Blues

Thrift shopping today at the monthly flea market...

Oh flea market, how I love you... Stay tuned for shop updates...

Spring and by Summer Fall

Gorgeous, no?

I took this picture a few months ago--it was spring and they had just bloomed.

But now they are no where to be seen.

Tomorrow I'm taking a trip to the Nashville flea market. LOVE! I'll take some pics and show you what I scored when I get back. I also might stop by the Antique Mall. I've never been, but it's right near the flea market and I've read it's pretty neat. Might as well save on gas and do them both in one trip.

::Sneak Peak::

Sneak peak at what's coming your way in the shop. I love this brooch. And I really love it against the coral colored scarf. It's funny; when I picked it up at the flea market, the seller says, "That's an old one. A reeaally old one." I'm kicking myself now for not asking her guess of the decade it came from. Any thoughts? Dinosaur age? I think I'll go with that...

Stay tuned for this lovely brooch as well as several new things in the shop!
