Thrift Haul: Hot Flea Market Finds on a Cold Fall Day

I've been following my new self-imposed thrifting rules; bringing home less but only the best. With astonishing willpower I stopped myself from buying two beguiling bags of dinosaur and Pokémon toys! That alone proves my commitment! Here are the flea market goodies that made the cut:

Behold this fun novelty tray, It's funny because it's true! And charming because the drawing style reminds me of everyone's favorite classic cartoons. Not selling this one!

Something like this had been on my want-list for a while now, believe it or not. I talked to seller down to fifty cents. It's another keeper!

These, however, will be sold. It feels like I have more books than I can feasibly read in a year!

I love this trio, especially the wood grain pattern on the green McCoy pottery planter! I'm keeping the pitcher to serve tea when friends visit and the owl will be filled with fragrant Rosemary and placed in my antique store booth soon.

This one is already hung in my home and may be hung in our future shop, too. I agree with every word on making a space cozy. This novelty plate would be nice hanging in a den or guest bedroom and I love the illustration of the steaming cigarette and coffee mug.

I'm a sucker for sewing books. I'll need the inspiration to bust out my sewing machine for Christmas crafting this month!

Perhaps the cutest thing I found all weekend, I can't wait to use this vintage alphabet cookie mold. It weighs a ton, too. I could easily kill a bee-otch with this thing! It's the deadliest weapon in my house.

This lovely vintage cardboard dresser was a trade with my fellow antique reseller/business partner Nicole. It'll stash my fabric and craft supplies and already fits into my craft space beautifully. 

'Twas nice to bring home a smaller haul of quality goodies this time around. I'll keep resisting toys and other fun yet "unnecessary" bits for as long as I can, but who knows how long I'll hold out?

What did you find this weekend?
