Thrift Haul: Vintage Flea Market Super Bargains and Eclectic Vintage Art Galore

I almost skipped my weekly hunt, but was lured to the flea market by a need for sunshine, fresh vintage, and fruit from the many produce vendors. Glad I ventured out, I scored a tidy haul of beautiful vintage for a song:

This huge, beautiful kitten hook rug piece is mounted to a piece of wood. The kitties will be joining a similar groovy owl piece I have hanging in my Southern Crossing booth. -----> On Etsy

I try to avoid wall hangings but I've had luck in the past with faux bamboo scroll pieces in the past. These will be headed to Southern Crossing soon, but if you'd like any of them I'm selling them for $7.00 each.

They depict three different species of birds and have gorgeous texture, lovely pieces.

I also happily found these two bits of slightly creepy 1960s big eye art at the bottom of a box covered in a layer of dust. I'm selling them for $9.00 each or $15.00 for the pair if anyone's interested.

And more in the way of art! Hard to see in the photo but there's some nice texture on this large vintage prints. It's heading to Southern Crossing and Etsy soon, I'm selling it for the low price of $10.00 if anyone's interested!

And I still have three beautiful brown satchels left. They're like three shades of chocolate, raspberry, light and medium. I dunno, something about buttery brown bags, I love to collect and sell them. Gotta catch 'em all. Selling Raspberry for $18, Light Brown for $12 and the largest bag for $12, it would make a soft and cozy travel bag. ((Check out the Cherry Purse on Etsy))

These two make a lovely pair. I love clear tea glasses and couldn't resist this sweetly flowered pair. Fun how the plaque pretends to match, selling the plaque for $9.00 if anyone's interested, it's heading to Southern Crossing soon.-----> On Etsy

This gorgeous vintage lamp will illuminate my antique mall space nicely, I love how it's white rather than yellow light. Much easier on the eyes and nice illumination at night. Selling it for $9 via the blog if anyone's interested! -----> On Etsy

I found these exact decanters at the same flea market before, they sold well in Southern Crossing. This time I'll also have them on Etsy. Selling them for $12 each if you're interested! They're beautiful pieces. -----> On Etsy

And I nearly forgot this cute little trivet. I try to avoid smalls but this one came home with me anyway. Selling it for $4.00 if anyone would like 'er!

And a final odd piece I couldn't put down, this lightweight shield with details in gold. It reminds me of a couple of old friend who'd have killed for it! The background is velvet, the gold detail is plastic and it's very lightweight. Selling it for $7.00 if anyone's interested, It would make a very unique gift!

One of my favorite scores of the day was this Better Homes and Gardens Handyman's Handbook. I now have three editions of that same Garden Book and four different types of these Better Homes and Gardens vintage binder books in total. I LOVE the very mod late 50s illustrations inside, so hilarious. Check out the insides on Etsy! Mr. Handyman doesn't stop smoking for anything! That pipe stays in his mouth at all times!
