It is almost the holiday. Woooo Hooo and the 4th will be here on Friday.
I wanted to show you a few of the treasures I got at the flea market this past week end.
|
My first and favorite little find was these cute white boots. They were too adorable to pass up. So I brought them home and put a little glass vase in each one and filled them with some flowers from the garden. |
|
Did you ever find something so cute like this that just makes you smile when you look at them. :) |
We traveled over the border to Wisconsin and to Elkhorn's fabulous flea Market on Sunday. I just love this flea market you can find the best treasures at this one.
Here are a few things I brought home.
|
As some of you may know I am a nurse and for the past few years I have been subbing in the school's nurse's offices in our school district. So when Terry spotted this sign at the flea market I thought I had to get that chippy love to hang on my old vintage door divider to my home office. |
|
The nurse's office sign is hung on the transom of the old vintage doors. The lady we bought this from said it was actually a sign that was above an elementary school nurse's office. Gotta love that it is chippy and full of history and perfect for me since I am working part time as a school nurse. |
|
I also found this sweet little drawer. It was all by itself no dresser to live in anymore. So I adopted it and brought it home and now I house some of my magazines in it. |
|
I am in the process of changing up some things in my living room and this wonderful chippy half door is going to be part of the re do in there. I got this lovely piece from Jeanine at her Shabby Chippy booth on Sunday. Jeanine is my chippy shabby soul sister. She and I laugh because when I buy pieces from her she says "yep I had that in my house and now am sad to part with it". "It was one of my favorites". Now it is one of my favorites in my home. Thank you Jeanine for parting ways with your chippy loves for me to adopt into my home. |
|
This lovely old library table is going into my new living room after she gets a little make over. This is from the Milwaukee Public Library. Love the history to this piece. |
|
It is hard to see but it is stamped with the manufacture and numbered from the library.
So these a just a few of the new treasures I brought home from the flea market last Sunday.
Hoping to have my living room reveal to you soon. Be sure to come back on Saturday. Susan and I have a couple of great bloggers for you to meet and get to know on a more personal level.
Enjoy and have a safe 4th of July. Kris :) |

You found some great things, Kris! I love the table and the Nurse's Office sign. There is a new flea market that opened by me. It took over where my local antique and flea mart used to be. I've got to make some time to go in and look around. It would be wonderful if they had lots of treasures.
ReplyDeleteWow! How do you ever? I love Shabby Chippy. I wish I lived closer to you guys. Just too few of those around here!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your finds, Kris. I have been looking for a pair of little boots. Those are adorable. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteThe library table is really unique. Can't wait to see its makeover. The sign is fun too!
ReplyDeleteSo may things to comment on!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love your little boots. I had a pair like these when I was a little girl, only red.
Second, I think it was serendipitous that you found your Nurse's Office sign.
The library table is awesome. I like the history that comes with it too.
I look forward to seeing the finished results!
That sign is perfect for you Kris - love where you put it! You find the best stuff! That library table is killer too. I can see what Terry has been and will be working on this holiday weekend. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow - you hit the jackpot with all of your treasures!! Love the Nurse sign - so perfect for where you put it. The library table is so unusual - am anxious to see what you do with it. It'll be a keepsake for sure. How's Terry doing? Good I hope.

ReplyDeleteI love all of your latest finds! That nurse sign couldn't be more perfect for you! Love the little white boots with flowers and flags in them. That was a great way to use them.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful finds, but the nurse sign is really special!
ReplyDeleteThe little shoes are so cute! I wonder what type of boots they are...they look like little majorette boots.
ReplyDeleteLove the nurse sign too. Very special for you!
I think I'm in agreement with everyone else, the sign is perfect! And the library table is the perfect example of what I love to find, something with a story!

ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that you have time to go shopping at the flea markets, decorate and still work part time as a school nurse!! Do you have a secret! Love the little white boots with the flowers and flags. Great idea and the drawer for the magazines. Could be used for material or other storage too. You sure have a creative mind.

ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteI missed this post yesterday, CRAP! I am pulled in too many directions this week and guess what today is 97 in the shade with a heat index of 110. Sizzling Philly, I had planned to go with John to the Betsy Ross house and take a few snaps to include on my post... Simply no way today!
OMG I adore those boots and leave it to you to put in an adorable flower display and a few miniature flags. I say A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!

ReplyDeleteYou got some wonderful things. That nurse sign is fabulous! And so fitting for you. I've been using drawers to hold things too. You found a great one! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteWhen do you have time to look at your great magazine collection? You are such a busy lady. Of course the Nurse sign was made for you. Glad you found it. There is some artwork on the wall behind the new drawer, one day could you show us a full picture of that. Looks like something I might like to make for myself.
