Then yesterday we went to a flea market about an hour from my moms house. I spent about 40 dollars and got some really cute things.
First, I got this slate sign that says, "Together is where our story begins." So cute, right? I've only been moved out for less than a year, so I'm trying really hard to build a strong collection of decorations. I couldn't refuse this awesome piece.
The next thing that I got was an adorable chalk board for the kitchen. They had so many cute ones that needed to stand up, and unfortunately I have the smallest kitchen in the world (you'll hear me complain about this on several occasions) and have literally no room to put anything else. So I had to buy one that I could hang on the wall. And again, they had a gorgeous one I really wanted, but it was $50.00 and I wasn't willing to go that expensive. So I got this really cute one that was originally priced at $17.95 but I paid $16.00 including tax. It says, "Home of the Brave" on it, but I think I may paint over it. Not that I'm not patriotic, but I'm planning on writing dinner stuff on it, so I may paint something related on it. This was made out of an old cabinet door. Nifty, no?
I also got this awesome recipe box. I have been struggling to figure out a way to keep my recipes organized, and I saw this and knew I had to have it. I didn't buy it at first, but went back and got it at the end of they day because I couldn't get my mind off of it. I only paid ten dollars and they were asking $13.00.
All in all, I'm going to say I had a very productive weekend for my little family! How was yours?
I love flea markets! You can find so many great things there! I have this awesome embroidered black denim jacket from a big flea market! And I have a copy of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights from the 1940s that I got for a $1 each!
