FLEA MARKET Friday & PINK SATURDAY

Today was a beautiful day to spend at the
Fredericksburg Flea Market and that's just
what Terry and I did.

One of the things on her list was a
roadrunner for the yard.
Well when we spotted this one,
she knew it was perfect. Meep-Meep!

Not quite as cute but for my yard,
I loaded this rusty stove in my cart...$5
Will show you how it looks as
soon as I 'plant' it in the garden.
Here is what the last load looked like. An old quilt for some projects. I plan on turning this lamp into a bird feeder. A tea pot for a planter and a few more odds and ends for projects that might show up on Met Monday in the future.

I just loved this purple chair and flowers.

After five hours of shopping we were famished. But not to worry, Terry had packed a delicious lunch and I'm not talking sack lunch either. She thought of everything. Napkin lined baskets held a scrumptious spinach salad with bacon and egg crumbles and homemade dressing. A slice of sourdough bread and plump blackberries for dessert. We even had cloth napkins.
Over the top Terry!!!

Now the PINKS from the day.
To help celebrate



More and more PINK baby doll body parts
are showing up everywhere I go.
I bought this puffy quilted bow with
PINK poke-a-dots.
And at the same booth I also picked up
four sweet stuffed hearts.
This one had PINK and blue lions.
And of course I had to have this precious little
PINK TY mouse with his big blue bow tie.

Now that was the PINK part of our day.

And for more pink just pop over to Beverly's
How Sweet The Sound.

2nd Time Around Market


The Flea Market was full of 2nd Time Around stuff
and there was at least Three or More of everything!

WELCOME!
to the
Wimberley Market Report


Starting with what I brought home...

for the birds,
a sweet pink rose feeder,

this charming vintage butter dish,

and I couldn't resist this cute little shelf
which will be perfect to showcase several
miniature beauties.

Yes, I have a shelf thing going on~
my photography doesn't do them justice
(the one above is only 9" wide while the
bigger HEAVY one below is 30")


Now I will report on just a few of the hundreds
of things available...more than the eye can take in
or the brain can contain.

This tea cup fountain would be
the perfect centerpiece for a bubbly tea party!


Vintage baby items, all with a story to tell if they could.


Artwork galore~



How about a little black and white and pink?
Two pretty sinks...
and two portly pigs!


Some rather large yard art in
bright Spring colors,
just in time for Easter.


O.K. I did drool over this gazebo.
Would be perfect in my yard...
(picture to show my handyman at home)


Another picture to remind me what to do
with all the raw resources around my property!
~A Texas Hanging Garden~


And Dixie, the scarf lady from French Lique
arrived wearing this soft blue blouse and
vintage charmed necklace...but no scarf.

We were in for a warm sunny Texas day,
so she had left off any unnecessary accents.

But not for long because as we wandered
down the first lane she came upon a table
loaded with scarves...
long, broad strips of silk of every
shape and design.
This one was a perfect companion
for her attire.


One booth had a sign for every person
and every occasion.
I am still trying to figure out where I fit in with
the ladies I shared a fun Saturday in the
hill country...
If there were six of us, does that still make me
THE ONE?

That's O.K. it's more fun that way...
