Flea markets!

Today I'm taking a little break from the weekly "Meet the Maker" posts. Don't worry, they'll be back next week.

In the mean time there are a few photos I've been meaning to share with you from a recent trip to the local flea market and antique mall.

Giant Fabric Center Sign over the booth

This was my favorite booth or cube in the antique's mall. HB and I probably spent about an hour and a half total walking around that day. A good 45 minutes of that time was probably spent in this booth.

Vintage Singer Sewing Machine

This beautiful lady drew us in. It was an old singer sewing machine. I know, you've probably seen a million. And no, it wasn't even on one of those beautiful iron bases. It was an industrial model by the look of the base and motor. Very cool.

Did you know HB recently bought a Singer recently? It needs a bit of refinishing, so I've got a project on my hands. :D

Accountant's Register

Awesome Coffee Table (apologies for the butt,  I was afraid to move the statue)

Remington Typewriter

If I remember correctly there was a bit of a twitter frenzy as I got to this part of the booth where I found a vintage typewriter and sent a picture to Aubrey to drool over. I also found...

Dress Form!

A fantastic dress form. I know, a typewriter and a dress form in the same booth it could only be better if it also had a library card catalogue.

You knew that was coming, right?

Did I mention HB and I also got a table, chairs, and a few wooden library card catalogues? Yep, this is a summer of PROJECTS.

Are you as excited as me?

Oh, and one last thing, the most eccentric find of the day goes to...

The Camel Bar Stool!

 Who wouldn't want a wooden camel to sit on at their bar? And look, even it's toes are carved in! There were two of these beauties - definitely made me smile.

We hit the register...

Ok maybe not that register...but we did buy something. I managed to make it out of the antiques mall with only this: 

Just a little silver plated basket. It's sitting prettily on my desk corralling a few balls of yarn for current projects.

Speaking of...something new is due in the shop soon.
