Here is a gorgeous old platter, Blessed Mother statue and blue floral rimmed pitcher.
I love the monogram on this vintage tablecloth, as well as the crochet-edged sheet:
This sweet little birdcage was only 50 cents:
It came with this bright floral piece attached, which I promptly removed:
The floral piece got a coat of warm white paint:
My favorite find that day was this vintage doll. I didn't love her yellow dress, though...
...so I decided to dye it grey!
I'll be sure to share this pretty grey lady at Michelle's Grey Dey Thursdey:
Now I do believe her attire goes much better with her eyes. :)
She's attached to a curious bottom:
It's from 1960 - of course, you can tell that from the retro fabric on the bottom, huh?
I may transform her into a Santos cage doll (like this project), but we'll have to see...
Here are some recent finds from my local thrift store, too. A paper mache reindeer (I'm not crazy about the garland strung across him, so I'll find a separate use for that later):
Lastly, a metal hardware piece that looked like it came from a sconce or some lighting fixture(?) I love its' curves:
Thanks for letting me share these finds with you. It's like I'm bringing you all along for the thrill of the hunt!

Going to that last flea market of the season is always a sad day for us all, Susan. But what beautiful treasures you brought home! Now we can all start saving our money for the spring markets! :)

You have such a great eye for finding treasures, Susan! It would be fun to thrift with you:) Love everything, that crocheted edge sheet is amazing!
Great finds and great eye! I love that birdcage and the dolls dress was spot on! Di@Cottage-Wishes
Such "sweet" finds! It is so much fun to see other's treasures from their hunting!!

I love your finds--so fun to see what other people find. I love that platter!
Love the doll, Susan! The dress turned out great in grey.
It's always sad when flea markets close for the season. Opening day never seems to come fast enough.
You did have some wonderful finds though. I love the blue and white dish. Also love the linen and the crocheted edged sheets, two items that I have been crazy about lately myself.
Great 'Scores'... we have the opposite problem here in the Arizona Desert with Flea Market closures... our Spring and Summer is just too Hot... so this is the time of year that they're having them in full force... I Hope to be as fortunate as you with my 'Pickins'!

These are the most amazing finds! Wow! You have such a good eye for treasures. Love that blue and white china and the pretty little doll. Well, honestly-- I love it all!~
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for visiting me today :) You found some great things! And I love that you painted the floral piece white :) The doll is soo pretty and her dress is much more perfect in grey :) I hate how fast summer goes by :( It is my favorite time of year.
Big hugs,
Amy
Beautiful finds! Love that you gave that sweet doll a grey dress. It suits her much better! Wishing you a sweet day, hugs
I like everything you found. The little blue & white pitcher would fit right in with my transferware I had never seen a doll base like that and I'm from the 1960's
That sheet is wonderful also
thanks for visiting my blog
You seem to find the best things Susan and I wish I could tag along on one of your shopping trips. I am crushin' on the platter you found!
sending hugs...
You really scored some great ones Susan. Have a wonderful weekend!
