Flea Market Finds

Playing along with Her Library Adventures meme this week. Head there to see other fthrifted finds. I picked up a set of 3 melamine cups and saucers for $5. They will be perfect for picnics. There is something special about those deco-esque handles... they remind me of Dame Edna.They have found their way onto these almost overcrowded blue-green-duck-egg themed kitchen shelves. This little corner in my kitchen makes me pretty happy.

And for $1 each, this set of glass bowls. To be honest... we have so many bowls already. Aside from their colour and form I don't really know why I bought them. oops..

but they sure are pretty!

  4. The tea cups are adorable and look perfect there - it doesn't look overcrowded - there are still gaps to fill if you van see daylight is my motto!
    The bowls are so cheerful even stodgy porrige ( which I don't love but eat 'cos it is good for me) will taste good out of those!

  5. Love the colours - how can you not be cheery when you enter your kitchen and see these pretties. Great finds. Don't seem to get these kind of colours at our Oppies down here Not sure why. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. Thanks for sharing.

  16. The shelf really is amazing! My kitchen would love a corner like this, but I have three very inquisitive kitties who wouldn't let it look pretty for long...xx

  17. Hi Tracey! Thought I'd pop over and check out your blog - always lovely to meet fellow thrift addicts :-)
    I must say I'm really very jealous of these melamine cups and saucers - but most of all I LOVE the kitchen shelves you've put them on. They are fantastic.... I've always wanted nice 50's shelves with corners - very special.
