BURLEY PARK

Short post with awesome Ipod touch pictures! Yes!
So it has been a really fast year since my last Burley Park experience.
I will totally have to go again this year.
Burley Park, is this awesome flea market about 30 miles north of the city.
My pops just happens to live in the same town.
The market is such a fun place to go, even if you aren't in the mood to buy.
There are always tons of people to watch, and so many people bring their dogs around.
There is even people selling all sorts of animals. I have seen bunnies, dogs, cats, pigs and goats.
This year I set out with a goal for two items in particular; a Herman Miller chair and a Pendleton blanket.
I made out with both.  

                                                                              Got this random white shell chair
                                                                                                 for only two bucks!



I have some more real photos to post later of my awesome finds.
Can't wait to go again on the 4th of July.
 Such good finds and such interesting people...not to mention the kick ass deep fried food.

chairs.

So I am pretty obsessed with chairs.
If I see an attractive chair in a thrift store, garage sale, or on the side of the road, I have to have it.
So far you have seen my kitchen and my living room...there is a bedroom too that I am not quite ready to show.
But my house doesn't have that much space!
and I have about 7 fairly large chairs. Not to mention all my other HUGE furniture.


Anyways look at this Milo Baughman chair I found.
At least I am pretty sure thats what it is!
If anyone knows ways to identify them, let me know!

Flea.







Yes!
It is summer time
& that means time for flea markets
& garage sales!

Luckily we both had Memorial day off and got to take a trip to Howard city.
This flea market is huge. There always have vendors with puppies and kittens.
Corn dogs & elephant ears.
It is always a sight to be seen!

I went home with a few new pieces of fiesta ware and I found a Marushka at a garage sale to add to my etsy site later!

Finds!


Yeah, I know its Saturday!
"Friday Finds" sounds WAY better. Plus I did all my finding yesterday.
I managed to make it out to some thrift stores and garage sales (and get breakfast) before I went to work.
I found a bunch of scarves!
A beautiful dress that fits me great, except in the bust!
I will have to alter it, and I have no real sewing skills. So we will see how that goes.
I will definitely let you know how it goes!
I am looking forward to a whole summer of great finds!
