Here are my finds for the day...
A bunch of old tags for $2 (they are even more than this but they were all duplicates so I didn't photo them)
These are old post cards, a wooden nickle and train tickets
This is one thing I had to have. This reminded me of Tim Holtz and his creative stuff he uses. I see I took the picture up side down but you get the idea. I talked the seller down to $3. It's about 6 inches tall. Great for an altered project or a mini album. I can't wait to use it.
I found all these pearls for $3. Score! I had planned on picking up a bag at the craft store this week for my handmade flower centers. Certainly can't pick that many up and a container for $3.
This is a huge pile of stuff. The lady had all these grab bags for .25 each. Well I bought 1, she said take another. Ok, I did. They as I'm leaving she hands me a plastic bags and tells me to fill it up for a $1.00. So all this cost $1.50. Actually, there's a lot more you can't see in the photo because I'm gonna junk that stuff. This is the pile I'm keeping.
here are a couple close-ups:
These are wooden. Not sure what they are since there is only 1 hole. Do they make 1 hole buttons? I got a baggie full of these.
lots of old stuff in here.
little baby clothes pins
That's it for my finds. At this rate I could keep shopping and open my own Etsy store. It's so fun to see all the stuff and dig through each vendors junk...or treasures! Just tons of stuff, I easily could have bought more. Maybe something to think about in the future.
Thanks for stopping by!

Mel! Total score - what a great stash of loot! I think an etsy store is a good idea. I have never done flea markets - I wonder if we have good stuff like this in Fla. Can't wait to see what you do. I love the packaging on the rick rack - double bonus buy!
