Flea Market Stash

Raleigh Flea Market Finds
My wonderful husband toted me up to Raleigh this morning for the flea market.  Many of you will understand my desire to find that one piece of treasure that I can work into either a piece of jewelry or a piece of mixed media art.  I also have an old hobby of the printed word in many forms.
Today's treasures come in the form of some J.R.R. Tolkien paperbacks, a small piece of lace, three pairs of earrings (clip-on), and a rather heavy handmade shelf.  I have my work cut out for me over the next week or so.  If you are interested in what happens next you can follow me on a couple of pages.
I will list the Tolkien books on my Etsy page for Seaturtlebooks.
I will change the clip-on earrings over to post and wire.  Two of the pairs will be listed on my Etsy page for VindemiaConventu.
The shelf is wooden, handmade and in rough shape.  It will need some tender loving work from me.  May take a couple of weeks, possibly up to a month, but I will have it in working order before I go to the flea in Raleigh again.  I plan to keep this one and use it myself.  :) 
Feel free to follow me forward on my facebook pages respectfully: Seaturtlebooks, and VindemiaConventu.
I hope your day went as well as mine did.

Regards,
Kat
