C'mon ya scalliwags, sneak a peek into my treasure chest!
Regular readers of my blog know that I just opened my first
antique mall booth two weeks ago, and I'm proud to say
that the bulk of what I'm selling was scored from.....where else? Flea Markets!

So without further ado, in no particular order,
feast your eyes upon my most prized flea market acquisitions!

So yeah, this is half a door. Big and chunky and altogether awesome.
Not a bit clean yet, but give a girl time, I'll get to it! Picked this up at
Trade Days in Fredericksburg this past weekend for $20.
My husband wasn't with me at the time, my junkin' accomplice Effie was.
When my husband started to unload my SUV, he asked what I wanted him to do with the mantle.
I gently corrected him that it wasn't a mantle, it was half a door.
Jigga, whaa?
You shoulda seen the look on his face! "Which half?" he queried.
I have big plans for this piece, gonna add a window up top,
it's gonna rock hard by the time
I get through with it.
Also found on the same expedition....
Headed to my booth as we speak.
This beauty will replace the sweet chippy white chair I sold last week.
Old cabinet doors soon to be repurposed
as canvases for mixed media art.

I'm big-time in love with the faded rose shade of the one on the left.
And for those just visiting Fiona and Twig for the first time via Flea Market Style,
here are some random shots of my two-week old antique mall booth,
chock full 'o flea markety goodness. My baby!

Hey Anne, you found some great things at the flea. I hope to come and see your things soon, T

Girl, you are too funny! I can just picture you saying all that with a big black patch over one eye! I guess since your finds are so great we won't make you walk the plank! Ha Ha!
Oh, and btw, congrats on your big news about Warrenton....I am so excited that I will get to meet you there!
Sweet, sweet finds ... I'm crushing on that white chippy chair!

First, congratulations on your new endeavor at the antique mall. You should do very well based on the pictures I just saw on your post.
I love the 1/2 door and look forward to seeing what you do with it...guess I'd better be a follower!
I love all your finds! I also love your new header look!
SMiles!

Your booth looks great! Everything goes together so well and looks so good. My husband would freak if I brought home half a door. I was really tempted by a whole door last August, but I'd rather stay married. ;)
Amazing finds ! The half door is terrific, cant wait to see what you do with it!
Lisa
Lots of potential with that cool door aha!! The shop is lookin mighty fine girlie...very nice indeed!!!

I love that half-door idea. My first thought was to turn it into a what-knot shelf for my foyer. It would look soooooo darling. Wish I had the means to haggle for the real deal. I'm so happy for you and your find. I do hope we get to see how you finish it. I'm enjoying your blog. ~ Yaya

I can't wait to see the half door finished.....you have great stuff..i would head right over to your booth!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me! Love the door, can't wait to see what you do with it!
Cheers!

Hi Anne
What fabulous finds! Love them all.
Thanks for stopping by to visit and your nice comment ~ re the shopping cart liner, I made it :-)
I am thrilled to see my book in such a place honor! I just addressed your envelope with a plate so you can put it in The Find. I would love to see your booth in person. It is truly fantastic, and you have such a creative eye. And the half-door.....so lovely. And the little ledge makes me imagine that it was once a place to cool pies or lean on during a friendly chat. So beautiful. Would love to see what you do with it. Stan
You go girl! I *love* your enthusiasm...your booth is coming along quite nicely...and I did read the *1st* version of your good, bad and ugly post and I had to laugh...I had that same *issue* last fall and it drove me crazy! I so get you! But you were probably wise to remove it :)
Have a great day!

Thanks for the kind comment you left for me...
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
I laughed out loud at hubbies "which half" question and LOVE the corner plant stand thingy. Just saw one at the antique store the other day and commented to my hubby that I would like to have one.
Which half? That made me laugh so hard!
Yes, ReStore is the best. I would volunteer there, but I think that I would bring home everything!
I wish I could stop by your shop at the antique mall but I live in MI. You've got some great stuff!! I may just have to follow you!
