"Sweet Deer" Sisters Treasures
at Vintage Market-Home & Garden |
Hey, Y'all!
Recently, I caught up with Betsy of Sisters Treasure at San Antonio's Mission Open Air Flea Market. By the time I arrived she'd all ready taken a couple of loads to her car, but was kind enough to show me the stuff she'd passed on...and yes, it was good stuff! Wednesday is "garage sale" day at this flea market so you never know what you'll find.
We found all kinds of great garden metal, including furnace grates, a small windmill fan, and patio chairs. In addition there were chandeliers, a chippy green shutter, and a funky purple table that I figured would most likely have a close encounter with some white paint once I got it home.
Together we shopped and brainstormed on ideas for the great JUNK we found. It soon became apparent we needed a way to get our newly found treasures to our cars. Fortunately, Mission Open Air Flea Market rents carts and wagons for just such a quandary. Betsy navigated through the busy market with me following close behind hanging onto our treasures at the rear of the wagon while pulling her FULL little shopping cart.
We must have looked pretty serious because everyone got out of our way. (BEWARE: SERIOUS JUNKERS!) :)
We loaded our cars and headed to a San Antonio legend Bill Miller Bar-B-Q. After thanking Betsy, I headed to Ulvade to check out Vintage Market-Home & Garden--a shop I've heard so many good things about...and I wasn't disappointed.

Needless to say, I found a few more things that I added to the heap of stuff all ready in the back of the SUV and called it a day. The next day I headed to
Seguin, east of San Antonio, to Aunt Maudie's Attic where I always find fabulous goodies ...and this time was no different!

Here's where this JuNkIn' adventure comes together--I purchased an old windmill fan blade at the flea market the day before and lo and behold there was a cool windmill stand in Curious' booth at Aunt Maudie's Attic! (Thanks, Glenn!) By now, it was durn-right challenging to get all my finds crammed into the old SUV...but I did.

I love it when it all comes together!
Here's the completed windmill and the table after a close encounter with some chalk paint!
Until next time,
Peace, love, and all the good stuff!
