Flea Market finds

19 years ago

On our way back home from a short trip to Branson, Missouri, my Dh and I stopped at a few flea markets in Northern Arkansas and picked up some deals. My Dh is even looking for glass items for my totems now. Lol. I found a glass bunny lid that I will use as a topper for a totem I'm making for my sister's birthday in July. Her nickname is Bunny. I found green insulators that I will be using to make hose guides. The canning jars will be filled with sand and candles and hung outside. But my favorite treasures are the singletree which I will hang from my oak tree with plants. The little rooster, which will probably be used on a birdhouse and the welcome sign that will go on a fence post. On the other side the sign says go away. Lol. Thanks to all the talented people on this forum for the great ideas.

Craftylady, I agree with you about the rooster, since that's my kitchen theme too. I'm slowly adding them into my garden as well. Lol. As soon as the totems are done, you can be sure I will post pictures.

Great finds. I'm totally green here. I also collect roosters. And bunnies! I really envy your finds on the amber glass stuff tho, I'm in process of making an amber totem and need some larger pieces. Just recently I found a an amber rooster, which is a bottle, and he'll be my topper of course.

Can't wait to see what you do with your haul. Lucky you to have a DH like that too. LOL.

Like all your finds!!
The white fluted plate/bowl is one of those things
that I would have second thoughts about using
in a totem. It would make a pretty one tho.

Wowie:) Love all the glass,but especially the blue mason jars, I'm always on the look-out for #13 on the bottom. My cousin used to tell me the moonshiners broke those because #13 was bad luck:) And love the milk glass, I've been collecting it. That welcome sign would look great on my porch and the rooster in my kitchen!

Kirk, I wish I could take credit for the hose guide idea but it was from someone on this forum. I was so excited when I found the insulators. Everyone has such great ideas that I copy all the time, including you.
Karen, I wish I could find an amber rooster to go with my clear one. It will be awesome as a totem.
Nonacook, I agree the white fluted bowl is too pretty to use on a totem but that is why I bought it. Lol.
Kudzukween, I never knew about the numbers on the blue mason jars, I looked and mine have the numbers 5 and 12 on them. But you can be sure I will be on the lookout for the number 13 now.
Can't wait to get started, if only the rain would stop so I could go to the barn to get my stuff. Lol.
