In two weeks, I am driving up to Nashville to stay with my BFF, Kristy for "Girls Weekend". I am sooo excited to go to the Nashville Flea Market. Kristy goes at least once a month and is always talking about it. I have a few things on my "to find for cheap" list and I am hoping to get some of those items checked off. Here is my list so far.
I am loving vintage flash cards. The right ones look so cute in a frame.
Old skeleton keys....I do not know exactly what I am going to do with them...maybe just put them in jar. I have a few and I want more
Any big metal/wood/galvanized/plastic letters. I am looking for M's but also other letters for some projects that I have in mind.
Old grain sacks. I have seen these used to make everything from pillows to table runners...the possibilities are endless!
Vintage seltzer bottles. I just think it would look neat to have one on a bookcase or something.
An old fan for the guest room. I do not care if it works, only if it's cheap and looks good.
Old locker room baskets. I have a few ideas for these....maybe in the pantry to hold snacks, mixes, etc., maybe in the laundry room for single socks or stain removers, maybe in the kitchen on a shelf. I would love to find about three of them.
Vintage milk bottles with a carrier. I REALLY want one of these. I have found the bottles and I have found the carrier, but they are NEVER together and I never know if I will ever find a set. I want to use these as decoration on the kitchen shelf and and as the occasional flower vase. One flower in each jar looks adorable sitting there on a table!
Vintage soda crate. I have NO IDEA what to do with one of these....but I like them. Maybe it would work to hold magazines or something?
Vintage soda bottle caps. I plan to put a magnet behind and use these on my magnetic chalkboard in the kitchen...so cute!
Vintage letterpress printers block. I have been loving these for a while. I want to try and spell out "MOSKE". I found the "MOS" the other day at an antique mall here in Memphis, but I need the "KE". I also want the letters to spell out "LOVE". I am not REALLY sure why this last part was underlined....
