A vacation wouldn't be complete without a browse through the local antique and thrift shops. While in Daytona for Thanksgiving I came across a hodgepodge of vintage finds. My Dad found the horsey ride at a car swap meet. Isn't it great? Such a unique piece for a collecting home. Then I found an array of vintage brooches and graphic wall art. The man and woman silhouettes are made of thin, knitted fabric. Wouldn't it be neat to do something similar with a modern silhouette? To top it off - a snippet of a rare Volkswagen at a car show. Did you see good finds this weekend?

I haven't been flea market shopping in too long (that's how you know I've been REALLY busy). On Sunday I hope to pop into our local favorite shop and check out the wares. You always see such great treasures!
Let us know what you find! Thanks!
FUN horsey ride... did you ride it? LOL
My 10 almost 11 year old insisted on riding one of those machines the other day... he is almost 5ft tall... his older brother filmed him with his phone/camera and apparently it is on YOU TUBE... ugh! I have yet to find it.
GREAT finds... you always find FAB things!
ENJOY your day!

i'm admiring that cute red airplane find
I love all the buttons and pins! So fun!
no, but i wish i had found all those pins for my cards! what a great selection!
for some reason i can not comment on your posts when i am at home. so i check your blog everyday at lunch, as my work computer allows me to. i'm not sure why that is.
oh, well. even if i can't comment, i can read, and that i do. it's always enjoyable!
I would totally set up Sandy in my apartment if I had the room :)
I love that horse! You have inspired me to go to a car boot sale this very weekend. Unless it's cold. Or wet. Or I don't have money. Still, must persevere!
I want a Karmann Ghia so badly! One day, when I have a garage, it will be mine :)
That array of brooches has me drooling.
Love the red airplane pic!
Those are great finds! I haven't done much thrifting lately, but my grandmother did give me a huge box of great costume jewelry to pick through...before she gave the rest to my 9 year old niece to play with :)
totally frothy over the vintage brooches!!
oh! that sandy!
Thanks for the comment on my new bloggity blog! I love the things that you post so thanks for that too!

Those brooches are great! Such a great way to spice up a winter coat or knit hat. I could so see having a huge collection of those!

I adore visiting flea markets & antique shows...must admit still get butterflies when I step in one... they are treasures from the past indeed!
Love the mishmash! I am trying NOT to shop/browse, except for Christmas presents for other people!
