Flea market finds... Vintage fair

It is so much fun to browse vintage fairs with a friend and this morning I did just that!  There were a few things that caught my eye and a couple of things that I brought home, like this cute deer  calf and beautiful linen tablecloth with map of Australia and native flowers on it. It's just the way I like my linen - heavy with rough texture.

I liked the simple look and pretty pattern of this coffee jug. It is stainless steel and matches other items we've got in our kitchen.

Flea market finds... Camden market, London

Hope you had a great week! 
I am still trying to settle back in and it feels that being in London just a week ago was not real... I look at the pictures often and I think I already miss that place. 
It was so much fun! 
During our first week there, we stayed a few days in the city and one day jumped on a tube to visit local market. I was told to expect something unusual and quirky and so it was! I've never seen such an unusual space to hold a market before - old horse stables:)

 We arrived there very early, way before the opening to get a chance to have a good look around and take pictures as it gets so busy, it's hard to even stop and stare at something gorgeous like this shandelier!

Shopping at that market was an experience on itself, just walking around made me so excited about what I will actually might find there when it opens!

Market in the horse stables

We found so much vintage and quirky things that day but, unfortunately, not many of them I could take on a plane so I just picked a few little keepsake size goodies.

First, I had fun browsing through 4 draws of vintage buttons and here are my finds. I especially like that large blue sparkly button.

Then, I saw vintage clothing store where I found this great vintage leather clutch (in my favourite brown colour) and a few scarves. That brownish one matches the clutch perfectly and I love the folklore style flowers!

I really wish I could bring a few more things that I saw their but maybe next time...

Flea market finds...online

Hope you had a great week and maybe found an hour or two to visit your local shop or a market... I haven't been able to find any free time this week but I did browse my favourite online vintage shop - Vintage by Lou Lou 
fine bone china trio

I love this trio with pretty garden flowers that reminded me that Spring is not that far away! I always look for a gold boarder on the saucers so they match the other sets that I've got. Although, they all have different patterns, it somehow unites them.  

find for a kitchen

This egg holder already found it's place in the kitchen and I like it's simple country style. I am now looking for a milk jar or bottle to compliment it.

Another op-shop find - green mugs

Green mugs (op-shop find)

Hope you had a lovely week and had some time to stop by your local op-shop or a flea market! 
I've been lucky this week to find a pair of green mugs that were made in Norway (hand-painted silkscreen). The mark also says "Brazil" which I assumed to be the name of the collection or name of the print. 
Most of all I like the pattern of the leaves! So detailed but at the same time simple and sweet.

Op-shop find

Pretty Crown china set

This morning, while walking back home I stopped by our local St. Vincent op-shop and I am so glad I did. I found this sweet set of Crown Staffordshire china. 


I like it's simple but very pretty pattern with lovely flowers. It will be a perfect set for some picture styling and a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Cute market find

Market find

I have been enjoying Flea market finds theme over at Her Library Adventures for some time now but joined only once long time ago
Since then, I couldn't find time to do some thrifting until I stopped by Paddington market a month ago. 
I found these Royal Grafton fine bone china set - cute milk jar and sugar/handmade jam bowl. I like their delicate design with pretty violet flowers. I couldn't resist getting this set for $35.

Flea markets finds

Every time I go on a trip, I go to the local vintage and charity shops to meet local people
and look for the goodies and keepsakes that will remind me about the great time I had!
The honeymoon in Tasmania last year was not an exception!

I found this beautiful embroidered napkins,

cross-stitched table runner and 2 matching napkins
(I just can not go pass the cross-stitch embroidery!)

little glass bottle,

and, finally, cup and saucer that my husband picked up and we just had to buy it as he loves Royal Crown china!

Thank you Sophie for hosting Flea market finds theme!
