Today's boredom was broken by a short trip to the local flea market. Other than the usual local fresh vegies I made 2 purchases. Firstly is this lovely frosted and clear glass footed bowl which I am now using as a sweets dish - Just $2.00
I fell in love with this French cut lead crystal mini ice bucket - Just $10 because it had lost it's lid. It was covered in grime which was hiding it's true beauty, but after a nice hot soapy wash it sparkled like diamonds.
And looks great holding my bunch of paper roses.
And here it is sitting on my new table which is now home.
I found another lamp stashed away which I will use in the meantime, and of course just had to put one of my florentine doiley's on it. I just love my new table. What great finds have you found on E-Bay?

Two more wonderful finds Fee. You may be able to start a shop if you keep buying each day you can't sew. Four weeks is a long time.LOL
Great buys there Fee..
Gorgeous goodies you have picked up - everything looks wonderful on your new table.
Love the lolly dish!!
Love the ice bucket vase. How sweet!

More great finds - love that ice bucket with the flowers! Your table looks wonderful, especially with your doily.
I don't shop on ebay anymore - hubby keeps finding cars. Our last 3 cars have come from there. GREAT deals, amazing deals and excellent cars, but honestly, our driveway is only so big!
Divine just Divine - I would have snapped it up too! It looks great :-)
Great Finds Especially the Ice Bucket..looks Beautiful..Hope your Hand is feeling Better & got the chance to step out for a bit...
cheers
I think it makes a much lovelier vase than it ever did an ice bucket, so who needs a lid?
Happy stitching,

hello Fi,
I have just caught up with your hand surgery, I hope that you are having a good restful recovery. Your flea market finds look great!
耐心是一株很苦的植物，但果實卻很甜美。..................................................
