Most of you know me well enough by now to know that on most Sundays, I am off to the flea market treasure hunting. Today was no exception. The weather was lovely, sun was shining, not too hot... and I did unearth some treasures!
Lots of mother of pearl buttons; see those little tiny ones; and some lace (or is it tatting?)
I found some vintage bling also! Some rhinestone buttons, a very vintage rhinestone buckle, some watch parts and a lovely brooch of carved bone, with a religous image I will have to research.

I adore flea markets...you just never know what you will find!
The flea is probably my favorite escape!! You found awesome treasures today Renate...I can't pick a favorite, but that bone brooch, WOW!
Great finds Renate; I am going to start looking for a flea market. All the Sun. finds are making me itch for a flea market.
great day at the flea market for sure! i love the watch parts, but also the other finds as well! enjoy the research and let us know what it means... too hard to pick a fav - the way your compositions are arranged, each is equally wonderful!
what treasures! exciting to dream of what they will re-become...
Renate, you know, I look forward each week to your flea market finds. Can I go with you one day? The religious image looks very familiar to me. I must go look in some of my books on icons. Beautiful finds and as always I look forward to seeing what they become in your wonderful creativity. Best, LeAnn
These really are treasures!! Just like you! Have a great week! Blessings.
Oh, what wonderful treasures you found, Renate!! I especially love the brooch with the image - reminds me of our many visits to Mexico... Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Silke
I would love to go flea marketing with you! I don't really have that sort of thing around here...oh, an antique store or two, but I think I would rather go treasure hunting at a market! And it would be more fun to go with someone who appreciates it, like you! Thanks for the inspiration! Enjoy the day! Erin
You really find some great things where you live!! I love the soft colors in your first photo...the cream buttons and lace. And your second photo shows the exact treasures I would have picked up! I especially like the religious piece as well as the old silver compact on the left (is that from a watch?)!
wowow the brooch is stunting!!!!
Wow, you got some great finds there. I love flea markets.
