Although the thermometer says it is "only" minus 5°, it feels much, much colder. January is not a good flea market month even when the weather is sunny, but with the gloomy grey weather and the cold, there was even less going on. Not many sellers braved the cold and even less buyers (or maybe just less lookers...). I didn't take any pictures of the flea market itself today, it was too cold to get the camera out. Wasn't much worth taking a picture of, either. But my perseverance did pay off - I did manage to find a couple of treasures.
some lovely old secret keepers
some wonderful old buttons - just look at the gorgeous brass filigree!
some more great vintage rhinestone pieces
My cats have all got the right idea - it is winter, time to go into hibernation...

Kiki - yes, she has buried her face in the towel...
I feel like joining them...

I'm in love with your keys! They have a lovely and quite elegant shape. I'm just up and thinking maybe I should take a clue from your kitties and go back to bed. Cold again here. BTW, it did not rain mud but the wind did knock down heaps of branches. Stay warm!
We have heavy rain and cold here as well...I have similar old keys I appreciate.
well you are one dedicated person! you deserve your great finds!! everything is really cool - love the keys... those buttons are really neat... yes, cats seem to have no problem burying their faces and still breathing! bundle up and enjoy your sunday!
Oh, you are braver than me to go to the flea market at those temperatures. I'd be like you kitties - with my head in a blanket... You found some wonderful treasures - those buttons are simply exquisite!! Stay warm!! Love, Silke
I don't know how you handle that cold. I'm in "sunny" Arizona where it is rainy and 50 degrees and I am freezing!!! I feel spoiled. Your market finds are great, especially the buttons.
Hello
You're either the bravest person I have met or the craziest...you did good though. Love the keys!
Blessings
Minus 5!!!!??? I'm impressed you even ventured out! And your cats are so sweet. Mine are doing the same, but nuzzling up against each other! Cats have the right idea.
Oh Renate, you are one hardy soul! And I'm so glad it paid off to brave the cold. Those keys are absolutely amazing...what a great find! And you know I jut love the vintage rhinestone pieces...you sure hit the jackpot. I hope you're bundled up and warm at home now...enjoy a nice cup of cocoa! Sure wish we could sip one together. :-)
You are quite the brave heart Renate! But you have some great goodies to show for it. I can't tolerate the cold too much, so I would never do it, but I like to sleep on Sundays!!
Your cats are too cute! My mini dachsund does the same thing, covers himself entirely, I can't understand how he breathes! Have a warm and toasty day my friend!
Lovely keys and cats!
those keys have exquisite shape and patina, and the buttons simply glow. i can't wait to see what you dream up for them!
poor kiki!! what an hard life.. poor cat!!
You've found treasures again!! your rhinestones make me dream.. so so cutes..
Beautiful treasures Renate, hope you are not transformed in an ice block ! The weather is cold in France too, and Mlle Poupette looks like Kiki and Casanova.
looks like to found some fabulous treasures...of course you deserve it braving the cold weather.
Even when there's nothing you find something! Love the rhinestones especially!
Keys are always a great find and the rhinestone buckles are wonderful!
Kitties always have the right idea, they will just sleep right through winter!
What great finds! I went to an indoor flea market a few weeks ago and I couldn't find anything. I think it must be a skill, finding the diamond in the rough. I love the keys and buttons etc.
Your kitties have the right idea during the cold winder days...
Hermanita,
Secret keepers and rhinestones soooooo cool!!!! You did very well little sister especially since the frigid north had to be conquered inorder for the hunt to begin!! :)

LOVE the KEYS! I have a huge stash of them...this reminds me that I need to find them and use them! And those buttons are making me SWOON! Lovely finds and so great that you could stick with it in that cold! Enjoy the day! Erin
Old keys are the best. Imagine what they might have been used for and who cherished them. Your kitties are a bit camera shy. :)
You always find the best stuff! You'll hve to show us what you make with all your new goodies!
Those buttons are a treasure, I love them.
Great finds sweetie! Love the kitty pictures! Stay cozy. Blessings.
