| Easter lamb |
Today is Palm Sunday and here is a sandstone carved Easter lamb.

| cherry pitting machine |
This must be from a restaurant kitchen or a bakery. A cherry pitting machine.
As I said, it was meager pickings. Not much of interest. I did find a couple of broken brooches and a book with interesting fonts, but the dealer wanted a price with way too many zeros in it.... So, my treasures are few this time.

A carved and painted wooden swallow.

| antique lace |
Some old lace.

| wristwatch |
The important part of an old wristwatch.
Well - my husband disappeared for a bit and I was wondering where he had gotten to. He reappeared carrying something fairly heavy - 25 kg heavy, to be exact.

| anvil from Hungary |
A small anvil, from Hungary. He already has two (his grandfather was a renowned iron smith in South Tirol and one of the anvils was my wedding gift to him. What? It was beautiful!).
He is cleaning this one up for me!!! I am getting my own little anvil! Whoohooo! Max is the best man in the world!

well, it seems like even though the weather wasn't ideal and the crowd meager, you may have gotten one of the nicest gifts of the day! it touched me that your husband thought of you and what you could use... and that is really interesting about his grandfather... that little swallow is beautiful too ~
even though the weather didn't cooperate it looks like you had a good day :)
I think you did alright among the meager pickings. I can see that swallow in my house ;-) The anvil is the best though. You will have heaps of use out of it.
Love the swallow...the color is wonderful. We have swallows that nest in one of our chimneys every year! Very noisy. Your husband was so sweet to get you the anvil.
God Lord, a cherry pitting machine???!!! How amazing is that?
Oh you lucky girl. You have a WH also (wonderful husband)! Love the anvil, that is a beauty, as long as you don't have to carry it too far. It is waiting for the first blow from a comfy hammer. The swallow is amazing, LOVE that. Take care, Riki
Wow Ren, that's a wonderful gift ! We all need this type of anvil, no ?
The swallow is just a trasure, may be some molds to do with it, or too big for ?
Happy to see that sun is back in your soul and house.
How come my husband never bought me an anvil???? (Bought me a lawnmower once but I got even and bought him an iron)
The little wooden swallo is loveley and so is the old watch.
i just got an anvil, too, but yours is waaaaaaaay better! grab the hammer, girl!
Oh what fun..I love shopping for this kind of stuff!! My grandfather invented several hundred fruit pitting, peeling and slicing machines..I wonder if that was one of his?
I have left you a special award on my blog hon, I hope you will come by and snag it:) Hugs and love, Sarah
I think my favorite of your finds is the anvil! It looks so cool!! And I love that stone lamb... Wishing you a great Monday! love, Silke
Some day, I am hoping, I will get to go to this flea market with you! I love your photos and stories! Now lets see what you make with that anvil!
I don't see how your finds could be considered "meager"...it's as if you hit the jack pot! I love the vintage lace, the beautifully-colored sparrow, the watch full of character, and the great anvil from Hungary (wonder who owned it?)! And I've never seen a cherry -pitting machine. Thanks for all of interesting pictures!
I'm glad you labeled the cherry pitter because I would have been wondering what that crazy thing was!
Are you ever a lucky girl!!!!Lots of wonderful little treats a way way cool anvil and a husband who Rocks!!!!!
