Nevertheless, I was able to find a couple of things to bring home. Bet you're surprised.
Two chains, one silver, the other bone or perhaps horn - I'm not sure - and tiny garnet beads.
A bunch of silver plated base metal dangles, some of them with rhinestones and/or faux pearls.
Some gorgeous grey mother of pearl buttons and two little metal beadlike thingies, that might have been intended as studs.
A sky full of facetted glass stars in various colours.
Two hollow silver beads with bits of chain, possibly from a jewelry piece from an Arabian country or Afghanistan.
I am glad to be back home, after wading through deep puddles and trying to dodge people's umbrellas. It is warm, the kitties are all cozy in their respective sleeping places and I am going to try to be creative in my studio. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

"Flea Market Warrior" ... that's your new name! Love your finds.
You are intrepid! And look it even paid off wading through the mud and rain. You have such a good eye for finding little bits to repurpose in your own designs.
Love those grey mop buttons. It must be kind of worth it to tromp around in the cold and rain just to come back to a cozy warm house. Enjoy your afternoon creating.
Hallo Renate, vielen Dank für deinen Comment. Ja, es geht mir gut und ich versuche, der Jahreszeit angepasst, alles etwas langsamer anzugehen. Ich liebe deine Flohmarktgeschichten. Und die Horn(?)Perlen sind traumhaft schön. Ich bin schon gespannt, in welcher Zusammenstellung ich ihnen wieder begegnen werde. Ich hoffe du hattest einen schönen und erfolgreichen Tag in deinem Studio. Liebe Grüße Inge
Through rain or snow, right Renate! You always come out ahead with some beautiful treasures!
Hach, Renate, Du findest aber auch immer Schätze!
Ah yes rain will chase away most vendors, but I'm glad to see you went out for the treasure hunt anyway.
Hermanita the horn/bone beads are a great find!!! It seems neither bone or horn was used here. Of course the only animals with horns are scrawny shrub deer, but bone is easily come by.
Hopefully you are dry and warm still tucked into bed because it will make facing Monday morning a bit easier :)

I agree with Barbara, you are a warrior! But it was something fun to do on a rainy day - why let a little rain keep you at home when there are still adventures out there?
oh you lucky! arg, im so jealous!!!
Your flea markets are NOTHING like OUR flea markets. We just have the tube sock variety down here.
Oh, I really love those faceted stars Renate...I can see them hanging on one of those small Christmas trees....
xoxo
