pickin!

We went picking for a few hours and brought home some goodies. Here are a few snapshots from our trip. Despite the boiling temperatures, we were able to score some pretty good finds! We didn't take everything home with us that we saw, we wish we could have. 

Picking done at Yankee Flea Market, Inc.

Open Tuesday-Sunday

1311 Park Street (route 20)

Palmer, MA 01069

#413-283-4910

minutes from the MA Pike (take exit 8)

Can't you just picture the old New England kitchens these once stood in? These spice tins remind us of some good ol' home cooking. 

We use vintage thermoses for lamps. If you are interested in one of ours, please contact us!

and yes, we are the Flea Circus, but clowns scare us at times! 

See that vintage BINGO game under the clown? That came home with us! A BIG score!

Check out the patina on this vintage boxing game!

These items went home with me, Aly. Can you tell I'm a teacher? A plaid lunch box, old math books and a table runner just jumped right into my basket. I love the robin's egg blue color in the table runner. Oh, and that cute little elephant below went home with me too! Something about the yellow stole my heart.

Oh, yes and this sign was the best!

Some items found we did not post yet, but will be revamped into some new items that we will share and will be for sale at Crompton Collective and at our 

Fall Open Studio, so stay tuned!

Best!

The Traveling Circus Gals,

We thought that we'd share what our homes look like. We are always revamping, but here is Aly's kitchen. Nothing fancy, or glam, just a small kitchen with good flea market finds, good eats and good company! What else could you ask for? Enjoy!

Sweet Land of Liberty and Cookouts!

 We thought we would share a sampling of some of our favorite red, white and blue cookout decor! All photos we give tremendously huge credit to Sara of Home and Garden Designs.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

It's that time of year when driving down the street makes me drool over the pristine lawns and lush floral that adorn cute homes.  I think "what do they have that I don't?"... answer:  a green thumb!

So after managing to squeak out some container herbs last year, I thought I'd out do myself and try flowers.  After googling for the 800th time the difference between Annuals and Perennials (which personally I think the terms are backwards but whatever) - I hit the local nursery.  My mission:  COLOR.  

When I got home I set out to do what I know best - look for junk to fill with flowers!  Here is what I did:

I am no where near done as this little arrangement exhausted both me and my wallet.  So while I work on installment 2, head on over to Funky Junk Interiors and see what she's been working on!

If you are feeling overwhelmed with a garden scenario (like myself) - start small... look for containers/vessels/rusty pails and teapots.  If you are using them indoors, simply fit a glass (or I've used recycled yogurt cups) into the item to allow it to hold water.  

Here is a great re-use of a vintage thermos!  Already meant for liquids, this makes a great statement even with the simplest of flowers!

Happy gardening!
