Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good day! I wanted to share my flea market rescues from the weekend. I love to go to flea markets. One particular flea market in town is very dirty and a total disaster, really! They pretty much just dump things everywhere, and don't use any rhyme or reason when they set things up. I kind of like rummaging through the stuff because you never know what treasure you are going to find, and the stuff is usually pretty cheap. On one table I could see linens under a pile of tools. So, I decided to check them out. I found the most beautiful cross-stitched linens. The cross-stitching was so well done. I couldn't believe they were set under a pile of tools. There was 3 pieces together. I had to buy them. They needed to be washed and had some stains from being piled under the tools. But I managed to get the stains out. I am very pleased with myself. Here they are!
Aren't they gorgeous!!
I also made another purchase at the same flea market. Now, they did do a better job protecting this one. It was hanging from a hanger from a book shelf. It's a little wall hanging tea cup quilt. It's so cute. It is hand quilted and has needle turn applique. It is very well made. I just love it.
These items are all safe with me now. I have rescued them from the dirty flea market. I am very happy with my purchase. I hope you like them too.
Hugs

These are gorgeous! You are going to have to take me there sometime.
Fantastic finds from the flea market. Those linens are beautfil. I like your new blog header too. Ann :-)
Nice job cleaning up those beautiful stitcheries! The nerve of some people- putting them under tools!
I love flea markets too!! I think it is almost better if things are in a jumble because they usually dont price them so high....it can be hard to get a bargain..
Your finds are wonderful.....
OMG...what a great rescue...it looks really gorgeous...
