Flea market

Hi dear friends,

today was flea market day!! After many Sundays without interesting founds, today I was lucky and got some very nice antique laces and a beautiful cutter probably used in pastry.

Have a very nice Sunday. Hugs.

Surprising finding

Hi friends,

yesterday we have been at our local flea market, just to have a look after a long time we haven't been there. We came home with a lovely set of creamer and sugar bowl, we loved the look of it. Once at home I had a closer look and on the bottom of each peace I found the mark BMP Canada. I googled it and surprisingly I discovered that it was a famous pottery production during 1947 to 2004. If you are interested have a look here and here.

It is just surprising how we could find such a piece here, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, probably it was brought here by some emigrant who was there and came back to the Azores.

Anyway, we love the pieces even more now!!

Have a great week-end. Hugs.

Hi friends,

first Sunday in Dezember and it is flea market again!!! Here are the little treasures I found today.

One more bowl, this time a very tiny one, just 4". One lighter for our collection, about 1 1/2". And finally two antique wooden whirligigs, just lovely.

Happy Sunday!!!. Pink

Flea market

Hi friends,

Yesterday it was a busy day, with guests living and new ones coming. But we managed to organize the day and have a look at the monthly flea market (we missed it on June and July!!). This is what we found.... a beautiful big handmade old tipical plate. It measures 14"/36cm and it is a fantastic centerpiece on our dining table.

I love the very simple but elegant and timeless design!
Another good day.

Flea market and new house

Hi friends,

finally yesterday we decided to go to the flea market and I found 11 cute little crib figures. I suppose they are spanish or portuguese and probably quite old. I loved their little round faces.

Today it is a very important day to us. We started with the building of our new house. Have a look at my page new house, where I post pictures of the building process.
