Flea Market Finds and Christmas Puzzle Contest!
Saturday, December 19th, 2020

I’m late posting today! My dd decided this morning that the family needed an “outing”. So, off to the flea market we went! We love going because, not only are we inveterate junkers, but the local flea market is open, well-ventilated, and no one’s ever there! The few who were there all stayed masked!

Anyway, this was my haul…

On the left is a decorative tin ($2). I plan to cut it up to make jewelry with the pieces! The plates are Fiesta ware and were only $1 apiece! We’re adding to our collection. The little box in front contains a vintage metal toy ($8). It has a key to wind it up, then it pecks as it walks. It’s heavy for being so small. It’s going on my desk! Those balls? They’re decorated tiny Christmas ornaments made into earrings. My dd and I are wearing them on Christmas day. Lastly, the jar is a vintage (1950s) powder jar ($10) with a swan on top of it. I collect those as well, so was thrilled to find it!

    My favorite winter view is watching a light snow falling outside while I’m cozy inside. LOL

    Watching snow fall outside and if I was enjoying a cozy couch in front of a fire that would be even better.

    3:12 Love you flea market finds!

    My favorite winter view? Right now I am finding the view out my living room window especially lovely. It looks out over the neighbor’s front yard/porch. They have an American flag flying. The trees are bare and I can see all the way to the corner. That house always decorates a lot. Very festive. I find it quite restful and beautiful.

    We don’t get snowy vistas here, but those are beautiful to see! Sometimes it’s lovely thing to watch the rain pour down when you’re safe and cozy inside, with a book in hand 🙂

    4:14 When I lived in Connecticut, I used to love looking out from the upstairs window over the hills below. It had to be before the roads were cleared.

    In enjoy watching it snow snuggled up with a good book and a cup of cinnamon spice tea. We don’t get a lot of snow but it’s nice to watch when we do.

    My favorite winter view is watching my neighbors Christmas lights from an outdoor tree every year. The whole neighborhood gets to enjoy the lights and I can see them from my bedroom window. It’s only one large tree and the lights aren’t overpowering, it’s just right.

    5:16 – I’ve found the secret to a better score – LOL. I maximized the screen and it really helped a lot. (I have a 32″ monitor – LOL.)
