\"Treasure<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s that time of year – Spring Flea Markets<\/strong> and festivals are popping up. \u00a0Lucky for me! \u00a0We hit a few in the last couple of months and I’ve neglected to post any pictures. \u00a0 But no more waiting, I have plenty of pictures to share! \u00a0 One of our favorite stops when heading to the Lancaster, PA area is the family-friendly Oregon Dairy.<\/a>\u00a0– a restaurant, ice-cream shop, super market and playground all in one. \u00a0I have to thank my friend Laura<\/a> for sharing this local favorite with me \u00a0a few years ago.<\/p>\n

After a long winter wait, Schupp’s Grove<\/a> outdoor antiques market in Adamstown, PA is finally open again on the weekends! \u00a0It’s always fun to go antiquing outdoors under the great big trees. \u00a0We were up early and ready to go. \u00a0The vendors are always so nice at Schupp’s, often sharing a free treasure with the kids such as a matchbox car, ring or a marble or two. \u00a0We like to spend the day roaming the aisles here and also at the Renninger’s outdoor flea market.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/p>\n

\"Wolf<\/a><\/p>\n

I always stop to admire a old dress form, and a Wolf no less. \u00a0Someone named her Gertie.<\/p>\n

\"Vintage<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Vintage baby shoes of all kinds.<\/p>\n

Now here is a fascinating find – an 1880’s bull dog. \u00a0We enjoyed talking to the vendor about this rare antique pull toy. \u00a0The dog has wheels under his paws and can roll along. \u00a0He has realistic glass eyes and even growls (a quite startling growl!). \u00a0 \u00a0Can you imagine a child playing with this toy over one hundred years ago?<\/p>\n

This weekend amidst bouts of rain, I headed to the annual Lucketts’<\/a> spring antiques market with my youngest son. \u00a0We had the best time, just the two of us. \u00a0I shared a fun day we had here a few years ago in this post<\/a>. \u00a0 Running into a few jewelry-designer friends there was an extra bonus.<\/p>\n

\"Luckett's<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Ready<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Roses<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Now I wouldn’t leave you without sharing a few of the finds I have picked up recently!<\/p>\n

\"Antique<\/a><\/p>\n

I think a collection of mis-matched orphan transferware lids would make a pretty wall gallery….. but where to put these? \u00a0Hmmm. \u00a0If only I had more wall space in my studio. \u00a0 We’ve been collecting blue & white transferware for the past 12 years or so.<\/p>\n

\"Vintage<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at this sweet vintage romper with the hand-stitched Scotties! \u00a0I have a collection of wooden hangers that was waiting for something just like this. \u00a0The embroidered Scotties on linen in the background was a gift from my friend Kerry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Cabinet<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at the adorable girls in these sepia-toned cabinet cards. I was happy to find a few beautifully carved mother of pearl buttons. \u00a0There are a few antique buckles as well – the round ones will work perfectly in a project in my upcoming wire design book.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

The golden pages and worn edges on these antique photo albums are swoon-worthy. \u00a0 \u00a0I also found a drawer I couldn’t resist – on the bottom of the stack – the detail on the handle is so beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are two favorite finds. \u00a0I am hopelessly drawn to both antique photographs and albums. \u00a0The pretty lady from Iowa City in this \u00a0CDV (Carte de Visite<\/a>) caught my eye. \u00a0Of interest is the buttoned bodice of her dress and ruffled collar. \u00a0 What I really love is her hair – the thick braid sitting on her had like a crown, complete with a fashionable hair comb.<\/p>\n

How about you? \u00a0Let me know if you’ve made it to any spring flea markets, and if you found a special treasure or two!<\/p>\n
