Flea Market Finds #1

Joining in with Flea Market Finds this week.  This year I am making more of an effort to be frugal in order to speed up renovation work on our Colonial home so I thought this meme would help me stay on track.


My dated 100 year old kitchen has a wall of open shelving and everything ALWAYS looks cluttered and messy.  I was a tad excited to find these four matching cannisters complete with lids in which to hide things.  A man was looking at them in the shop and I tried to remain calm, and close.  He put them down and I wasted no time in scooping them up for myself, HURRAH!

$10 well spent!

    Great find.

    I've done the hovering before, chanting under my breath "put them down, put them down", then snap there mine now. Ha..ha..ha
