flea market and vintage buttons

Happy Monday.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

We had a great time at the flea market yesterday although next time we will probably go on our own.  The little ones enjoyed it but they got tired and maybe a little bored after a while.  Sadly, they haven't developed our love of rummaging in markets yet.

I did get some cute vintage buttons though and a few superhero comics for the boys and I am looking forward to going again, just as soon as I can get some babysitters arranged.





A little random prettiness, a bunch of wildflowers I rescued from the rain.

    Pretty buttons and flowers. I always find when you go to things like that with kids you are constantly worried that they are picking up rare vintage teapots and they are going to drop them! x

      I am looking forward to more treasure hunting and I couldn't bear seeing those little flowers getting battered by the rain ... Bee :)

    Such pretty buttons! We took my two to a car boot sale last week and they were in their element looking at toy cars and second hand barbie dolls.

      I'm hoping to use them for crafting ... but in the meantime I am admiring them like a slightly crazy woman :)
