On Sunday, my roommate and I couldn't think of anything we'd rather do in the pouring rain than go to an outdoor flea market all the way in Hell's Kitchen. I love going to flea markets and tag sales. You might not see something amazing but you can always see the potential in it to BE amazing. I always end up with something that I'm going to make into a project (which I can't really talk about because some people might receive them as gifts. Awkward.).My roommate got this adorable hand mirror. I love the little rose detail on the back. Precious.
Some cute old keys. (PROJECT!)
I did not buy this. I promise you.
Florentine style painted diamond panels. Made in Italy!
A "wee" sewing machine. Hand painted. $ 125.00. ugh.
The awesome jug which, for now I'll use as a vase but later I'd like to turn it into a lamp.
Mini tea kettle.
Wooden panels with little painted scenes. SO cool--but did not buy.
A close up on the panel.
Terracotta painted tile.
Check out this amazing framed map which is currently hanging in our
living room! I love framed maps.
I'd love to go back or hit up some other flea markets around the city. Here is the website to the other flea markets around NYC. I can't wait to start transforming my so called junk into something awesome that I'll love!
