A Weakness For Flea Market Finds::

I have a weakness for linens... especially ones with crochet borders. Yesterday's flea had boxes full of doilies, pillowcases and flour sacks. They were my first finds of the morning ;) As I was rummaging through the three huge boxes with another woman. She was kind enough to give me her pillowcases. Sometimes, we just have to walk away... indeed she did. Confessing she didn't need anymore for her collection. I thanked her and began the process of hunting for more. My weakness began to show. Like I needed more?? She, then handed me a box and asked the question. " Have you ever been here before?" I was silent... thinking to myself... ever been is an understatement. "Yes" I, replied. "Well you need a box!" she said. lol! Why, I was only carrying massive amounts of linens. It was like laundry day in the Hanley household. Was it noticeable? I was just hoarding the good stuff. As if ,someone would come any minute and take it from me. It was mine... all mine. Can you tell it's serious business at the flea I tell you. So, thanks to the woman who gave her linens to me. The silent type. If only she knew, I'm a frequent flyer at the flea. Aren't YOU?
       Just a FYI ,I'll be taking a blogging break. Spending some time with my Mom and my Daughter. I'll be back with new inspiration and lots of great info to share.
 Again, you can catch me on Instagram. Or, twitter from my iPhone if I have some time on my hands.
       The summer isn't over yet for me. It's only begun.. enjoy the rest of your summer. See you soon :)
