flea market finds

This week is full of the good stuff my fellow flea market fiends. After the the previous weeks car theft debacle and the scariest power bill I've ever received I was feeling a bit like my luck had run out. So when my Dad dropped down a thirty year old Datsun 300c with a royal blue velvet interior and an engine that purrs like a big old kitty and I sold some stuff on ebay for way more than I was expecting, all of a sudden things were looking much brighter. 

Clockwise from top left we have, one hand blown lime green glass vase, a spiky little Japanese 'starburst-ish' clock, one fantastically atomic yellow and black tea pot and a gelatilicious set of Nallyware spice canisters. Not a bad bit of plunder and I didn't have to burn down a single village to get it.

    I hear you about the bills, sista! I wish someone would steal my car, though.

    Thank goodness for Dads. And I hope you sell the above for a pretty penny.

    Your Nallyware canisters are lovely Estelle...the colous are just so gorgeous and I like that ever-so-cool teapot very much!
    Glad to hear you've got wheels again...they sound like pretty groovy wheels too!

    A Datsun! SO cool. Love the clock and the canisters! We pay our utilities an averaged amount per month - much more manageable.

    On closer inspection I realise we had that exact clock when I was little.

    Zigsma, given how our lives are prone to a reasonable amount of serendipity, I would not half be surprised if that wasn't your old clock.
