So many fun things at the flea market this morning (on an amazingly April-like April day: sunny and mid-50's).
Vintage Seventies avocado fondue pot...
"Handy Hannah" hair dryer. 1950's?
Sewing machines galore...
Lots of "miscellaneous"....
Here's my $12's worth:
3 1/4 yards of vintage unused cotton ticking for $4.
Old sheets @ $1 apiece -- perfect for muslins.
Vintage purple glass brooch, just $2.
Three vintage comic books: "Millie the Model" from 1969 and "Just Married" and "Girls' Romances" from 1965. The last two are over-the-top hilarious, as nearly every image is ironic refrigerator magnet or coffee mug-worthy!
Which is your favorite hoary cliche?
I'm toying with the idea of returning to pick up some vintage fabric I saw there that would make a cool shirt. Get thee behind me, Satan!
Have a great day, everybody!

Peter, WAIT! How can you stop without telling us what happens with the widow and Cal ? Was Ron really faking it, or was his love true ? Inquiring minds want to know!

Millie the model caught his eye with all those flashy furs!
DeleteGetting kind of old for "pulsating love" so I might have to settle for that Singer you spotted. Looks similar to the Singer 15 I learned on, which was the family workhorse for a lot of years.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be in NYC for one Sat. In May. Is this flea mkt. every Sat? I will be dragging hubby to Mood and other sewing venues but he loves flea markets.
ReplyDeleteSaturday and Sunday.
DeleteGod, I remember those comics. They will still being churned out in the 1970s, but I don't think the characters had moved beyond the late 1960s. My Mom used to devour those magazines--"True Romance" and the like.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you mean "Get thee behind me, Satin"? Or was it a different type of fabric? :-)
Oh gawd, I see those avocado fondue pots EVERYWHERE. But the purple brooch is really nice, and the ticking is definitely a SCORE. And yes: sheets for muslins is a GREAT idea. Wow, that's quite a heap of cuckoo clocks there in that one pic! and yes, I remember those turgid comic books; I got so sick of them because the women are all so VICTIM-ISH and LAME. Millie the Model? Meh. I liked X-men and Sgt. Fury BETTER.
ReplyDeleteOMG I never wanted this post to end. Hysterical! Laughing so hard at these "comic books"
ReplyDeleteThose comic books! What a find, hours of entertainment - the possibilities! I would be tempted to print some of those to poster size and hang them. Pulsating Love - what more could one ask for?
ReplyDeleteAn embrace that made her HEART throb with rapturous joy? Methinks she as her anatomy all wrong then! LOL! BTW I am emailing me the Ron Made me fall in love with me to my Mum (Mom) who married her Ron after a whirlwind romance about 9 years ago, and still going strong!
ReplyDeleteI got the smarts, the glasses, AND the love. If only my hair would behave...
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't have left that fondue pot behind, they are the best!! I love how wearing glasses automatically makes you smart, and taking them off makes you prettier. So glad we are living in different times. I am pretty sure people know when I am wearing my glasses I still can't spell.
ReplyDeleteI think that's my fondue pot!! Had one just like it way back when . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a riot. Thanks, Peter. Wish I could go flea marketing with you when I come home for a visit in June : ).
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to go to the flea market. I would love to tag along someday this summer!
ReplyDeleteI think it's the lighting. The shots a few days ago of you in the shirt look duller ... not you ... the shirt itself.
