Last month we headed across the river to visit one of the largest Flea Market’s in our state. We enjoy going to the Flea Market a few times every year. It’s always fun to see what kind of treasures that you can find. When visiting a Flea Market you always want to dress appropriately for the current weather conditions, wear comfortable walking shoes, bring along cash and a reusable shopping bag. I also recommend you wear sunscreen and bring along a bottle of water.
On this particular visit to the Flea Market I purchased a few things. From one vendor I purchased 4 wooden curtain rods. All 4 were brand new. I got them for a bargain price of $5.00 for all four of them! Wowza, they would of cost me about $75 at retail. What a deal!
Next, I love anything beach and coastal. I found an older pottery piece by FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI Bitossi. It’s imported from Italy. It’s made out of ceramic and features a drip glaze. Not fond of the brown color but I do love that seashell shape! I decorate in a coastal them with light colors so it does stick out like a sore thumb. I decided to place the dish in our Florida Sunroom and I use it as a hard candy dish out there.
The bottom is signed and numbered. I’m not a collector so I really don’t know anything about it…other than I like the unique seashell shape. I’m considering turning it into a succulent planter. Who knows what I’ll eventually do with it. I bought it for $3.00 and feel that was a great deal!
