Flea Market Finds

Yesterday, Sunday, I found some beauties. First a selection of Meakin plates.

 

These are dated from the 1950's. The pattern is hand drawn so its a very delicate pattern.

I also found some more traditional Myott dishes. Myott bought the Meakin company at some stage.

 

I like the slightly grey colour on the edge of the plates, its not very evident from the pictures.

  

And finally I found a full set of Denby pottery. This pattern is from the 1970's. And I have to say I love the retro vibe of it.

The pattern has a nice orange glazed centre with brown rim.

I was super delighted with my finds this week. If you would like to see more finds check out here.

Suddenly a Sunday doesn't feel like a Sunday unless it involves visiting a flea or a car boot Sale. Today was no exception, and I picked up some lovely Meakin pottery.

The first piece is a great Poppy pattern teapot, only 2.50, hidden away at the back of a shelf.

Then I found this dinner service.

Its not quite complete, but it includes a gorgeous teapot and coffee pot.

The pattern is Dragon of Kowloon, and its dated from early 70's. I'm liking the colours of this set, and all for only a tenner.

Check out here for more lovliness.

This week I found some really cute patterns.

I'm liking the pintucks on the front, as I have never tried them before.

These 4 girls patterns just happened to be all in my daughters size. I like them all.

These ones remind me of dresses I used to wear to school, way back when.

This pattern is my favorite I think it will look so cute for a beach dress.

After all that pattern finding I found some nice vintage buttons.

I also found some make your own buttons. They look pretty, and quite easy to make also. And, as it says on the packet, they cannot rust. Check out lots more finds over here. Happy hunting.

Was very happy to find this gorgeous little tea set yesterday at the car boot sale.

Its Staffordshire Pottery, and its a vintage 70's pattern. There's six cups & saucers, and six side plates. I love it. and all for only €5.

I also found another box of vintage patterns, some of them yucky. But there were some beauties among them, which I plan on making in the near future.

All of the patterns were only €2. Was very excited when I spied them. Check out more lovelies here.

I've been looking for a spice rack lately for the camper. Came across this one yesterday.

Think the bottles are pyrex, I like the colours, they look 70's.

Now they just have to be attached to wall. A bargain at only €4.
Check out some other flea finds here. You can add your own too if you like.

Thrift shop finds.

On one of my weekly visits to my local St. Vinnies, I came across these lovelies.

Its a bunch of mostly hideous patterns from the 80's. The Lady at the shop was actually throwing them out. some of them are more awful then others.Precisely the one's above.

On the other hand there are a few which I might just try out. The shirt dress and the sun dress are ok, maybe. I am not fully convinced that there could ever be an 80's fashion revival. Having lived through the 80's most of the clothes were pretty bad. I wonder would anyone buy these patterns? And lastly the little girl on the right in the green dress scares me!!!
