And it was good abundant fun, but for some reason, when we got home, I felt as though I had been weirdly and uncharacteristically restrained. Why? I don't know, I had money in my pocket (rare), an enthusiastic and worthy companion (Katie) and even no Iris (she was at my mum's) so I should've been verily laden down with much treasure, buying with complete abandonment. How very puzzling.
However, what I did find I love, and it was super-fun cruising round the hundreds of stalls in the hazy sunshine.
So - what did I get? C'mon, let me show you...
Brass fruits - for the shop
Sweet little egg cups - also for the shop
Funny little cat - he's made himself at home on Iris's treasure shelves.
A dapper bowtie-wearing puss - he's heading for the shop too.
A Nymolle-a-like plate - wish it was the real deal but still, it's rather lovely. I might put this in Iris's room, she already has a black and white Fiep Westondorp plate on her wall so I think this would go rather nicely.
A little flock of brass sparrows.
Wow, look at this - isn't it beautiful? It's like a rubiks cube.
Pair of Moomin Paperbacks, for the library of the future.
Two pieces of this groovy greeny fabric.
And this amazing apple and pear adorned hand towel. I wish I had metres and metres of this fabric - wouldn't it make a super-sweet beach cover-up?
So quite a lot? Or not as much as you'd expect? I have a few more bits but I'll do those later...

Wow you got some great things too Nath. There is so much stuff to buy isn't there? I get quite overwhelmed with it all and become dizzy! LOVE your handtowel fabric too!
Nath you are treasure hunter supreme! Well done for finding such great stuff.
I have been enjoying my parcel all weekend and had to post about it. After all I thought that it was only right that I share. It has made me smile all weekend and it was such a sweet surprise. Thank you x
I love your latest finds...but what astonishing co-incident, I have the exact same brass apple & pear! I still cant quite believe it, they must have been popular at some time. They go really golden after a polish with some brasso. We must have very same taste i reckon!
by the way, I love that fabric with the apples on it!!!
Looks like a pretty amazing haul to me!
What wonderful finds! I think Flea Markets are brilliant.

Fantastic finds! I am coveting your sparrows.
Wow! I love that little plate and the egg cups. I don't know how flea-marketing usually goes, but I would be delighted with all this loveliness!

Lovin those darling egg cups and Moomin books never fail to make me happy!
