Burley Park Flea Market Part 3

It's been so long since I have posted. There were some really cool items that were at the flea market that I didn't buy! 






I have an obsession with clocks, I couldn't buy this one though, I already have a couple like this one.





A cool UFO pull down lamp. I have always wanted one, but this one was priced a little high.






So the lucite swag lamp is cool enough, but check out that table... A guitar pick shape? I should have bought it, I want two matching ones though. Watch me never see another again.






If there were two of these shades I would have scooped them up in a heartbeat, I need a couple for my "new" lamps!







An amazing corningware coffee pot, I love the starburst pattern. It was a little pricey but again I should have scooped it up. 







Yes... Another clock, I have never seen one like this. But again the price... A whopping $23 was a little high especially with a chip in it. 


Today, I visited the local thrift shops and guess what I found? Next post it will be revealed. Amazing deal... Amazing piece of FURNITURE.

Burley Park Flea Market Part 2

I still wish I would have found some great furniture, but the small items I got were pretty much steals. I think so anyways. I have very interesting taste.





I bought this cool little planter, it was on a half off table. I'm not exactly sure what kind of pottery it is, but it does say 1968 on the bottom! 





I also bought this pot, it was cheap, and I have the thing for this swirly pattern....





Yep, I have a thing for that swirly pattern. 





I also bought this olive/relish tray. It had the original box, which is always a good thing and a selling point for me. It has a wooden base with the original tag on it. I doubt this has ever been used. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this piece or not.










This was hands down my favorite find. Of course I will get some different pots for it, it's very cool looking. I had many compliments on it as I was carrying it through the flea market. 


Part 3 will feature a few more items I thought were awesome, but of course I think conservatively!

Burley Park Flea Market Part 1

This flea market is the flea market that I wait for throughout the year. They have it on Memorial Day and then on Labor Day. I believe there may be one in October too. It's the largest I have ever been to. I found a few smalls today, not a huge selection of MCM sadly. I will just post some of the items I saw for right now. 




 
A very cool old salon chair.




 
Next up, Fiesta. There was even more next to me in a walk in trailer with tons and tons of shelves. I love Fiesta.




They had interesting pieces I had never even seen before, like this three tier server.




They even sported Halloween themed Fiesta! Which again I had never seen, and I'm a Fiesta enthusiast.





From Fiesta to Tupperware, there were two stalls in the flea market devoted entirely to Tupperware, this one being the SMALLER one. I never knew Tupperware released so many different tubs and utensils and gadgets.








This was at a different stall, I walked away from it at first, and then I had to have it and went back for it. I may have a thing for Tupperware ;).




Pyrex!! Oh wow, there was an abundance of Pyrex, a lot of Fire King as well, but I'm more partial to Pyrex. The prices were of course dealer prices. I didn't buy any. I'm truly looking for the Primary Colors set. Although I did pick up some Butterfly Gold the other day because it was a steal and would come in handy. 




The set that I covet! It was quite worn though and for the price I wasn't willing to pay that.
















It's sad that I can name all of the patterns of Pyrex. That would be thanks to a blog I read! 


I didn't end up spending that much, but I think I found some pretty cool Mid Century items. Part 2 I will share my finds and some other items I saw and found cool!
