FFM (Flea and Flower Market)

There is a lesson in one of the English books at school that talks about FFM (Fresh Food Market). I thought of using it for my title today but my FFM stands for Flea and Flower Markets because that's where I went this Sunday morning!
First the Flea Market.
I adored that blue vase. But for 60 euros I couldn't buy it.




 I also liked that little green glass tray.
 Those drawers would hold my seaglass in a fantastic way but I have no space for them.





 I loved that little girl reading from a paper figurine.
 I loved that little blue painted jar.



 I loved that vintage beaded purse.

 That was the only cheap thing I was tempted to buy.

 And in the end I bought nothing!
 Then we went to the Flower Market.




 I loved this.




 I bought this dark pink daisy.


And my son brought me a rose since it was Mother's Day. I loved it that he remembered it!

Our trip to the U.S.A. (16)- An antique store.

After Maynard's Greenhouse we moved to  The Trove, an antique store.
I really saw very beautiful things there but I couldn't buy anything as everything was fragile, heavy or big!What a pity!




  This is a children's metal tea set. Gorgeous!

 Carnival glass and depression glass.
 Greek antique dishes! I should have brought them home!
 A white soup bowl like the one I have. And those little commemorative dishes that I saw in many antique stores, loved, but didn't want to start a new collection with.
 I adored this one!

 No, thank you!
 Look at the wolf back there! And look at that tray on the floor. I recently found something like that on the curb but guess who didn't allow me to take it!Cry!


 Loved that painting!
 Eye candy all those glass cupboards filled with amazing glassware!


 Shocked to see the same little Murano handkerchief bowl that I have! I am glad I saw it cost here much more than the bargain price I got in Greece a couple of years ago! Still it's lovely!

 Murano fish, gorgeous!



 There were some art pieces by a lady but I forgot to ask more about them.


You can find The Trove on facebook here and on their page here too. It's really worthwhile visiting this place!
