I know I've mentioned A Paris Street Market before. It's a fabulous little flea market with amazing stuff to find and some great handmade goods.
Above are some of the purchases we made last weekend. On the left are a pair of suitcases that I picked up for $19. Most vintage suitcases were going for at least $20 and these were effectively $9.50 a piece!! These babies need some work and I want to paint them (though Matt insists he figure out if they're worth anything before I touch them). But I liked their shapes and I think I can do good work with them.
The case on the right is … well I don't know, but I think it will make a great scrapbooking case. It's got all those cool pockets for tools and pens and stuff that you see and below the bottom set, there's a large compartment that would be good for paper, pages, stickers, etc. I'm planning to fix it up and paint it a bit too. It was $20 in case you're wondering.
We also got a pair of (fugly) end tables for $15. As I said, they're fugly, but we can definitely sand, paint and add new hardware and legs and make them something decent until we get real night-tables in our bedroom.
It was the last weekend for the market and I'm really going to miss it. But I can take great solace in the fact that I have TONS of projects to complete before it's back again. Happy crafting.
Sounds like a great find.
