Flea Market Finds
Sometimes you don't find things........ they find you*
It's sorta like fate
Like it was meant to be.
I received a phone call from a friend,
Who wanted to pass on some treasures
How could I possibly resist???
Visit Sophie for more of todays Flea Market Finds....
* I'm quite intrigued by the reels of cotton - they're all in a very similar colour palette, and I would love to know what they were originally intended to be used for.
