Flea Market Finds No. 3

This is an old kitchen scale from the 1950's made by the Swiss firm, Lyssex. It's still in a perfect condition, unlike some of those being sold on the internet. It weighs up to 2 kg and is accurate to the last gram. It definitely adds some vintage charm to our kitchen decor and gives me a nice warm feeling that something precious has been saved again.

Flea Market Finds No. 2

Where did I get the junking bug from? Have a peek into my Mum's cupboard. That's where the answer lies. She is a real flea market, thrift store and sale junkie who religiously gets up at 5.30am every Saturday to start treasure hunting from pole position. In addition, she has a fine taste and a well-trained eye to find items with character in the heaps of junk. One of her favorite collectibles is chinaware. Aren't they lovely?

Flea Market Finds

I love flea markets, never left any with my hand empty. This time, I found a lovely ceramic jam jar with a matching oil dispenser and an oil and vinegar cruet set decorated with bright ethnic patterns (made by Villeroy & Boch). My absolute favorite though is the vintage metal enamel lunch box that can hold only a tiny portion of soup or main dish.
