As the crystal turns...

What can I say? It's early morning and my title sounded good to me, I thought it was a tad funny as well. I've been meaning to post pictures as you can see for a while now. However today I'm simply posting and pictures are coming soon. The other night I visited a wonderful old antique market here in Indy that is more on the artsy side, it is held in an old warehouse on the outskirts of downtown. I've always seen it from the freeway and wanted to go, so finally I did, all by my lonesome. No worries though, even by myself it was a lovely trip.

There were two floors worth of different booths containing everything you can imagine. For the most part the prices were above what I could afford or would want to spend currently. However some things were on sale or just the right price. Later on I do hope to splurge a bit, there was a display full of wonderful vintage aprons. However I settled for picking up four yards of pink gingham for $3.50, I was definitely happy to take that off their hands, lol. I came away with a gorgeous green genie style glass decanter with stopper for $6, can't wait to post a pic of it. Also I picked up a lovely old dish towel that is white with a gold edging about an inch or two thick at the bottom, very pretty in its' simplicity and subdued coloring. There was a very pretty cream colored oval serving dish made of china with a pretty pink flower theme to it, it has a crack in it but it's gorgeous all the same.

That's all I can remember from that trip, there were some lovely furniture pieces there as well as iron flower boxes that I like to think were to die for. And of course my week would not be complete without at least one if not multiple trips to my Goodwill. And last night was a wonderful find, a gorgeous pink pillowcase of pink and purple flowers, I'm thinking it will look perfect in moderation next to the gingham for an apron, especially with some rick rack thrown in. Also a lovely cream ceramic candle holder that had just the right amount of flirty edges for my dining room, and a lovely two foot tall metal calendabra that will definitely need a transforming coat of spray paint. Although I'm still a bit undecided on the color, I'm thinking to start with a creamy white with an emphasis on the cream part. Well folks that's all for now!
