We here at Flea Market Floozie love all things old, retro and vintage. We love to craft with old treasures, search for them, and sell them. If you have a love of bi-gone era's, and a time when things were simple, then this is the place for you. Welcome!

Vanity Fair!
Why does life seem to be so busy when it is susposed to be summer vacation season......sorry it has taken me so long to post.
Well, I have a project I am working on (my latest Flea Market find) and I thought I would post pictures and tell you a bit about it. We are going to call this post the BEFORE post so you can see what this looked like when I purchased it. Next week I will post the AFTER picture. :)
I was browsing through some great booths recently, but sadly nothing was jumping out at me. I was starting to get quite discouraged, when I saw this vintage wooden vanity top. I fell in love as soon as I saw it. I knew it was not a beautiful sight, but I knew (and I saw) what it would become. It was painted 3 diffrent colors and I thought that the colors of deep dark chesnut, cream, and aqua blue would look smashing under my signature hand mixed paint color of Blush Beauty (which is the lightest shade of pink that I know of) It has a center section that opens and has an oval mirror and the sides open as well. Just think of the treasures you could store in this. I imagine the middle hinged door to be papered with a darling vintage wallpaper print, the mirror to be decorated and adroned with roses, millinery findings, leaves, crepe and ribbons. I am so excited for this project.
The asking price was $20.00, but I am happy to say I talked them down to $15.00!
Thanks for stopping by and I will post the AFTER pictures as soon as it is finished.
Happy Flea Market Shopping,
