the red floral tray.

Winners of our finders-keepers game #2

This game is so much fun!!!

We had six vintage objects this time. The object of the game . . .
if you find the item (listed on the blog a day or two before
the event) - you get to keep it!! :)

I am happy to say that all the items were found and now
have wonderful new homes!!! It is so much fun to see how happy
everyone is when they find something . . . it still makes me smile . . .
even now when writing this post . . .

I absolutely love this game!! :)

Finders Keepers #2

The finders keepers game is fun and easy . . .

• review the blog a day or two before each market to see what items are in the game . . . (sometimes I do this the night before!)
  

• find the item in one of the vendor's booths . . .
  

• it will say "Found" on the tag and will not have a price . . .

• bring it to the cashier at the main entrance . . . we will verify it, take your picture for an upcoming blog post on all the winners . . .

• and then the best part . . . you get to keep it!!!! :)

The Finders Keepers items for the Seabold Vintage Market Fall-Flea 2009 are as follows . . .

from left . . . old metal "in-basket", leather "le jockey club" paris binoculars (one of my very first personal finds ever), wooden butter press, ironstone butter-pat, metal flower frog, and old cream jar . . .

good luck . . . have fun!!!!

then it was so much fun to see people find them . . . adults playing
a game like we did when we were kids . . . how fun is that!!!
