Flea Finds

Happy Monday, everyone. I got to hit the flea market on Friday with my blogging buddies from <a href="http://cha-gogo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Chateau A Gogo</a>, <a href="http://theinsanedomain.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Insane Domain</a> and <a href="http://modfrugal.com/" target="_blank">ModFruGal</a>, and as always, we found some goodies. One of the first things I saw and snagged was this vintage needlepoint . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkqTYJ05gWFXD_sh5EKusUeQ1ZsvAtRUUh4APuO453Lh5yTJv1CEp7FPFKjsycuvO8JgTnmdEztWlL648oEQfhRMu18rjOJJ54eO0dQAMRnXabWVKvLs5xTq6N_UT3BCd6qRzywLg1XY9/s1600/leopard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkqTYJ05gWFXD_sh5EKusUeQ1ZsvAtRUUh4APuO453Lh5yTJv1CEp7FPFKjsycuvO8JgTnmdEztWlL648oEQfhRMu18rjOJJ54eO0dQAMRnXabWVKvLs5xTq6N_UT3BCd6qRzywLg1XY9/s400/leopard.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyOKbumxV8G-5TUzemO4P7BwK1PNWKWFVnwfU3xz-G0ZQR8EY84_kz5a-9VwTcLj-RXxupON9pI9wdaTjO_-MFuYhyDyKKEeLJd3bVcykeqvsgn3qdLEgTSd8mTBHTM7Q_TVl-0zfwhNQ/s1600/close-up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyOKbumxV8G-5TUzemO4P7BwK1PNWKWFVnwfU3xz-G0ZQR8EY84_kz5a-9VwTcLj-RXxupON9pI9wdaTjO_-MFuYhyDyKKEeLJd3bVcykeqvsgn3qdLEgTSd8mTBHTM7Q_TVl-0zfwhNQ/s400/close-up.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Isn't he cute? I'm going a little crazy over leopard lately, so I couldn't pass him up. I don't where he'll live in my house yet, but I'm sure I can come up with something. If not, he may go up for sale, but either way he'll go to a good home. I immediately recognized him from the blogosphere. Anyone remember this photo?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/24488391694806458/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/upload/157555686934235947_OVBVLL3v_c.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">Source: <a href="http://www.theaestate.com/search?updated-max=2012-01-30T14:27:00-06:00&max-results=3&start=75&by-date=false" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;">theaestate.com</a> via <a href="http://pinterest.com/myinteriorlife/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">My Interior Life</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" style="color: #76838b; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/24488391694806455/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="831" src="http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/12596073927298890_xRlxb1G6_c.jpg" width="554" /></a></div><div style="float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">Source: <a href="http://theglitterguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Stanton-bar-cart-and-The-Darlington-Dining-chairGG.jpg" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;">theglitterguide.com</a> via <a href="http://pinterest.com/myinteriorlife/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">My Interior Life</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" style="color: #76838b; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></div></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My version is a little darker, but pretty sure he's the same kitty. Of course, the <a href="http://www.shopsocietysocial.com/products/the-sedgewick" target="_blank">Society Social</a> version has a much cuter bamboo frame, but that's easily fixable, right?<br /><br />Next, my friend Melissa (the Insane Domain) bought a gorgeous faux malachite lamp, which of course, I went nuts over (I'm a fool for malachite). Being the good friend she is, she let me buy it off of her. Here it is in the back of my car . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavjVuYhKVf-LoBZZjXyMYwsao1Amcl10TGhyphenhyphentb2rAbmPpdIbymJ8Zu3LQPApUMwPWoR-MBCVE52vDLpYvWezGwXIOyOpLoHB3KtL2hfqnUE-FopGCPpSvHuie2TVUauN20HJ7ASFC2iu6/s1600/lamp.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavjVuYhKVf-LoBZZjXyMYwsao1Amcl10TGhyphenhyphentb2rAbmPpdIbymJ8Zu3LQPApUMwPWoR-MBCVE52vDLpYvWezGwXIOyOpLoHB3KtL2hfqnUE-FopGCPpSvHuie2TVUauN20HJ7ASFC2iu6/s640/lamp.JPG" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">And, later, back at home . . . </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg691qzs6Te5K-VioYex1naluzXYCm9_pSbxI6c1C_MP3t4E9ze4Sq1AvzgJrjSvvAWB4KFspqz9pAHUxk4WohFscFE8A7OyjP4e9vgjY_Iebqcn6Rb_CIiz8KCNGg9P4e4LzH_oOh3ampv/s1600/black+shade.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg691qzs6Te5K-VioYex1naluzXYCm9_pSbxI6c1C_MP3t4E9ze4Sq1AvzgJrjSvvAWB4KFspqz9pAHUxk4WohFscFE8A7OyjP4e9vgjY_Iebqcn6Rb_CIiz8KCNGg9P4e4LzH_oOh3ampv/s640/black+shade.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love how it looks next to my pink chair. It pulls in the teal-y green from my pillows and other areas of the room. Thanks, Melissa!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh, and here's a sofa we were all dying over, but no one bought because let's face it, it's sometimes difficult to work a new/different sofa into your decor. And sofas aren't the easiest things to move, store, etc. But still . . . </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1o2-zNFW-2G9OsHhRx2rTLf71cULWAzi1SEPZPlheMFD-0zrBvhD-45mR1Kga-IbTNro-AAQCffW5fU2CtXhjpMeC07aexLnL3p0YtLq_3H2csblp27YSeW75Rstdr2Yxe5RCk02lfGI/s1600/sofa.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1o2-zNFW-2G9OsHhRx2rTLf71cULWAzi1SEPZPlheMFD-0zrBvhD-45mR1Kga-IbTNro-AAQCffW5fU2CtXhjpMeC07aexLnL3p0YtLq_3H2csblp27YSeW75Rstdr2Yxe5RCk02lfGI/s400/sofa.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is my Instagram photo.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">Oh, it was the yummiest golden velvet. The fabric was actually in great shape and not a bad color, but was faded in places. But, oh so soft. Like butt-ah. And only $100. Sigh. It was Broyhill from the 70's and had the original bill of sale tucked under one of the cushions. Now, that's unusual. You know it probably only had one owner. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Find any treasures lately?</div></div></div>
