Sunday finds at the flea market:

30" life preserver, 3 Toby mugs, large lantern, and huge glass float! (for size reference, that is a quarter placed on the net, center of float!)

Hey Pup, did you get those at the LB Flea market? I went Sunday and saw those giant floats $120!!!! I hope you talked them down.

I found a hanging rattan chair with stand $40.00 (down from $75.00-end of day-he didn't want to drag it home) Not in the best shape and had been painted dark brown. I planned on painting my existing one a dark brown as it is outside and the paint would help protect it from the weather. So I'll paint them both and the better one will go in my living room with the stand. The dark brown will go with my dark Witco and rattan couch.
I also scored a real leopard fur purse $13.00 I don't think she knew it was real, but I know my furs, plus it's illegal to sell real leopard. (Yea, yea, I know it's not PC but I have other real vintage exotic pieces from long before I was here!) and a sweet leopard print jacket. Found some good deals on large shells for my almost life size mermaid I scored at an estate sale. She was in real bad shape but I used left over spray paint and she's beautiful now. I'll post pics soon!

PUP,If you were there did you see the tornado? I kid you not, my friend said, "look at all the swirling trash" so I turned around to see about 5 large handled shopping bags and a bunch of peanuts swirling around in the sky. It touched down and picked up a venders easy-up a few feet, put it back crooked and swirled off with some more bags! One of the strangest things I've ever seen, people were talking about it the rest of the day.
