[@craftersalleybyheatherc]

16:07 I kid you not, I was just thinking the fairies reminded me of The Dark Crystal! Beautiful book!

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Heather! I know, right? I didn't know the creator of the images in the book was the same person who did the dolls for the Dark Crystal... and Yoda! What a find! Thanks for popping by so I could share these fun flea market finds with you! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@cynthiahamblin-perry5880]

wow love all your treasures! you get some great things at the flea market. we only have one flea market an hour away and it is always crowded with vacationers and is very expensive. how wonderful you have such a resource. I remember those stitching direction booklets from when I was a kid in the early 60s. My mother taught me all those stitches. Memories... thanks for sharing.

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Cynthia! Awe... thank you for sharing your memories of these old stitch pamphlets! So sweet to remember your mom teaching them to you.Yeppers... we've got a good flea market near by. There is a larger one up in Brimfield but we haven't been to that one yet. I hear it's a lot of expensive antiques. I love the vendors who are NOT dealers and are folks just looking to clear out a bunch of junk from their home. Chuckle... that's where I get the best deals. Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@janetnash]

Oh what a find the vintage wrapping paper. I was thinking that looks like a Victoria and Albert Museum collection ❤

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Janet! Yeppers... the vintage paper was a fun find, indeed! Looking forward to creating some journal papers with them! Thanks for popping by today! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🫧

Howdy, LeAnne! I know, right? The KEWPIE is simply adorable! Love love love. Just had to give him a home. Thanks for popping by today! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🫧🫧🫧

[@lindascreativelife]

What a fun flea market haul. I love to see the gorgeous things you find. I collect crystals and I love the mushroom so much. I am trying to get back to being able to watch and comment on videos. Big Hugs!

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Linda! So happy to see you! Thanks for popping by so I could share these fun flea market finds with you. And thanks for sharing that you collect crystals! They are so beautiful! And they are so interesting to study, too. ! HUGs back atcha! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@estee-mariearts4548]

Beautiful treasures. ((Tip) If you roll or brush Matte Clear Gesso on the shiny paper it will help cut the glare and you can glue papers to it.)

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Esta! Thank you for the tip! Much appreciated. Hmmm... matte clear gesso... I'll have to check that out! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🫧🫧🫧

[@dennyholmquist722]

Love all the books! I have a copy of The Language of Flowers with the slipcase that has been in the family many years. It's still in perfect condition. Thanks for the reminder. My mother was so very fond of Lily of the Valley and she always had some in her gardens over the years. The artwork is stunning. The Impressionist Stationery Box is lovely and I will be interested to see how you will use it. You certainly had a productive day at the Sunday flea market!

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Denny! Thank you for sharing about your family Language of Flowers book... how lovely that multiple generations can enjoy it! Lily of the Valley has always been one of my favs, too! My grandma always had some in her gardens. I haven't planted any here at Soggy Bottom.... yet! I did have some along the stone wall at our place down there in PA. Looking forward to journaling with today's flea market finds! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@MossCottageMarket]

Patty you got some amazing things. I love the kewpie doll. I'm an antiques dealer and if you want to clean it up my suggestion is to use a barely we Magic eraser. They work great on bisque!

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Helen! Thank you so much for the cleaning tip! I know I have to be delicate with her. I'm just happy I could give her a home so she's not carried about in that dealer's showcase case with all the old watches and coins any longer. Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@dokidokiforest]

Good morning Possum Patty! 🧚‍♀💕✨ Yay I love seeing what goodies you find at the flea market! Gorgeous Flowers book, as you mentioned the illustrations are beautiful. Looking forward to see what you do with the stationery box - the little drawer is so cute. And a potential secret compartment? How fun! Oooooohhhh that fairy book is INcredible! I already had to pause the video to go check and see if I could find a used copy of it! 🤣 I have some Brian Froud fairy books but nothing by Wendy Froud. LOVE the gelfling look of these fairies. SO cool. LOVE that mushroom stone. 😍🍄 I had visited a local crystal/stone shop and they had stone mushrooms, but the stem was cut in a way that they couldn’t stand up so I passed on buying one. The one you found is awesome! I’m glad you picked up the Kewpie doll since you’d had your eye on it and you just never know if/when you might find it again. GREAT treasures all around! Loved it all. So great to spend time with you. Hope you are doing well and big hugs from doki doki forest to all the folks at Soggy Bottom! 💚🌳🐸🐶🍄🐉🦄

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy and Good Morning, Amy and all in the doki doki forest! So happy you popped by so I could share some fun flea market finds with you. Yeppers... the books are lovely! I didn't realize at first that Wendy was also the creator of the gelflings from the Dark Crystal. Of course, I saw the book on a vendor's table for 2 bucks and snatched it up quickly! Chuckle. I glad I did! The Impressionist stationary box will be a fun project to do down the road... I'll think on it for awhile... no rush. I really NEED to stay away from vendors that sell crystals and gems... way too tempting. But, yes, I'm so happy I brought Little Kewpie home. I was hoping to find that vendor again! He's a regular, so I believed there was a good chance of that happening... and I had it in my mind to bring her home. HUGs from all here at Soggy Bottom! Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@lalagamma4452]

I love the kewpie! I had one as a child, but never seen them with wings though. TFS!🐞🐞🐞

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Lala! Awe... thank you for sharing that you had a Kewpie Doll! They're so sweet, aren't they? I read that the original Kewpies were just butt naked and had small blue wings due to their Cupid heritage. I'll learn more! Stay Groovy! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🌈🌈🌈

[@lalagamma4452]

Patty I'm blessed to learn so many fascinating things from your wealth of knowledge!! Namesta my sweet friend 🐞🦢🐞🦙🍄

Howdy and Welcome, Little Newt! (Love your name.) I'm so happy you are here. I really appreciate your friendly company and kind words. Looking forward to getting to know you through our little chats here in comments. Have a Creative Week! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo⭐💛⭐

[@humblethriftcrafter9870]

Those papers from the gift wrap to the stationary! They are gorgeous! Is your flea market every Sunday? We have only twice a year here but there is Trail of Treasures or Junk stock near where we live.

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy and Welcome! So happy you are here! Yeppers... our local flea market is every Sunday from around late April to early November. Most Sundays there's a pretty good crowd of both vendors and buyers. I stock up and journal all winter with my finds! Thank you for sharing about your Trail of Treasures... sounds marvelous! Happy Bargain Hunting! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🫧🫧🫧

[@humblethriftcrafter9870]

@@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty that's great to have a flea market every Sunday. I would not be able to stay away.
