Sue Scores at Flea Market!!!!

1890's ink bottles,sea glass colored
(out of focus:<):my Flea Find!

I had lots of fun at the Kane County Flea Market on Saturday.....some things I bought included artist's bags of lace,and postage stamps,Bingo pieces and other doodads. I added to my growing collection of sea glass colored old ink wells...BUT,my BIG find was these pocket watch faces!!!Whoo-hooo!the guy really cut me a deal,throwing in 10 free ones! So many of my art journal friends will be getting one on their journal pages!Many of these come from Elgin,Illinois,where I grew up,so that's kind of cool...most are porceline.I was thrilled with this find!

  1. hello Sue,

    wow, what a great finds ! It's been a long time since I found such treasures on a fleamarket :(
    Maybe I should come over to a fleamarket at yours ! :)

    I have a lot of different inkbottles too , but not such one like yours. I have them displayed in my creative room as a fun decorative item to watch and enjoy.
    The pocket watch faces are real treasures. I think it will be hard to use them !

    greetings from belgium

  4. I'm so jealous of all the watch faces you got. So cool to make them the backing of collaged jewelry.
