Treasures from Tipton for White Wednesday

I promised to show you my treasures from Tipton
for White Wednesday and I hope you enjoy them.
I didn't purchase a lot, but what I did purchase
I love.

A french cup and saucer for a great price and yes it is
actually made in France . I didn't realize it until I got
home , but it is Pillivuyt brand and I was tickled to see
that on the bottom. I have several other pieces made by
this company and they are outstanding quality.
Heavy porcelain...thank God because ole' clutz Sandi
dropped it on the kitchen floor before I even had it out
of the bag. Thankfully it is still all intact!

This ruffled linen bag was my very first purchase made by Donna herself.

love!

I purchased the very last one she had! She did get a couple more all finished and out for sale
by the time I left for home. She is a whirlwind of a lady!!

The beautiful flower really adds to this gorgeous bag!

These two postcards were a fun find. One was
even mailed to Paris, France and the handwriting
is beautiful.

I just had to show you these beautiful Paris soaps
too. These did not come from the flea, but I thought
they were appropriate. I found them at TJ Maxx
while I was in Indiana.

I did get a couple more small items that I will show
you at a later date. All in all it was a very
splendid day and one worth repeating every year!

By now you know the drill...visit Kathleen over at
Faded Charm for more white goodness!

{If you haven't already checked out my previous two
posts about the french flea market be sure and do so}

Hortons of Tipton French Flea Market Part 2

Here we go~
Round two of Hortons at Tipton French Flea!

I think I took as many photos inside as I did outside the
store. Although I will say in looking at photos on other
blogs, I think I missed some booths and I haven't a clue
how I did that. Either I was in la-la land or I was just in photo
taking mode and missed them that way! :(

I purchased some of the french bread and herb
butter and it was delish!!

I have always thought it would be neat to ride a bike
to town and get fresh flowers like they seem to be
able to do in Paris.
{Yes I live in a dream world. lol.}
Would have loved to purchase some of the fresh flowers
here for sale, but after we left here we were headed to my
sons for a couple days and they would never have made
it home safely.

Lovely treats! They also had amazing fudge.
Thank you Donna...the peanut butter fudge is
delicious! I am trying to be good and eat one little
slice at a time. :)

All these next photos and the one above are ones in the
store display that was just gorgeous!

Donna sure

does a fabulous job of putting it alltogether!

LOVE these curtains, but they just aren't in my budget and don't know if they ever will be. :)

beautiful display after beautiful display!

I don't know about you, but I have never been in a
hardware store that looks like this!

I have a pillow like the one in the middle. Love it.

french style goodies everywhere you look

Thought these cement balls were neat.

Even more beauty

The photo above and the one below is from a booth
that was set up inside the store. I purchased two vintage
postcards from this booth.
{Portobello Road}

Tomorrow for White Wednesday I will show you what I purchased. I didn't buy a lot, but I did get some nice items. Loved every minute of it and when I look at other photos on other blogs, I want to go right back.

Happy Tuesday!
