A PMP (Pee my pants) find!!

Hiya Blogland from beautiful 79 degree Maryland!!! Spring has SPRUNG these last few days. My crocus are FINALLY blooming! They are about 3-4 weeks behind!

This is on my front porch on an old bucket bench. Yes, I have a goose I dress up for the holidays/seasons and I am not ashamed of it!!

I had to stop by the Weis grocery on the way home from work today---and it's only a hop skip and jump from an indoor flea market. You really have to dig thru the crap but there are diamonds to be had for CHEAP!!  I found this darling vintage Scottish figurine (I'm Scottish by heritage)
                  
Cute orphaned pig salt shaker. I don't collect S&P's but he just appealed to my sense of whimsy!

Vintage toaster cover. This was a popular "homemaker craft" in the 40's-70's. I already have an Aunt Jemima toaster cover. They now sit together in my kitchen! i call them Bertha & Beulah.
Here's a close-up. I love the fabrics in the patchwork skirt. I'm thinking of drawing up my own pattern and making another one.

Here is my PMP find!!! This was in a pile of nasty pictures and frames on the floor in one booth for $1!!!! It's a 20's or 30's era vanity tray. Look at the AWESOME steep roof cottage!!! I LOVE the colors!!!

Close-up of the tray. The picture is actually kind of textured. I put this in the guest room displayed on a plate easel.
 

I plan on doing some serious garden maintenance stuff tomorrow. Time to get all the dead out!
Y'all have a great weekend!!
