better late than never.

cute, bright, felt wall hanging...

..with an adorable plastic ladybug

really neat clip board

a small box and a medium sized box.

this will be a good container for pen nibs

nice broken-in belt with (uneven) hand tooling.

the buckle i will wear with it was made by local artist Mariele Ivy, and purchased at The Perish Trust

perfect!

a little owl

a coil of wire. this was found on the ground outside of the flea..
a serendipitous find, as i have been looking for a small length of coated wire for a project

2.5.12

i don't think these are particularly scarce or rare, but neat nonetheless

some small (meat?) hooks. definitely too small to be hay hooks

the smaller of the two has an inscription of some kind

a knob. second option to replace the passenger side window crank in my car

a wooden level. "antelope" brand, made in japan

1.29.12

some wood/lino cut tools

a hand clip! this is hanging on the wall above my work area, holding my goals in front of me

hopefully, this will be the handle for the passenger-side window of my car

got this a few weeks ago, but it immediately went on my key chain so it didn't get photographed

1.22.12

awesome stamp set. only missing some punctuation and mathematical symbols.
small sticker says: "Superior Sign Marker No. 920 made in USA by S.M.E.CO."

my favorite one is the pointing hand

a large, heavy lens

the lens in action

giant box o' buttons

jumbo make

bone buttons

bone buttons close-up. notice the coarse grain (click the photo to enlarge)

not a flea find (ebay), but this (i was told) is elephant ivory.

notice how fine the grain is

also, some rain boots. a steal at $5

01.15.12

very solid frames

weird dial on the back of one of the frames. didn't do anything, it's just there.

a series of photos

1970 edition

i got this to cut up, but it feels too good in my hands

an album full of horse photos!

photo from the album

First flea of the new year!

just out for a casual trail ride, wearing a bowler and a suit

small photo. approx 2"x1.5"

back reads: "Joanna Doualuce at Mather"
stamped Oakland Photo Service Sep 2 1937

snowy trees. i liked the contrast.

small photo. approx 2"x1.5"

he's walking the cat. caption on back reads: "Summer '62?"

caster wheels. 5 wooden, 3 metal (aluminum or steel)

50 foot linen tape measure. not in the best of shape.

a few yards of fabric

nice box. softest, smoothest polished sides.
sides that are finger jointed were part of a box to a telescope (there's a partial sticker inside)
bottom and top are from two different produce boxes.

i got a shoebox full of buttons and temporarily transferred them to this box.

the ugliest of the buttons. for sale in my Etsy shop.
