It's never a good idea

to go shopping while plunged in the depths of winter blues. Know what I'm sayin'???

Everything was frosted (again) this morning ~ witness the vintage shears:

So the remedy (of course) was to hop in the car and hit the flea market.  While away the blues...

Such a good job was done that two items made the trip back home.   Doesn't sound like a lot but check 'em out ~ one very cool piano stool:

An awesome fit with my burgundy chair, don't you think??  (I'll probably recover the top in new green velvet)

But sit yourself right down for the second item ~ a magnificent vintage iron birdcage:

Look at all that swirly goodness & the iron flower on top.  ♥♥♥ 

I think there's even 50 year old bird poo in the bottom!  Ha ~ why doesn't that gross me out in the least???!!!!

It wasn't good for the checkbook, but it sure was good for the soul.  I can't wait to see the birdcage in the garden overflowing with blooms.  There's my happy girl again!   :-)

I am so glad you told me to check out your blog today because you found some amazing things at the flea market! I love everything, but as you figured, the birdhouse really made me smile! Great day of shopping!

That should keep those Winter blues away for a while longer!
Have a great day!

Oh I love that bird cage for the garden. What fun!

Nice! I'm picturing a plant in that bird cage. ;-) Maybe a mini Orchid, an African Violet, or a Cyclamen plant. I love the piano stool, too! Shopping is definitely good therapy.
