Flea Market Time - June

Flea Market Time: June Treasures and Sunny Finds

Welcome back to another installment of Flea Market Time! If you've been following along, you know there's nothing I love more than a weekend spent hunting for hidden gems. This June, the weather was absolutely perfect, and I'm thrilled to report that—unlike my last outing—I came home with bags full of wonderful finds.

As always, it was a family affair. I spent the day enjoying the sunshine with my husband and daughter. My daughter had a slightly different mission this time, though; she was busy volunteering for the event organizers, the Germantown Historical Society. It's always great to see the community coming together to keep local history alive!


My Favorite June Finds

Vintage-Style Blue Mason Jars 

One of the highlights of my haul was a set of three 7" blue Mason jars. They have that classic, rustic charm with lids that look authentically weathered and old. While the glass itself feels a bit newer, I couldn't resist that striking blue hue. Whether they are true antiques or clever reproductions, at $7 for the set of three, it was an absolute steal for my home decor.


The Mystery Accordion Rack 

Sometimes the best part of a flea market is the "what is that?" factor. At first sight, I wasn't quite sure what this next item was. However, once I saw the expandable wooden pegs, I fell in love with the design. It's a classic accordion-style wall rack! 

When the vendor told me the price was only $0.25, I didn't even have to think twice—it was coming home with me.


The $1 Table Score 

The next stop was at a booth with every picker's favorite sign: "Anything on this table: $1." I had to move fast, but I managed to snag a charming wooden train car. It's sturdy, nostalgic, and was the perfect final addition to my June collection.

The next items were from a vendor that had a "anything on the table $1" sale. 

I quickly packed this wooden train car.

I love the red sign on it.


Burlap Beauty: Budget-Friendly Textiles

I also managed to snag a burlap rice sack that will be perfect as a pillow cover for the guest room. I've had a photo on my inspiration board for ages featuring pillows with this exact rustic design. 


The best part? 

It already has a zipper, so it just needs a pillow form—it couldn't be easier!

From another vendor, I picked up a second burlap sack (picture below) for just $2

Charming Decor & Garden Accents

  • Vintage Glass Bottle ($1): To keep my collection growing, I grabbed a glass bottle with a unique little faucet feature. 


It's already found a home on the powder room shelves.


  • Rustic Watering Can ($4): Originally marked $8, I chatted with the owner about its condition and walked away with it for half price! 

I can already see it adorning my potting benches.

  • Colorful Candelabra ($4): I love the lines and colors on this piece, though I'll admit the jingling bells are a bit much every time I move it! I'm still searching for the perfect spot for this one.

Lighting the Way: Sconces and Pendants

It seems my "decorative lighting" switch was flipped on this trip because I found some incredible fixtures!

  • Backyard Sconces ($1 each): A set of wooden sconces for the backyard... assuming it ever gets finished! 😌


  • Geometric Sconces ($10): I couldn't pass up the diamond-and-circle patterns on these. 


For ten dollars, I’m happy to tuck them away until the perfect spot reveals itself.

  • The Mystery Pendant Light ($13): This was my biggest "flea market win." It was originally $50, but thanks to a 75% discount, it was mine for $13.     

I need your help with this one! I’ve tried a Google Image search but came up empty. 

Do you recognize this fixture style? 

If you know what kind of light this is, please let me know in the comments! (And yes, I already know exactly where I'm installing it. 😀


The Final Tally

All in all, we spent $45 for the entire day. For a car full of treasures and a beautiful day with the family, that is a win in my book!

Many of these June finds have already been put to work. You can see how I used them to decorate the guest room right HERE.

  3. Ha, thanks for the link Linda! It looks like I have 2 with the Logo 5 and one with the Logo 6. That's totally awesome, I thought they were fake!

    Find one of your nearest flea markets, their prices are usually better than the ones at thrift stores. Well, you have to check by yourself because it varies from town to town, but of course give it try!

  9. Thanks Julie! I just did an online search and yeah, you're totally right! I'd never thought of using it to store mugs, if only I had some extra space in my kitchen! :(
    I might have to use it somewhere else.
