Flea Market Finds

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

This past weekend I went to Milnerton Market for the first time in probably four or five months and man was it good to be back. When Andrew and I first moved to Cape Town we had nothing except two suitcases each, full of our clothing and a few personal items. After we moved into our very empty house, Milnerton Market quickly became our favorite spot to find things for our home. We estimate that about 75% of our house is made up of Milnerton goods.  So here's what Sunday at Milnerton looked like...

And here is what came home with me from Milnerton this trip- a few vintage fabrics that I'm going to turn into pillows for our guest bedroom.
