I love all of your great finds. The zinc pitcher filled with flowers from your garden looks beautiful.What a great price for your beautiful bain-marie. You had a great day...Kathy
ReplyDeleteThose were really great finds - and that's what keeps us all heading back to the flea markets. I'd give anything to be living in Europe again and visiting all the Sunday markets. Take me with you!
ReplyDeleteThat bain-marie is such a find! Well done...

Thanks for stopping by Popcorn. I brought my buffet inside to really get the feel of it and I will be painting and staining very soon. Stay tuned.
Take care,
