Although the weekend started slow with a poor thrift Friday, it picked up on Saturday and it finished fantastically on Sunday at the Flea Market. I found so much inventory that my living room is stuffed full of boxes, bags and furniture.
Above is my oldest Coleman find ever. This is a 418b triple burner Coleman Stove and I'm pretty sure it's from 1940. I haven't had a chance to research it properly. Do any of you Coleman experts know the approximate value of this?
At the Flea on Sunday, I found this lovely Coleman stove 415d with a stand. Isn't it the sweetest? Now I just need a vintage canvas tent and we're ready to go camping.
I'm usually not a tree limb/stick furniture type of girl but something about this table intrigued me.
I have so much inventory to process at the moment. I have ebay listings to write and Alameda Flea Market and Antique Society inventory to price. The first couple of weeks after school starts are always so packed. I always feel that I'll fall back into a nice leisurely work schedule. What am I thinking? I have 3 months of work to catch up on. Does that sound familiar. Eventually I'll get back into my routine but for now I'm really just chasing my tail. Thankfully I'm having fun which is part of the point in doing a job that I'm passionate about.
Did you go thrifting this weekend?

I know what you mean about being behind...doesn't help that this is such a great end-of-summer thrifting season! I found such great cheap stuff at the Junktique that it was almost BETTER than thrifting -- because it had already been picked -- so I thought I'd share; 'hope that's okay. I don't think Sophie's been doing Flea Market Finds lately, due to her loss. :(

I hear you - I'm desperately trying to get caught up. Maybe if I'd stop bringing in more junk I'd have an easier time of it!

it's funny how fall kind of creeps up on you. love that table, but i have no idea about the coleman stuff. it's pretty cool that it has a stand. it feels like i've been away from thrift share monday for a while so it's good to be back here too!

I love that table-it would be so great on a front porch with pumpkins and leaves on it.

Great finds this weekend - home made storage drawers filled with such a great collection of metal stuff that always comes in handy sometime.

I wouldn't normally be a branch table kind of girl either, but that one is very cool.

I love the twig table and the Coleman stove. Did you find out the value?
When our power goes out we pull out our old Coleman stove that was my parents. It really has been a great thing to have around in an emergency.
