Flea Market finds/Sept. Class schedule

Greetings everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I spent the entire weekend in found object bliss. On Saturday I went to a great place in San Francisco called Scraps. Its a scroungers creative reuse center and sheer heaven! The center takes in all kind of donations of "stuff" and they resell it at very affordable prices. Its a great place for teachers to buy for the classroom. On my way there I garage sailed all the way up the coast. On Sunday it was time for a visit to the Alemany Flea Market also in San Francisco. Here are some of my finds:

And that's just some of the stuff I found! Ok I'll admit that I did get a little carried away. And I'd do it again in a minute!
