Latest Score: Vintage faux bamboo mirror

So if you follow me on Facebook, you already know that I spent Saturday morning doing one of my favorite things - perusing every aisle of goodies at the Raleigh Flea Market. I wasn't really looking for anything which of course is when you find all the best stuff right? Like my latest favorite mirror - this vintage, gilded faux bamboo number.


The tag stuck on it said $20. I somehow managed to keep a straight face as I talked the dealer down to $15. He agreed and I ran away with it cackling like a crazy person.

I walked in the door with it and got the same reaction from Mr. H+F that I always get when I return from the flea market...y'know that "why do you keep bringing more junk home?" look. I have no idea where it will go but for $15 I couldn't leave it behind right?! RIGHT??! It's a great size too, 32" x 25". Maybe I'll try it at different places around the house and post back here for your opinion.

p.s. I also picked up these adorable vintage brass and crystal lamps. Except they had sadly lost most of their crystal mojo. Nothing a quick visit to eBay can't fix though. I don't have a spot for them so look for them in the Etsy shop (which is looking pretty sad inventory wise these days...working on it!) later this month.
