Friday Favorites: Flea Market Finds

It is Paris Flea Market time again at Bellagio Interiors in Lake Oswego, Oregon!  The Panther loves a good flea market.  Today and tomorrow at Bellagio there are hundreds of fabulous flea market finds.  There are tapestries, vintage table linens, chandeliers, candelabras, antique candlesticks, knick-knacks, architectural elements, vintage clothing, and so much more.  Check out some of these awesome finds the panther has her eyes on at Bellagio's Paris Flea Market this weekend.

Vintage carved marble and alabaster lamps

An interesting, well made lamp is always a good find, and these lamps are spectacular!  These classic carved lamps can fit into any decor.  Traditional?...add a black tapered shade for a stately, timeless look.  More contemporary?...top one of these lamps with a funky drum shade for a fun juxtaposition of looks.

Flower Pots

Remember the Panther's blog post about making over boring flower pots?

These pots are just waiting for someone's imagination and a coat or two of paint to transform them into something one-of-a-kind and spectacular!

crystal-drop candelabra

This piece is simply fabulous!  So feminine and fun, this vintage candelabra would look amazing in

a bedroom, dining room, powder room...anywhere! 

Imagine glamming this up even more with mini clip shades on the lights.  Stunning!

Interesting Old Frames

The Panther is always on the prowl for these!  So much can be done with empty frames...

Fill them with your own art or have mirror cut for the frame.  Leave them empty and hang an assortment of them on a wall or stairwell.  Or fill with a cork board or chalk board.  Do you remember the crafty cat's blog about making your own chalkboard?  Check it out.

Etched Glass Decanter with Spigot

The panther is drooling over this find!  This lovely glass decanter has the word 'Paris" etched on it.  Perfect for your next party!  How lovely would this piece be filled with ice water and floating lemon slices!  Or fill it with the beverage of your choice.  Gorgeous!

Vintage Fur Coat

How darling is this little number!  Feel like a Parisian woman as you stroll the streets of Portland in this fabulous vintage fur coat with mink trim.  Whether with your little black dress for a night on the town or simply with jeans and stilettos for a shopping excursion, this coat is adorable!
