A flea market find

If only my local flea markets looked like this! Nevertheless, I love to spend some time rummaging around there on a Sunday morning. We braved the chilly air today and came home with a dirty- looking glass dome and wooden base (which I think was once home to a clock).  We paid the princely sum of $1.50. After washing the glass, sanding and oiling the base, it is now home to some of our ever-increasing shell collection. A very inexpensive ornament, and I rather like the look of it. I'm a happy girl when I have paid so little for something so delightful.

And here are the before and after shots of my lovely new (old) dome.
