Easter Monday Flea Market

I've just got back from the Easter Monday Flea Market, picked up some more photos for my collection, I also got an Easter present from my boyfriend of the most amazing post mortem baby in a crib, so a good Easter for me.

A Lovely Edwardian Baby in a heavy frame



Creepy looking Siblings, especially the blurred girl, they kind of remind me of the twins from the shining



Stunning Postmortem of a baby in a crib, in what appears to be his or her Christening gown and bonnet

Flea Market Finds

went to my favourite flea market this morning, picked up some more pictures for the collection, didn't spot any unrecognised postmortems, but that hardly ever happens, anyway here is what I did buy, I particularly love the family group with the terrifying woman sat at the front

todays finds at the Flea Market

Went to a fantastic Flea Market today, it was HUGE and although I had limited funds, I managed to bring back some really lovely stuff, as well as the following I also got a gorgeous 1930s black crepe dress, which I will photograph later on. There was a fantastic selection of photographs, here are the ones I bought, most of them are French, two are English.
'Little Ghost' I adore this spooky looking child



This girl looks quite ill for her first communion



Really nice family group, I like the baby chewing on his hand!



I thought the backdrop for this was stunning



This old woman is the perfect representation of how I see the Woman in Black, how stunning are her cape and bonnet



As well as the dress and these photos, I found a bag of 1950s paper dolls, with alot of hand painted cut out clothes to go with them, here is a small selection of the bag, which has loads and loads in! I use these kinds of things in my mixed media collages, so I mainly bought them as raw materials for my work, but there are some lovely things here.
These two are a from a group of about 6 or 7 of these quite large full dolls, when I have my own place I will have them all lined up on the wall.





here are a few of the hand done clothes for the paper dolls



And lastly my favourite one, this little petticoat
