A Movie & an Ironing Board

Yesterday was my last day with the grandson

I had promised him lunch and a movie

(The Hobbit)

Before the movie I took him

downtown to Fossati's Deli for lunch

Fossati's Delicatessen is the oldest deli in Texas, and one of the oldest restaurants in the United States. Located in Victoria, Texas, Fossati's was opened in 1882 by

Italian immigrant Fraschio ("Frank") Napoleon Fossati.

After lunch and a little history lesson

we headed out......

BUT WAIT

.....since we were in the downtown area

and all my favorite flea markets are in that area.......

I decided it was time to introduce my 14 year old

grandson to the "flea market world"

He found it some what interesting

and I found a treasure I couldn't live without

a vintage ironing board



I love the red metal

but not so much the ugly cover

so first thing I did was cover it with pretty linens

Ok, this looked better

But then I peeked under the old cover
and pad and look what I found....

A beautiful wood board!!!!

as you can see the under pad was rotted

and falling apart and it was nailed to the end

of the board so it took me a while to get it off

But finally......

Wow, how cool is this????

and it only cost me $5.00

For now I have it in my bedroom

I added pictures of my grandparents

and a pair of my baby shoes

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it

maybe keep it, maybe sell it in my next booth

or I could even use it for display in my booth

Decisions.....Decisions

I also picked up two vintage aprons

at the flea market

Aren't they cute

They will definitely go in my next booth

which will be in March at Goliad Market Days

Every Little Birdie says-

Lunch & a movie, grandson was happy

a little flea market shopping, Nana was happy

it all worked together for a wonderful last day

with my very sweet grandson!!
