Don’t have an iPhone?  Check out the site, YardSaleTreasureMap.com, print out your own paper directions and start hunting!

Another collection to check out is the Vintage Shot Glasses.  The Vintage Hotel Silver collection of antiqued silver serving plates and domes also caught our eye.  These items can be collected and lovingly used to add a touch of the cozy, flea market style into your home.  We also loved her Falling for Butterflies , hand colored engravings and Crocheted Lap Blanket.
