What's in all those boxes at the flea market where everything's a dollar anyway? Dig deep and you never know what's swimming beneath the surface.

Hi Eddie & Jaithan.. Me again.
Just popping in to say thank you for your comment on my last post.
Also. I got hold of Debra. She said she had the best time with you guys and I am so glad to hear there is a bit of live and joy in her voice again. To hang with you and help out with the event preparations was just what she needed I think. xx
Did she tell you about the memory blog we are doing in Marija's name? I'd love for you to contribute once it is up. I know how much Marija treasured the time you guys had together and how excited she was to find that you all got along so well.
Have a lovely rest of the week.
x Charlotta

One word: WOW!
You seriously don't find things like that in the one dollar boxes in Norway. I need to go flea marketing with you guys in NY!!
Posted by: Dagny @ Scandinavian Chic | August 03, 2010 at 02:57 AM
Please! Everytime I check in on what you're up to, I am blown away even more...truly! The compote and the arrangement are beyond beautiful, such a find and how you used it is so striking!
Maybe you could do a "Dolphin Day" once in a while and we could see your talents at work with the fish again...just a thought. ;)

Your flower arrangements are simply perfect!
Posted by: mariska meijers | August 02, 2010 at 08:48 AM
Seriously gorgeous!! But more information is needed here -- just HOW did you get those perfect elegant blooms to stay put in the pretty compote? Perhaps a "during" photo shot might be handy ..... please, please, please ..... (really whining and pleading here! LOL!)

I love the old dolphin pattern. Great find. And even more stunning with your vibrant floral arrangement. BTW- I saw a for sale sign on Todd Farm the other day. You might want to investigate before your next trip. El

Window coverings can be a classic addition to any room. I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty.

Posted by: Denise | July 30, 2010 at 03:52 PM
No one makes me want to go dig in a flea market, curbside trash, Salvation Army/Goodwill Store like you, Eddie! This is just such a whimsical, wonderful find!
Posted by: Virginia | July 30, 2010 at 03:25 PM
What an amazing find!

Beautiful, I'm a little jealous :+)
Posted by: Rachael @ Mrs-Adventure | July 30, 2010 at 02:29 PM
OM gosh has Terri seen this??? She is going to covet this for sure! What a treasure and how fun. I just did some GW shopping with a friend yesterday and found a few treasures I will share later this week.Just like the Ansel Adams negative story , this is what keeps us looking for the hidden treasure. Now I want to do some more thrifting, see how you always inspire me, Hugs Kathysue
Posted by: Kathysue | July 30, 2010 at 11:59 AM
You always find good treasures!! And...so fun that I bought my first-ever copy of "The Nest" mag and I was so happy to find your lovely budget makeover! I really loved the art & the lamps...Julie
Posted by: Milk and Honey Home | July 30, 2010 at 11:55 AM

The thrill of the hunt!What a cool find! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Now that is not something you see everyday. That is why some people love the thrill of finding a treasure and are willing to dig.
So Beautiful!

Wonderful gem you have discovered! Enjoy it and thanks for sharing as always!

So unique...what a great treasure!
Posted by: pandora's box | July 29, 2010 at 08:24 PM
Wow that is great! Loving the floral arrangement too.
Posted by: jana@opalnevershouts | July 29, 2010 at 06:43 PM
LOVE THAT! LA LA LOVE IT.
Started work on an estate sale that we're conducting in the Chicago area - there is an entire basement of boxes and that's what keeps me interested in the work that goes with the HUNT....Be open to stumbling upon treasures and you will find them.
Posted by: holly | July 29, 2010 at 05:43 PM
Gorgeous!
Just wanted to let you know I was one of the winners of the trex contest - thank you so much for letting people know about it on your blog - I am ecstatic!
Posted by: beth | July 29, 2010 at 05:04 PM
very unique find. personally i can't say it's my favorite piece ... but i do like how you filled it with flowers making them look almost like their flowing. maybe one could do the same with a unique candlestick with a bowl of sorts attached.
Posted by: Michael - Innkeeper | July 29, 2010 at 04:18 PM
What a beautiful find- I love how detailed he is! You two have the best eye for scores like this :)
Posted by: LindsB | July 29, 2010 at 03:21 PM
No tossing that one back - it's a keeper! Beautiful flower arrangement!
Posted by: Cathy S | July 29, 2010 at 03:15 PM
I know the feeling, I am also always looking between the 1 euro stuff, you always find something :-)
I love the dolphin, we have a big dolphin garden statue with a putti on it.
Thanks
David

What a great find! The peonies are the perfect pairing. Quite clever.
Posted by: Gramercy Home | July 29, 2010 at 02:16 PM
Consider it brightened! I just love, love, love the arrangment. Peonies are my faves. Have a great day!
Posted by: Amanda | July 29, 2010 at 01:12 PM
Wow what a find! Love the flowers in that compote. Just gorgeous.
Posted by: Lori | July 29, 2010 at 12:52 PM
What a fab find! Unique and a dollar? You can't beat that.
Posted by: Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi | July 29, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Wow, what a great find! I never understand the things people get rid of, and for so cheap!
Posted by: afreckledlip | July 29, 2010 at 12:17 PM
MAJOR SCORE! Love that compote dish! what a fabulous find!!!
Posted by: Acquired Objects | July 29, 2010 at 11:46 AM
As a fellow gardener, I love finding inexpensive ways to give away my Dahlias. The thrift store, antique shop, and resale boutique also have lots of options that don't break my bank. Nothing like a $1 unique vase that I don't have to think twice about not getting back!
Thanks for the well wishes the other day. It really was kind of you and succeeded in lifting my spirits.
PS The desk is done!
Posted by: Chris | July 29, 2010 at 11:37 AM
Woo hoo guys this is wonderful!! You always work magic with a little polish and shine.
Thank you again for your well wishes Eddie and Jaithan.

Only a dollar? What a find!
Posted by: Kate | July 29, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Treasures like this are why everyone needs to go flea marketing with Eddie and Jaithan at least once in your life! Of course, once you've met them, you'll want to go to the next one too!
Posted by: Sharon in Chicago | July 29, 2010 at 09:43 AM
SCOOOOOORE! That's a great little piece!
Posted by: Pigtown-Design | July 29, 2010 at 09:32 AM

One man's
trash...another's
treasure??? You
certainly have given
this dolphin a second
chance to shine, especially
when filled with this
sublime combo of flowers!
I can think of a certain
blogger whose name has
dolphin in it who would
LOVE to get her hands
on this beauty!
Happy Thursday : )

Posted by: Privet and Holly | July 29, 2010 at 08:19 AM
That's amazing! It's so unique, and it looks perfect with the way you arranged the flowers. I wish I could smell them in person! Christine
Posted by: Design Esquire | July 29, 2010 at 08:10 AM
I think I need to start going to flea markets and digging thru those boxes you keep finding instead of going to yardsales. That is a treasure. Your flowers are gorgeous as usual. Your finds always put a smile on my face.
Posted by: Sherry | July 29, 2010 at 08:09 AM
Heavenly - both the dauphin and les fleurs.
Posted by: columnist | July 29, 2010 at 07:34 AM
Oh, so lovely. What a great find, and a grand way to use it!
Now I have been reminded to dig a little deeper when we go out on
the World's Largest Yard sale trail next week!

Posted by: Jennifer | July 29, 2010 at 07:19 AM
You certainly have the magic touch! That is so lovely.
