flea market fabulous

jockey
tripper and i picked up this little number last october as a first anniversary gift to ourselves. i love the vivid blue of the horse and the fact that the bottle opener says tru blu on it. the two pieces are actually framed together and couldn't be lovelier. this was our great find at the upper west side flea market across from isabella's in new york. speaking of, i'll be in new york on business the rest of the week (yay!), so stay tuned for posts from the big apple. last time i didn't buy a single thing ... this time i hope to make up for it!

update: from tripper ... "the horse was from a game i think, from the 1930s that was unearthed in some excavation. the bottle opener is circa about the same time from a different site in england, i think."

You forgot to mention what they were. The horse was from a game I think, from the 1930s that was unearthed in some excavation. The bottle opener is circa about the same time from a different site in England, I think.
