Late summer thrifts

It's been a while but in the past couple of weeks I've been hitting my ultimate flea-market hattrick: 3 different markets on 3 weekends and some very succesful thrifting! Here are some of my finds:

 A cute egg-cup and a Russian shawl for only 1 €! So happy I found the shawl, I had been looking for one for ages.
Beautiful plates, a little tattered already but perfectly fine to use for my purposes.

  
Found both the bowl and the fabric on the fleamarket and they go so well together. Might make a tablecloth from the fabric. 

 And these, of course, I didn't buy on the market but at the Marimekko outlet store in Helsinki but they are so precious I had to include them here. I haven't really decided what to make from them but probably a more formal dress with the one on top and a casual shirt with the one at the bottom.
