MP finds : Cool Vintage

I stumbled across Three Potato Four at my local Brooklyn Flea in Dumbo last spring and then again just tonight online.  I guess I never made it to their site until now and definitely did not realize the wonderfully inspiring array of salvaged items that they have.  Sooo much mouth watering vintage stuff! Fun just to browse through and look for an excuse to buy.  In most cases, one-of-a-kind or limited availability items.  I particularly love all the different types of containers and letters/numbers.  

Where were these guys 9 years ago?  
For our wedding, my husband and I decided to forego the standard floral centerpiece and instead did a candlescape, if you will, of a dozen or more column candles, each enclosed in a variety of flea market find glassware. We scoured every flea market and garage sale searching for this enormous collection...from mason jars to crystal, every shape and size. There was only a simple scattering of petals and again flea market find vintage house numbers as our table numbers. Half the joy was searching high and low for it all and really feeling that every detail was thought out and unlike any wedding we'd been to to date.  I can't believe I still have the numbers.
