A Virtual Flea Marketing Trip with me

So I hadn't spent time with my mom in so long now because one of us would usually get sick and cancel or something and I have become quite the hermit plus she works but she had the last 2 weeks off and today was her last day so I thought I should do something with her I called her up wendsday and asked if she would like to go do something and she said..I don't know you always cancel on me so I don't see the point ...OUCH! and so I decided that no matter what I wouldn't cancel I would get up early even if I was tired and I would go because I do cancel on her way to often..and I feel horrible!


So I woke up a little before 10 am and tried to go back to sleep and couldn't so I called her up and she said she would pick me up soon.. So I got up and got dressed in my favorite horror movie tshirt ( she was so pleased haha )  It was my Dawn of the Dead shirt which she of course complained about and said I cant believe you would wear this on a nice Mommy Daughter day..at a nice restraunt ..

So She took me out to eat at this nice little tea shop and we had Asparagus Quiche and salad and a pot of Orange Spice tea and then we went to a flea market and I decided to take pictures.

 I thought about getting that cute cat figurine..but I thought about what it would be like to ship it and changed my mind...

 I have no idea what this is but it reminds me of Chubby from The Little Rascals

                                                           A Very Kitschy Clown

 I spotted this at both flea markets we went to the first time it was 75.00 and the next for 65.00 ouch

 I had something like this when I was a little kid..

                                                          a bunch of cute dog figurines

 Blue and white china .. my moms favorite type ..This is the type of stuff she looks for when she goes flea marketing..

 Large...sort of creepy doll...

 Really neat Willy Wonka poster..but they wanted 225.00 for it

 Beautiful chalkware carnival doll..

 Sad dog bank Josh has this in plastic

 Really neat kitschy Retro tacky awesome! I wish they hadn't been 10.00 a piece maybe Ill try my hand at making some.

 Extreme Tacky Retro Chairs that I have been wanting for over a year now but have no room for and Josh doesn't want them in the house :(

 A close up of the pattern on the chairs.. I really must have these

 My dad used to smoke this brand...oh the memories....

 A lamb planter so cute I almost bought it and then I remembered I have 2 lamb planters that I haven't sold yet...

 I love vintage Christmas stuff its great and it reminds me of Joshs Grandma

 I have wanted this guy for awhile but every time I come across him he is expensive and Im a cheapskate

and finally the last picture....I would hang this in my house

 

can you believe I only bought 3 things I got a vintage cat squeaky and Playskool Kid Sister ( the one I have talked about before ) The doll is in good shape except she doesn't have her original clothes and on the way home my parents Boston Terrier got ahold of her and messed up her hair so now I have to brush it out and put it back in pig tails...and a Oliver vhs ( I have told myself not to buy anymore vhs that I have no room but I have wanted to watch this movie for awhile it was a favorite when I was little )

The second flea market is HUGE we actually didn't finish going through it .. it used to be a nursing home which is kind of ironic and depressing ..My favorite booth that I buy Polly Pockets and Sweet Secrets and stuff like that was gone though and that was disappointing.

 

Well that's it for now :)

A Woodland Bear Christmas Contest

So sometime ago I realized that lapin and me is having a contest for the best costume for your Woodland Bear doll..So I thought why not Ill enter I never ever do things like that

So after pondering what I could dress the doll up like I finally decided she was going to be Santa it also happened that it snowed so I managed to get the perfect picture...here check it out

Heres the link to the picture https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152575901851992&set=a.10152545032576992.1073741861.74955121991&type=3&theater

Next post A Flea Marketing Trip with me

Some flea marketing finds and my christmas gifts

Well I said Id post some stuff about Christmas when I had time and today is the day


Christmas was fun other than the fact that I got really really sick right before it
Josh gave me several of my Christmas gifts early and I gave him his early.. we do this every year we really aren't good about playing the waiting game


Josh got me a Hoodie I had been wanting for awhile and The latest South Park Box set so now I have all of them
He also got me season 2 of The Flintstones which is one of my favorite cartoons ever ( to be honest when I was a kid I preferred The Jetsons but now its the other way around )

He also got me the cutest doll ever and one that I had been wanting for so long it actually just arrived in the mail the other day because it came from the UK

He also gave me 50.00 for squeakys pretty exciting :)

I got Josh a bunch of fishing stuff he had been wanting.

Christmas Eve we always go to his parents house for dinner and gifts and we get to have a nice visit with his uncle and his Grandma and of course the huge hoard of yorkies  5 of them.


His mom got me Worlds End and Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the dead and a really nice candle and also 50.00 to buy squeakys with

Josh's mom is probably the best cook ever she makes a huge array of things and always my favorite types of stuff
7 layer dip and tortilla soup and a huge snack platter and cookies and cakes.

This is the second Christmas we didn't put up a tree because Sophie is still just as crazy as he was when we first got him.

I got sicker that night so I ended up not going to Josh's Grandparents house Christmas day.



                                                            Here are a few of my gifts

 Josh also surprised me with a nice new camera that takes really great pictures

                                                    It has a black and white setting :)

                                          And this is its sunset setting it works great!

 I know im going to enjoy taking photos of old buildings and churches in black and white

 

 I usually refuse to take a picture of myself or let anyone take a picture of me but part of my New Years goals is to not hate myself so much so here it is...

Ok now for the Flea marketing finds .............


Most of the flea markets I have went to really haven't impressed me at all because I hardly found any toys it was mostly just dishes and stuff like that.


but heres what I came up with

I got a cute little squeaky Sun Rubber Ruth E Newton dog  I actually already have one like it in my collection  and a little deer and a really cute bunny

                                       Vintage Commonwealth caterpillar plush..

                                                           This little squeaky boy

                                                A Strawberry Shortcake Rag doll

 and her friend Raspberry Tart

 

Hopefully the next time Ill come back with more stuff Im trying to get up to 200 items in my shop :)

 

In the next post Ill tell you about the contest I entered :)
