Long time no see...

Ok so Im guilty of neglecting my blog and my etsy store and pretty much everything else lately..but I am slowly returning to the land of the living after feeling so blah for so long.

We have had so much snow lately which has kept me inside sleeping under piles of blankets
and getting behind in everything....

I finally got out of the house Saturday and went flea marketing and I found some neat things
which is good because it was looking like I was never going to reach my goal of 200 items I still have a lot more work to do but Im at least making some progress.




Heres what I found on my trip out


I had been taking pictures of things I find interesting at the flea markets but the first one was so crowded I could barely move so I skipped doing that.


I couldn't resist this cute little porcelain kewpie looking guy.

And this book is simply adorable and I must say I relate to it -as a child I was so messy my room my hair if my mom didn't fix it for me..and when I ate I usually got food all over myself..my relatives on both sides called me Messy Nessie.

 This Metal Barbie thermos was so cool I couldn't pass it up..I almost did because its more than I usually pay for something I know nothing about but I decided to just go with it.

 2 little rubber dogs made in the early 90s Im going to put them up in Merrills charity store as soon as I re open it and I plan on doing that soon I have just been trying to get more stuff for it because its pretty empty.

 This guy reminds me a bit of my parents Boston Terrier

 This Goosebumps book...I got it for myself :)

 I usually don't carry kitchen type stuff in my store but I really cant resist vintage Tupperware I just love it -it reminds me of my childhood my parents had so much of this stuff ..my mom hated it though and got rid of most of it..so when I see this type of stuff I usually buy it.
Normally Id keep these for myself I love orange but I have no room for kitchen stuff at my house.

 Radio Shack Radio Bear I still have to figure out what year he was made and how much he is worth.

 I have a similar kewpie to this but I actually like this one a bit more I like her little dress
she needs some repair work done though the back of her head sinks in..I plan on stuffing her to help her keep her shape.

 a Vintage rattle made by mattel in the 80s

 I love this little doll she has 2 faces on one side she is smiling and on the other she is frowning

 Vintage fun farm camel plush he is in great shape

 Next I found a box of these pose dolls for a good price and I grabbed them up
I really know nothing about this type of doll but they are really pretty.

                                             Fun vintage  plastic canisters

At the last flea market I found this and I want it so bad if I had the money and room I would have got it.

That's all for now hopefully no more snow I cant stand be in so much I need to get out and flea market to my hearts content...I am sure Im not the only person who cant wait for spring :)

Flea marketing saturdays

Saturday I got to go flea marketing I overslept by an hour but it ended up not mattering much because I finished on time.


We went to carthage which is one of my usual places I go but it has been awhile and yet the inventory hadn't changed much at all.. very disappointing Ill have to switch it out with a new area for flea marketing which Ill probably do again soon as Im trying to get my shop to 200 items its been my goal for awhile and I never make it..
but I almost have 200 sales so I should do 200 items once I reach 200 to celebrate :)


So I guess on average I make 100 sales a year wish it was a bit more but I pretty much only sell toys and vintage toys which means I have to market to adults with big hearts who still remember childhood...they are the best kind my favorite kind of people.


Well anyways Ill quit rambling on and Ill tell you about my trip


I stopped at the first flea market which is my favorite of the bunch because in the past I have found some great things kewpies and Puppy Brite and a squeaky tennis player.

I did find a few goodies

This cute little tykes toddle tot with dump truck :)

 I bought a to of these Goosebumps stickers just for the fun of it im not even sure what im going to do with them :)

 This is the second Stan plush I have found in the last 2 flea marketing trips I usually never find South park stuff so I felt pretty lucky to find him..I of course will probably only be keeping one Stan and Ill sell the other either on ebay or through my facebook.

 I bought this for a laugh Im giving it to my mom who is a Spanish teacher :)

 This guy is so cute and kitsch he will be going into Merrills charity store.

 My favorite find of the day the only squeaky and one I have wanted for awhile perfect for my upcoming winter scenes :)

                               A cute kitschy lamb planter also going to Merrills shop

 and I couldn't resist these guys I love everything 70s and Love is perfect :)
in one of my dads old High School year books its actually the theme for Football Homecoming.

 It turns out I went wild on the breakables I usually try not to but I found so many cute ones that I couldn't resist this guy almost got broken a few times by the people at the counter..happens every time I buy a ceramic bunny..I love him because he reminds me of the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland ..He will be going into Merrills shop.

 With Christmas coming up I thought she would be a good addition to the shop.

 Next I found a bag of doll heads..which I always buy when I find a good deal it was a large bag for 5.00 I mostly bought it for the giant clown head who I have already used he had a derby hat on that I wanted for a project and it had to be cut off him and I think Ill use his face as a mask for one of my dolls.

 This little guy was in the bag of doll heads...scared still of the clowns who were wanting to eat him.

 These look like cabbage patch doll heads..but they are apparently older and made by someone else..which leads me to wonder lots of things......

 the heads came with one of these pretty much just like a Cabbage Patch doll when you unfold it theres a birth certificate.

My next stop was to a flea market where I have had lots of luck in the past I found my Brite Eyed kid and my celluloid walker doll but...its inventory hadn't changed much at all and they now don't take debit cards but I did get 2 items which the lady held for me while I went to a atm machine.

This guy is oh so cute I almost want to keep him he is so snuggly and soft.

 And this thing it reminds me of a puffalump but im pretty sure its not..Any ideas?
there wasn't a tag on it.

I went to one more flea market but didn't find anything at all that I wanted and I decided to skip the rest because they were the more expensive wanna be upscale flea markets where they charge you 50.00 dollars for a mcdonalds toy ..( im serious ) or ones with mostly furniture and art for high prices.
