Mr Bim

 

Here I am again!!!

after playing hooky for a bit with the writing and flea marketing and everything else.

 

Its been awhile since I last had something of interest to write
We have been searching for a house most of them have turned out to be a no go so the hunt is still on but after not flea marketing for awhile because I didn't want to have so much stuff stacked up that I would have to move and because sales have been insanely slow on etsy I just gave up and went flea marketing I cant say no to it for long..

My birthday was june 17th so Josh asked me what I would like to do and I said FLEA MARKET! and Mexican food we also went on a 5 hour long float trip one day and got completely burnt which doesn't happen often because we are nocturnal..



It turned out that lots of flea markets aren't open on Monday so I didn't go to many

At flea market 1 I found this Weebles Wobbles house and after some research I found that it goes to Winnie the Pooh

                               I got a big bag of random toys just what I needed huh?

At flea market number 2 I found this really sweet bunny very kitsch and a little rubber bunny painting a easter egg which reminded me of the coloring pages we always did in school around easter time
I also found a really neat BAM BAM soakie

 at flea market 3 I got a bunch of books
Flat Stanley which I don't quite understand but had first heard of it from the show King of the hill

 I never can resist anything bunny themed I always just have to buy it

 This little book I got because it reminded me of me and Josh and our current hunt for a house
the mom bunny and baby bunny cant seem to find a house everything they try has either been sold or cant be rented to bunnies and in the end they decide that they will just build a house.

 I have been in search of this book for years now its one of my favorites from my childhood my mom used to read it to me.

I also got 2 peanuts finger puppets but I forgot to take a picture of them...


Today I went out flea marketing again and went to a new flea market

I got the baker or is it the butcher? Now I have a complete set just minus the tub
I also got this really rad Michelangelo lamp it works!! Im unsure if Im keeping or selling

After that flea market I went to the outside one ( also has an inside I just didn't go in )
and found these dolls not in the best shape but I liked them they weren't priced so I asked the vendor who said 2.00 for all so I got them along with a Gameboy game
I hadn't been to the outside flea market since I was about 10 and went looking for a hedgehog ( they sell animals there )

                                             Cant wait to play this! I got it for 3.00

At my next and last flea market I found Mr Bim and this ugly squeak toy who was labeled as Sweetie Pie ( a comic maybe ) she looks like a really ugly Little lulu
but I was really excited to find Mr Bim he is just so retro :)

                                           Heres the ad I found online for Mr Bim!!

Here are some things I found at the flea market that I found interesting but didn't buy

Don't worry this oddity isn't real its ceramic I almost bought it because when will I ever see something like that again..but I resisted the temptation.

 I would have bought this for my mom if it had been in better shape or at least cheaper

 I had a hard time not buying this.. I mean its just so cool but what would I do with it? I don't have kids and Im out of room in my apartment for things...so I settled for a picture of it instead.

 This guy has been on my to buy list for so long but I never find him at affordable cost

                                                        He even had his box still!!

 I have no idea what this is but I wish I did ..I wish I could have opened it

 

 

That's all for now hopefully Ill get to go on a few more adventures soon :)

Kitschy Pink Poodle and some other stuff

I haven't went Flea Marketing in awhile I was going to wait until after October because I have been spending my money on Halloween stuff and doing Halloween related things but I couldn't resist any longer and Saturday I swung by one of my usual haunts
I didn't find much but that was ok I was trying to be a good girl and not spend to much money I had already been bad and spent so much on movies and tshirts and home décor..so I knew I shouldn't.


Heres what I got

A really kitsch Plastic Pink Poodle its broken in spots and used to be a bank but I think im going to use it to hold my remotes and cell phone.

 This sweet little tin im going to put in Merrills Shop :)

And not pictured  because I already mailed it off to live with a friend of mine before taking a picture a sweet little kewpie doll
I also got a cool Jack O Lantern bucket but Ill post that in my next post
I spent less than I ever had in that flea market that day.

On Saturday we went to a craft fair and looked around I didn't find anything I really wanted which was ok I have way to much in my house but I did stop at one vintage booth and I was looking at a bag of kids books and the lady said I could have the bag for 4.00 dollars and after that I had to buy them..
The craft fair was very fun its really pretty there water falls and a bridge and an old mill its great to just walk around and enjoy being outside in the sun and to enjoy all the good smells the cedar the good food smells.
I had a huge platter of curly fries that were pretty amazing!


Im going to put this book into Merrills very understocked store.

 This book is so cute its what got my attention when I saw the bag of books

 In the bag was also 2 more Button books I love them..but I know nothing about them so Ill have do do some research.

 This book has no words its just a couple of cute pictures of kittens its also going in Merrills store

 This book feels like it has never been read before..its sort of like a Jack and Janet book.

 I had this book as a little girl and I loved it theres a puppy in this book that the Shy little kitten meets on her adventures that looked just like my Dog Whatamess.

 I found several bags of Polly Pockets 2 of them still have dolls and 2 of them don't.

 These dolls are interesting they are from the early 90s and are called Popcorn Pretties apparently faeries or something that lived inside a kernel of corn.

 I don't know who this doll is but she smells really good and is made by Mattel and in 1988 Im not sure if she is supposed to smell good or is just scented because she was in a bag with Cherry Merry Muffin...I could use some help figuring out who she is

 I got this whole bag of dolls for under 2.00 what a steal! 2 cherry merry muffin dolls they are in good shape but Cherry Merry Muffin herself has messy hair and a cupcake doll ect ect Im pretty happy not to mention that all these dolls smell really really good.

 I had one of these as a little girl but mine was a parfait doll
this one is in ok shape but her ribbon that attackes her cupcake top hat is gone.

                                                        Here she is transformed!

 I picked up this sweet little guy to add to my collection!

 I couldn't resist this kitsch bird to hang in my kitchen he is pretty neat!

 Fisher price 3 men in a tub but they seemed to have lost the tub and 1 man..
I think Josh is keeping them he has very fond memories of  playing with these as a child :)

Falls a great time of year! Ill do another post about some of the other stuff I got and things I have been up 2 :)
