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 :)

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 :)
