FLEA MARKET TODAY!

Ended up going it alone today...could REALLY have used Robbie...to come along...(he's sooo good at carrying packages...especially the HEAVY ONES...LOL....(that means i scored)...not many sellers today but many newbies...and that translates into...NEW STUFF! i got a couple of books to alter...i look for the titles...for themes...got dickens christmas and a chemistry book from 1932 (handwritten notes galore, the little lame prince 1918, and tales from shakespeare, the dickens christmas will be the new home for my sweet little christmas elves still in the woolworth box...going to make a shrine out of it for them to live in! I got The house in the Woods...that was a budget buster at five cents...a whole bag of vintage trims....25 cents...then there was the mirror...heavy but i knew i could redo it...beveled mirrow...guy wanted $10.00 for it...hmmmm...i just kept looking and looking at it...and he came over and said he didn't want to take it home...hmmmm(note to self...he will bargain)... okay i'll take $8.00 for it...i just stood there...hmmmm he's dropping that price fast...lol..i picked it up to see if it would fall apart...nope solid as a rock...looked at him....he goes...okay you drive a hard bargain...( i hadn't said ANYTHING!)...$5.00!!! HOW DO THOSE BIRDS ON NEMO GO...? 'mine, mine mine mine"...

and hey lookie at the magazine with the cover that boasts...buy this house for just over 2000.00! i'll write a check now! lol darn from 1941...wonderful graphics!

then there was a vintage children's box...hmmm fashions by Fawn...and you know how much i love my vintage kids stuff! i opened the box...and there nesting inside were pretty pretty vintage easter honeycomb goodies and chicks!

was a great day!

i'll be out of touch for a couple of days...just chat amongst yourselves...going camping...taking two totes of goodies to work on...

HUGZ!
