Antique Car Show Pays off!

We get this Really odd Car Show here twice a year.. November & February..

I've decided there Must have been some major Coup some years back that took place, That allows the Husband's to actually have their little Car Car show, if they allow a few Booths for old interesting Girl Stuffs too! Because over time it's transpired into loads & loads of old Antique & collectable Cars.. I think right about now I need to add that I am NOT appossed to these things. Just greatly appreciate some variety to Row after Row of old cars.. Really, how many Corvette's, Nova's, 57 Chevy's, & Model T's do i need to see.. THEN of course the really nauseating guys with the "No Touchy Please" signs on their lovely little cars.. that only they truly seem to appreciate.. obviously by the price tags that they've stuck on some of them.. I need a change of pace.. & i don't mean the next row.. devoted to booth after booth of dead car parts now lying around on greasy tarps waiting for a new home to hopefully bring them back to life again! Or better yet.. TIRES or HUB CAPS! Because Hell Yeah! Isn't THAT why I came here today?? sorry.. NO! I came in hopes of the scattered few relics that some brave Rrebel's have banned together to set up Booths of OTHER goodies!! Old Kitchen Stuff! Old Glass.. MY kinda Stuff! & I wasn't dissaponted! I was sorry to see that An old friend I'd made years ago had not made it this time round though.. She was actually the Girl that turned me on to the Kitchen Christmas Tree with all my cookie Cutters tied all over it.. & we'd been friends since.. year after year.. There were great Old Jars.. Fenton Glass.. Old Kids Riding Toys.. old pictures & Frames.. even my covetted Enamel Ware.. I was not completely sold on some of it though.. however brilliant some of the otems were.. some were just priced way to stupid for me.. This one guy had box upon box of Bottle Top.. i was ready to yell BINGO.. but the jerk would NOT come off his 50 cents a piece price.. EVEN with me offering to buy the entire box! When they don't play fair.. I definatly want to sock em Right in the nose! Stupid Guys..! So needless to say.. I didn't buy a single solitary bottle Top.. anyway.. he smelled like spam.. Hope he reads this too.. ok.. i'm alright now though.. moving forward...!

I DID get a few great Treasures! I was talking to nthe sweetest Man.. He had a simple looking quilt hanging up, he wanted $35.00 for it, said he'd take $ 25.00,I didn't buy it, am experiencing a bit of remorse over it,but that'll pass.He said You can have that one for $5.00,

Thought I was going to hurt my neck. It was on a Table underneath a bunch of glass things.. he was using to showcase all his other things. I said you sure, he said yep, I said cool, I said you just keep minding the store, I'll clear the table, But he helped me anyway.. WHAT an adorable Little Quilt! White & Orange Gingham squares! i gave it to the Jay Bird since Orange is her favore color, She was tickeled to death.. I also bought 3 Apron's for $3.00 each, & the neat thing with one of them is One of them has Cardinals Made from Bias Tape.. Like in Mary Jane's book!

I kept saying I wanted to try that one day, now i have a true example!

Found another tin Cookie Cutter, this one was $2.00, can'r ever have too many Christmas tree cookie Cutters.. if nothing else.. Great for gifts!

& one Hot pad, from the Sweetie with the Quilt for a Buck..

It was a nice morning, breezy, pretty day. Friends Marty & Daniella Met us out there.She's from Romania so she's always a trip to be with.. comes up with the cutest things to say..

Good day at The Car Show.. Can't wait for the next one!

Flea Market Finds!!!!

Well Finally Made it out to an Actual REAL live Flea Market !

Not just some pretend maybe make it to the end of a sale.. or run by .. stop & see whats still left over type thing! I actually was able to get over to one that was worth going to early in the morning!

& WHOO Hooo! Got some deals too!

A supr nice perfect condition old Jar With the lid still for $3.00.. One guy had a hand full of old wooden Spools/Bobbins.. 5 of them.. He said $10.00.. I said i'll give you $5.00.. he said they are really old.. i said i know.. yes.. they are.. but they are really common.. so they are good for $5.00.. i'll give you $5.00.. He wanted to argue about what great deal he was giving me.. i told him to have a great day.. & walked away.. they guy followed me to the next booth & handed them to me.. ok.. $5.00 he said.. yep.. thats what i said.... Funny.. because at the end of the day I ran across another man that had 3 really pretty red cone shaped ones.. he had them marked for $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00 But said I could have them for a buck each.. see.. Yeah.. Thats what they are.. one dollar.. Just like i told the first guy.. right?

Anyway.. Some different Copper Molds that IF you can believe it.. I DON'T already have! A corn image.. a heart shape with geese on it i think.. & one with a Chicken image in the center of a round one.. Lets see..what else.. Oh.. An Enamleware Stock pot for $2.00..Big deal! Though that was a great big deal! I'd have paid more for sure!

Oh.. a plaid wool throw for a dollar.. I'm telling ya.. they were nearly paying me to take this stuff!! A really cool HUGE whisk.. i'm thrilled with.. that was $2.00 & same guy had a wooden green handled something.. see it in the picture? not quite a whisk.. maybe sort of a strainer.. Anyway.. I already know who's hose THAT'S going to live in.. Certain someone I know just LOVES GREEN stuff.. even a little more then i do.. So.. it's hers! OOoohh A copper Christmas tree cookie cutter & a Scottie Dog Cookie cutter.. Each for 50 cents..hand full of lace stuff..All for $6.00!!! A small cream colored runner type things very pretty.. you can see it under the whisk.. a round one trimmed in red & another larger one.. the people at that booth were a hoot.. we were probably having a bit too much fun with the lace.. I think they may have decided to stick a couple things back in a bag & take them back home.. I may have re-awakened some ideas for alternate uses for a few things! I found a Big box full of these smaller boxes made from old Cheese boxes! they were all priced at one or two dollars.. depending on the size.. i grabbed a few of these.. great for pens or pencils or paint brushes I thought! Can't seem to remember anything else.. oh.. OHHH!! I got one of those Green 'leather' jewelry boxes.. the hinge that holds it open is broken.. So i got it for $2.00.. it's lined with gold velvet.. really pretty.. of course for me.. these things are all for craft stoarage.. so i think.. what can I stick in this!

But the very best thing I got from this old guy.. was this really cool box FULL of MY FAVORITE STUFF!! Rick Rack & Bias Tape... Some of it is so dang old.. But HOW AWESOME!! You wouldn't believe it! Most of it is all still in packages too..

GOBS of it! & a little baggie of snaps & buttons too All for $2.00..

I Really made a Great Haul this time.. & didn't spend all that much either!

Treasures!!!!
