Seen Around

Last Saturday there was a vintage church basement sale in Montreal.

I told Dan about it and he said I wanna go!

So off we went!

 Let's start of with a declaration! 

I need a plastic ottoman with plastic flowers in it!

That is seriously sweet!

 I do love a spaghetti lamp....but I had 2 in my apartment.

 Canisters are always a fave of mine....

I have no idea why I took this picture....lol 

 I was tempted by these milk

 pitchers, however I felt they were too expensive

 I should've grabbed this ashtray...but I did not

and it was only $5

Oh well live and learn...

This is what I came home with.

a Pyrex Citrus Daisy loaf pan and 2 cool glasses.

We really had fun but were really glad to come home!

Sleep tight!

Woohoo!

I am really happy to announce that the books in the green room are gone to their new home!

WOOT!

200 boxes....OMG

All gone!

 A big weight is off my chest!

I feel I can move forward, enjoy life and have fun!

 Speaking of fun....

we went to an amazing church basement sale....

and of course we are not even out of the car that we spot these beauties...

I need to add Charities to our list of vintage addictions....

the wood will be refinished and we will enjoy those in our 2 living rooms.

 This sweet thing I spotted in a container in a flea market in eastern Ontario....

I just saw the color and knew I had to check it out! 

The seller wanted $7 and I offered $5.....

DEAL! 

I kept it close to my heart until we came to the car...

Good thing I always pack bubble wrap and newspaper in the car!

 This past weekend was actually the first weekend in a long time without rain

and really cooler temperatures.....So we went to garden centers for supplies!

I bought a new papyrus plant for the water garden as well some water lettuces and originating plants.

It doesn't look like much now but as they grow it should look good.

One fountain started...one more to go!

this one is the easy one.the size is manageable and not

too heavy...the other one another matter!

The rhododendrons are in full bloom.

My Dad loved them so much.

And he was always pushing me to buy some...

To tell you the truth they scared the bejesus out of me!

But now that I have 15 in the garden...it is okay.

we do our best and that's it!

What more can we do?

Christmas Flea Market

Sunday December 4th there was a christmas flea market held in church basement not too far from my house.

I saw great displays!

 Every glassware fanatic will swoon over this pic!

 Must buy vintage brooch !

 The huge fur boa really reminds me of my mother

 Super cute display!

 I am thinking I should start collecting piggy banks!!!

 Or maybe Tiki glasses and cups!

 I wish I had room to bring all these treasures home!

Lovely Barware! 

I picked up this little guy. He's seen a lot of Christmases!

He's missing some paint but he still lights up and he is CUTE!

I will leave you with this picture of vintage and antique

ornaments that belonged to Dad.

Have a great day!

Hope to blog soon!

Can you guess where I went?

Last weekend in November we went on a MEGA road trip!!!

Let's see if you can guess where we visited...

 Food carts

 Guy's American

 A huge wall of M&Ms

 Life size Storm Troopers....

 Lots of neon lights

 Cool hotels...

I am sure you guessed it! 

we spent a weekend in NYC!!!!

We had the best time!

We walked, walked and walked some more.

We even caught a bonified flea market in Hell's Kitchen!

 Pyrex anyone?

 Oh how I love vintage Xmas ornaments!

   This is to up the creepy factor!

Yes I don't like 

doll parts...

EEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!

We didn't buy anything but it certainly was a feast for the eyes!

Soon more to come about our trip to NYC!

Local Vintage Flea

Who knew there was a monthly vintage flea market in a church basement 20 minutes from my house?

I sure didn't! Well we went last Saturday and it was really nice!

I was also able to deliver a Pyrex bowl set to a lady who bought it on Facebook!

 Does anyone remember those candy canisters?

 A great booth always has great vignettes!

 Okay,okay I regret not buying this trivet!

I hope to get it next time!

 A romantic vignette for Valentines

We bought this sunburst wall clock at a really good price.

Last time we saw some they were $250 and up.

Meghan is adjusting just fine...better than we are....

Be well and keep thrifting.

I really appreciated your condolences. 

They made me feel better.

Seen around....

oh my! This is my first seen around post of 2016!

We went to Plattsburg, NY last Saturday as a wee roadtrip. i needed a change SO BAD!

I was well prepared and Dan was super relaxed and opened to the thrift. Before lunch I visited 2 thrifts without sucess. But that doesn't mean I didn't see cool stuff!

                          Where have you seen a chopped liver dish ? It was a first for me 

A cool casserole rack

A schmogasborg of Pyrex!!!

a nice Old Orchard in box....

  

Yellow gooseberry

  

A HostessSet! Wow

To tell you the truth....if i had a stall in a flea market

It would look like that!!!
