Flea finds

I got to the flea market late today so I wasn't really

expecting to find much.

My family had these exact plastic Santa's

when I was younger.

Guess what my brothers are getting for Christmas...hint, hint...lol

Vintage ornaments, Lefton S&P owls...Mr. Owl

has his red bow broken but that's ok.

More deer to my collection.

Shabby Chic Joy garland.

Another treasure that I grew up with was the Santa

cookie jar...my original sits on my counter right now.

Wooden stamp blocks...lots and lots of them!!!

I can't wait to play with them...check

out the micro mini ones.

A whole container of Mistletoe scented Yankee candles,,,

...SCORE!!!!

The house is stinking purty as I type this...

My biggest smallest find...

A petite lady head vase to add to my collection...

she is missing an earring but that is easily fixed.

Did you find any goodies this week?

Hugs...

My Antique Emporium room

Merry Christmas!!!

I have been busy decorating my room

at The Antique Emporium.

Yes, the pom pom Christmas tree is a bit tall

but I was so excited to display it.

gasp...All of my vintage candy decorations have

been added...

Lots of vintage Christmas aprons,

tablecloths and even a pair of

old leather mittens.

Oh and check out the pretty cool

telephone table...

Lots of goodies to see...

the folding black metal tea table

is pretty cool to display items.

I am happy to say that the

Underwood typewriter sold on Sat...yayyyyy

Pretty crystal for the upcoming Christmas parties...

I have another smaller silver tree with more

rustic looking ornaments...

Happy Thanksgiving with Flea finds

Happy Thanksgiving!!

After a couple days of baking

fresh pumpkin bread, black Russian cake,

rice krispie bars, spice/pumpkin muffins (hubby took to work) and

pumpkin cookies (gifted to neighbor)

I was so ready for today's flea market!!

Ohhh what fun it is to come across these Christmas

cuties...

I even had a vendor wanting to trade for something

in her booth for these...haha

Lots of found goodies...the 1946 Bible is

so worn and loved...a keeper for sure!

The expressions on the deer is what drew me to them...

I had a piggy bank like this one...

Do you remember the 1970's Knockers/Klackers?

I remember the bruises on my wrist and arm area...haha

My hubby and I have an on going competition as to who

can klack them longer..so far I am in the lead....

This unusual talking Santa card is really cool!

You pull and scrape the plastic ribbon and it makes

a sound that says "Merry Christmas"

It's also signed by John and Jackie...could it be? Nawwwww

I love this green tray...a treasure for sure

and it all looks so pretty with my new found

jewelry!

But the biggest find of all is this Pom Pom

silver tree!

I looked for one at Rennigers in Mt. Dora this last

weekend but nothing.

It's still wrapped up and with original ad.

It will be displayed with vintage ornaments at my space

at The Antique Emporium with a big

NFS sign on the tree...hahaha

Happy Thanksgiving friends

Vinyl metal desk with a pink trashcan

Yummy metal milk crate....good for storage

anywhere in the house.

It has depth to it!!

Who can pass up a super duper cute PINK

vintage trashcan???

I also bought a humidor with copper insides, drum table with

ornate feet and a cute 6 tall glass daisy set in a green metal

holder.

Porcelain Christmas trees

Flea Market day!

And I have to say that the

flea market has grown!!!

This time of year the snowbirds

flock our way and thank goodness

some of them are vendors.

I have been looking for vintage

Christmas items to sell.

I couldn't pass up these two porcelain beauties!

The one I found earlier has been sold!!

OK...so I am keeping the larger one on

the left but the other you can find

at the emporium.

I hope you are having a great day!!!

Are you as excited to start decorating

for the holidays as I am?

Or are you a bah humbug?

I love this time of year...dh gets

to spend more time at home with us,

we love to do lots of baking, cooking and

just plain making happy memories.

space at the emporium...gasp...I know...

Washstand and Chandy

I have been eyeing this wash stand

for the last couple of days at the estate sale and

after much deliberation, it was

paid for and now stands pretty

with my ironstone.

Ugh...please help me...

I am undecided on which

chandelier I like better...

The one above has more chunky crystals

with lots of hard lines.

I didn't add the needed crystals/lights just

in case it comes down this weekend.

This one has more brass but lots

of crystal strands and prisms.

It's more foo fooey...

What do you all think?

Santa and JD box

A couple of items I bought

at this weeks estate sale.

This is a cute Santa Claus apron

with a large tablecloth

and two candy cane napkins.

Keepers? Not sure yet...

I was wishy washy on this Jack Daniels box

but finally decided to bring it home.

It's going in one of my boys rooms.

The estate sale we are working on is super

amazing...you will see more come home at

the end of the sale.

Life is good,

Sylvia

Happy November

Did you all have a Happy Halloween?

We enjoyed watching our youngest

carve his pumpkin all by himself,

then I spent the rest of the evening

taxing my oldest back and forth..lol

I am sad to see the month of October

gone...do I have to put my Halloween

decor away???

Can I hide a couple of skeletons

in the Christmas tree...maybe put

some Christmas hats on their bony heads..

yes???

OKayyyy....

then it's Christmas time

with a little Thanksgiving in between.

DH mentioned he wanted to start

putting up lights early this year...

wonder if next weekend is a bit early..lol

Jingle bells...jingle bells...hmmmm..hmmmm

No Bah humbug here!!!
