My Finds From Flea-O-Logy

Flea-O-Logy Overwhelmed Me!

I wasn't prepared for all the "stuff" I would find.

And I am moving in a couple of weeks, therefore,

I didn't buy many things.

Next time I will be more prepared and have a plan in place.

HaHaHa! Me with a plan?

Some of the things I bought were only useful to me. . .

Really!

A brown Vaseline jar. . .Really?

Who would get all excited over an old brown glass jar?

Me!

I think it will be cute in all sorts of vignettes, and

 I think it is. . . Unique and Cute.

When is the last time you saw a brown glass Vaseline jar?

 I also like this old wooden box

Right now it is on my patio with this succulent plant. . 

I can think of all kinds of uses for it.

 I fell in love with these old silver spoons.

I wish I would have bought more. . 

Are they sugar spoons?

 Love the handle on this one.

I thought it was a "toodler"spoon, but the lady

Selling them said she thought they were sugar spoons.

 The little glass "thingy" above. . .what do you think that is?

Well, it is very rare. . and no it is not a electrical insulator.

Electrical are aqua or white.

I will let you guess on this one.

It is the prettiest navy blue. . and like I said rare.

 This beautiful vintage table-cloth really caught my eye.

It is gorgeous. . I can't wait to use it on my dining room table.

 I love those old "50's" table-cloths,

They remind me of my Grandma, and my Mom and my Aunts.

Oh, and here is my Mighty Lion!

You know I have a thing for Lion's

It is the symbol of my family.

I can never pass up a Lion.

When I washed him, some of his paint came off,

So I have to touch him up.

He is  Leo The Lion!

Well, there you have it. . .

My little treasures from Flea-O-Logy.

I will show you where their new homes will be in my

New little Condo. . 

Is a condo called a house? 

Well that is what I am going to call it.

My House!

I will be posting about it later.

This week and next week are the big boxing and painting days.

Talk about Overwhelmed.

 

FLEA-O-LOGY

Well, I finally made it to the

FLEA MARKET

FLEA-O-LOGY puts on

In my sweet little Payson. . .

Yes, it was every bit what I had hoped it would be

 I am afraid I have "really" become

An Ole Junker

There was some really neat "junk" there. . 

Like they say. . .

"One mans junk is a another mans treasure".

And that is what I could see

Lots and lots of 

Treasures!

Enjoy the pictures Lots of them. .

 My cousin, Claudia and my 82 year old Auntie Colleen

Were my partners that hot, hot day

 Lots of vintage bottles, and all kinds of old things

 Kathy is one of the

Fleaologists. . 

Oh, she finds all kinds of goodies.

And a very sweet person too!

You can find Kathy at My Second Hand Stuff

There really was some beautiful things. . Lots of Vintage.

 I loved this little booth. . .so vintage.

Look at the beautiful crocheted ladies gloves.

We decided we need to wear beautiful dainty gloves again.

 Well, I fell in love with this RED retro telephone. . .

No, I didn't buy it. I wish I had though.

 There was so much stuff. . .I was overwhelmed. . 

I didn't know what I wanted, nor where to start.

 Now there are lots of things I wish I had bought.

Just look at the doors and windows.  Oh, My!

 As we were leaving, I saw this cute old pink bassinet

I had to have a picture of it. . .

Another post I will show you what I bought. . 

Now, I wish I would have bought some other things. . 

But, I was overwhelmed.

I hope to go to another

Flea-o-logy

I will be better prepared for the next experience.
I will have a plan.

I think the next one in Payson
Is Labor Day weekend, September 1

Cloche for Summer

Oh, silly me!

I thought Marty's Stroll Thru Life

Summer Cloche Party

Was last week.

Nope! It is today!

So you are seeing a few picture I posted last week. . .

I just had to join the party.

This is a wire one I bought in the spring. . 

I am trying to acquire a few cloche's

Mine are nothing compared to Marty's. . 

She is the Mistress of Cloche's

She is the one who introduced me to them

This is a homemade one. . 

I made the stand out of various "things"

And the cloche is a "cheese dome".

One of these days I am going to have one of the

Pretty glass tall cloche's. . 

Be sure to stroll over to Marty's Summer Cloche Party

There are all kinds of cloche's. .

Summer Cloche Party

A Little Faux Pink

Don't you just love Faux Pink Flowers?

Oh they are real live flowers, just Faux colors.

(I like the word "faux" better than "fake".)

You see them at the grocery stores all the time,

Flowers in all sorts of Faux colors

Today I needed some color. . ..SO. .

I bought a bouquet of flowers. . for myself.

 

Now that is PINK!

Faux Pink or not those flowers are alive!

 This bouquet of flowers makes me

Feel Alive

Happy and Smiling!

How about you, do you buy Faux color flowers 

At the Grocery store?

I am linking to Beverly today for

PINK SATURDAY.

Take a look at all the beautiful Pink.

 

Old Milk Crate

My SIL (son-in-law)

Bought me this little beauty

Oh, how I have wanted one of these. . 

Old Milk Crate. . 

Well, now I have one. . .

It is in pretty good condition too.

I am so thrilled with it. . .

I am trying to decide if I want to stain the wood

Maybe a dark walnut. . .hmmmm!

What do you think?

My Wire Cloche' And A Few Changes

My friend Marty over at

A Stroll Thru Life

I having a Summer Cloche Party

I don't have a lot of cloche's 

But I found this cute wire one

A few months ago and just had to have it.

 I place it in all sorts of places

It is so fun to decorate with.

This time I thought it would look cute on top of

The television cabinet.

It has a butterfly inside. . .I thought it look good with the

Embroidered picture I found at DI

So there you have my

Summer Cloche'

Nothing fancy, just simple and pleasing to look at.

Be sure to visit Marty's Summer Cloche' Party

 

Keep On Trying

If you follow me you know I have

Been trying to get my own home.

Several attempts and they all failed for various reasons.

Well, I just keep trying and trying.

I am hoping and praying this is IT!

I will be moving on the 15th of August

 It is a cute little condo. . .

 It is only a block from where I now live

I have been watching, and watching hoping something would

Come available there. . .

 This is the view I will have. . .

 Lots of wide open space

 A small little yard. .  perfect for me and Zoey

I am pretty certain this will go through

I will be signing the papers this coming week.

I just want a place I can call HOME

(I will show picture of the inside when I am in)

Flea-O-Logy

Well, as I swelter in the heat of Summer

I dare not to complain

Because Summer will be over before I know it

And I will complain about it being cold.

But, in the mean time it is a hot one

In the triple digits where I live.

It was 102 today!

The heat drains me of my energy. . .

(Well, I will blame it on the heat)

I have been busy, but not with anything worthy to blog about

Unless you want to hear about me cleaning my craft room. . .

Oh, I will have pictures, when I am finished. . .it may take awhile.

I just don't have enough room. . .and I am not willing to let things go.

And NO I am not a hoarder!

I just like stuff!

And speaking of "stuff"

I am going to my Homeland this weekend

A fabulous group called "Flea-o-logy"

Are having a flea market.

 

It is held at the old Dixon Home in Payson

I went a couple of years ago and I found some real cool things.

I am so excited to go this year.

I love old crocheted pot-holders

 Love, love these red and white ones I found

 I collect salt and pepper shakers (also). .

 Found these cute ones at Flea-O-Logy

 They all look so cute in my kitchen. . .

So this Saturday, June 14, 2012 

In Payson, Utah

I am going to find more cute "stuff"

If you visit my friend Cathy's blog she can tell you more.

Cathy is a "second hand" gal. . . 

Lots of good "stuff".

Look what Cathy has waiting for me! Or YOU

See you there. . .
