Friends, Fleas and Junk Yard Dogs!

This past Sunday was the Flea Market in our state capital, Sacramento. Prior to this day, Miss Michelle (I'm A Little Tea Pot blog) had purchased some vintage crochet potholders from me. We got to chatting via emails and come to find out, she and the wonderful Miss Linda (Somewhere In Time blog) were planning a trip to SAC Flea, too! What a wonderful day it was and meeting Michelle and Linda was just so much fun!!! They are both very sweet and fun ladies (yes you are!!) and Michelle and I were cell phoning (is that a word) each other during the morning about great finds. Mostly they had their eyes out for Scotty do-dads.

My sweet friend, Wave (who has the most wonderful collections and home) joined my husband and I on our quest for good finds. She brought her darling Scotty Dog Maude along and she and Duhgall hung out and shopped with us.

L to R: Wave (Maude is at the end of the leash), Me (I'm the giant), Michelle and Linda.

The flea is a good one, however I found that a lot of the prices were pretty close to retail prices.

The junk yard dogs....Duhgall (left) and Maude (rt). They are actually half brother and sister...same Dad, just different Mother. They got a lot of attention that day from other shoppers and were well behaved.

"Hey Duhgall," whispers Maude, "that poodle looks pretty stoned there...it just has a blank look on its face and isn't moving......Duhgall....Duhgall!....look! I am talking to you!!"

"Hey! Dude! Aren't you hearin' me, Duhgall?" says a frustrated Maude. "Maude," Duhgall professes, "I heard you, but my dogs are barking and I just want to lay down!"

Lil' Tulips and Meet Patricia!

Something sweet about Tulips ~ a reminder that springtime is here. As a kid I had a rabbit by the name of Tulip, too. Loved her tulip shaped ears! I bought this old soap holder from T-Party and just love it!
Teeny tiny vintage metal children's dishes with all things sweet ~ little birds, tulips and windmills.
Vintage graphics are by far the most adorable. This is a wonderful piece with a fun and very Mary Engelbreit looking pattern on it.
Now did you see that really cute red and white pot holder underneath the metal dishes? My sweet friend, Patricia, mailed that to me last week. She knows I love red and white in my kitchen and just blessed me with sweet goodness! I first met Patricia several years back - well sort of met her - you see she sells the prettiest linens on eBay under the name of From The Treasure Box. Some of you may already know her, however if you don't then you will want to mosey over and give a howdy-do to her on her NEW blog - Vintage Linen Treasures. She and her husband moved back to Texas recently from Southern California. Patricia is a sweet woman who takes loving care of her wonderful family and has superb items for sale on eBay. ~~ Happy new week to all of you sweet friends! Later I will share with you who I met this weekend! Naw, not the incredibly handsome Tom Selleck (ohhowIwish) but two very wonderful blog friends!!

ta ta for now!
