tomorrow's weather

how fitting is it that i found this vintage sign today.

tomorrow we could wake up to a little snow on the ground.

1st snow of the season.

yesterday it was a record 70, today 66 and tomorrow a high of 37.

it's been a beautiful fall!

1st day of summer

It's officially summer time!

hope yours is filled with whatever you love to do during summer;

cookouts, camping, rock collecting, flea markets, drive-in movies, watching fireflies, synchronize swimming,

etc. etc. 

enjoy and be safe!

 the rock display idea from

the cute blog lay baby lay.

time for a new look

 time to change up the kitchen kitsch.

(still a work in progress)

i hadn't been to target for a few weeks due to the bug

and when i did go it was like the store completely changed.

one thing i found were clocks, clocks, clocks.

big ones, little ones and just about any size 

for any room in the house.

i found the perfect one above for the kitchen.

and now i think i need one for the office.

tick tock, 

it's time to go back to target!

merry christmas!

hope you all have a happy holiday.

below are a few snippets from around the house.

tale of two floors, upstairs retro holiday, downstairs vintage wisconsin.

please excuse messy kitchen.....

 

cheers!

2015 elkhorn flea, happy trails

 well, sunday was the last elkhorn flea market for the year.

so sad.

but it was a beautiful day, best day of the year.

i ran into a few people i knew, including my sister who 

lives over 145 miles away!

below are a few fun items i spotted.

 may the force be with you......

 i wasn't surprised to see rodgers back

at elkhorn,

he's a big fan and their game

wasn't until monday night.

 this was my favorite booth of the day.

and it belongs to jan and kathy

of  gracie's cottage  and  down lilac lane

the photo doesn't do justice, it was magical.

love kathy's chippy deer display. 

my husband always jokingly says to me as i leave for the 

flea market,

no bigger than a bread box.

don't know if it sold, but am in discussions with my husband in case it hasn't........

 always amazing chippy shabby fun!

don't know how she does it.

pyrex and fireking,

silver and gold.

 vintage spice tin perfection.

just couldn't spend the $ they were asking.

 cute vintage manicure table

chandy galore!

love the colors in this barkcloth

 (sorry this is upside down)

 well, hello again!

rodgers is pretty fast so he can cover quite a bit of territory

at the flea market.

didn't know he was a musician, man of many talents. 

 here's ethel's toolbox

 love this tv!

candy made an appearance at many booths.

love this old time mix.

the last show always brings out lots of vintage 

halloween and christmas

 goodies.

 beep, beep!

 my scale's little sister

 shut the barn door!

 here's a set of tv trays in perfect condition.

growing up we had tv trays,

used them many a saturday night

enjoying spaghetti and homemade pizza.

 i don't believe this was for sale.

 mary tyler moore's mirror?

 remember these?

 cute booth, even the sold sign is cute.

 hey where's charlie brown?

 another mod chair, how much?

ya that's right!  says mr. turtle.
