Mt Dora Extravaganza

An Extravaganza it was! We went to the first of 3 annual antique Extravaganzas. Yummy treasures everywhere!

Vintage bottle Christmas trees are all the rage,and I was over the hill

with this bottle tree wreath

How cute is this pink popcorn machine!

We turned a corner and I saw this group of people,and then I realized who it was! Ki Nassauer (in the cute green blouse),the one and only from Flea Market Style Magazine. Once the group broke up,I spoke to her,and yes she is just as sweet as you think! Look for an article on just this market in the Spring 2012 issue of Flea Market Style!

The Extravaganza is know for it’s fabulous treasures,and when I saw this buggy..it was instant love! I pictured it in my mind in every room of our home! You know how the magazines show the Christmas gift wrap area and the gift wrap is all arranged just so cute…BINGO…this buggy! Fabric,this buggy! Art Canvas…this buggy..Then I asked the price,my bubble burst and I moved along

How much you ask? 150.00

These ladies know how to end an event! A picnic! Vintage table cloths,wine and a review of there finds! Why sit in traffic when you can relax and enjoy lunch with friends!

Christmas Cards

A quick trip to the art supply store, (ok I got lost in all the great art supplies) or not so quick.

I stocked up all these great metallic pens and pencils.

Perfect for my Christmas Cards!

How about you? Have you even thought about Christmas Cards? I know it’s hard to believe it’s that time of year already!

I got an extra pack of these great Pentel Metallic Pens just for my dear blog friends! Everybody needs some sparkle when addressing Christmas Cards!

When do you like to mail your Christmas Cards? Do you have a date,or just when they are finished? Leave me a comment about your Christmas Card traditions and I will pick a winner on Sunday Nov 20 to win these great Pentel Slicci Metallic Pens!

The Fancy Flea was Fabulous!

Romantic Homes of course was correct in naming The Fancy Flea one of the top 10 flea markets,it was fabulous!

This photo was taken hours before the show started,the street was never again this empty!

I promised to take lots of photos,but it was busy busy busy all day long!

The streets were packed,and everyone was having a great time!

An all day event,ladies shopped,lunched and shopped more!

I loved this balancing act of the baby and the frame!

I told Mr. Beets,I thought I had died and gone to shabby chic heaven!

We started to set up at 5:30am,and I had to fight the urge to go shopping! It was like being in the middle of Romantic Homes magazine,Country Living,and Somerset Life all at once!

I really wanted to chat with the artist of these gems,Vintage Soul,but she was so busy with customers,I just shot some photos. She has a store not far from us,I am already planning a visit!
