Holy Moly I'm Tired


This weekend is the last Renningers Antique Extravaganza for this year. They have three per year starting in November, then in January and the last one in February. It is an amazing gathering of dealers from all over the nation. You cannot finish it in one day and it is grueling...I am whipped

This is a pic of one of my favorite primitive booths, it belongs to Pam who had an awesome store in orlando known as Cranberry Corners.
Another Cranberry Corners display.
My friend Michael went with me and we were measuring this two sided sign for his kitchen...only $500!!!!!!right...don't think so....not today......
Here's my sis Cass from Mockingbird Hill and my friend Michael being wacky in front of some awesome old stained glass windows...they were huge and beautiful!
We had fun and we ate our way throught the market....I swear, way too much fun, food and cool stuff. I'm going to bed......

THE YARD SALE...OMG!!!

All hail the yard sale.... when we went out to set up the tables at 6:00 am for a sale that started at 8:00 am I SWEAR there were this many people waiting at the end of the driveway even though we clearly stated in all ads that there would be NO EARLY SALES...notice the raised glasses...I am sure they were drinking because they were the MOST obnoxious group of yard salers I have ever encountered......do I have stories to share. Cass and I were heckled while we were setting up...I am telling you it was unbelieveable! And once the clock struck 8:00 and we let them at the stuff, this is what ensued!
Friggin' animals...one guy actually knocked another guy to the ground and didn't even stop...I was like you have to be kidding me!!!!They were snatching and grabbing at things like it was gold or the answer to world peace.....completely nuts, it's just stuff......
But we had a blast my sis and me. I loved spending the day with her and my neice. Cass's friend Jill came and we all had a good time.
I definitely had my grumpy pants on, those people put me in a mood.....

Going to my Sissie's

This weekend I am going to stay at my sisters house to help her with an ENORMOUS estate sale. Two members of her husbands family passed this year and she has all of these wonderful antique things to decide what to do with...so they decided to keep what is most important and estate sale the rest...whew!! What a job...there is this one problem....when she posted pics on her blog, Mockingbird Hill this morning, I promptly decided I wanted it all....except for the gazillion glasses, don't need those....do you think she would be mad if I asked her just to keep it all in her garage for me until I can find a place for it and to hide it from my husband?? If she would do that for me then we could just go shopping Saturday instead of having to stand around and sell stuff....just a thought.
Go look at the pics...cool, shabby stuff.....I'll take more pics when I get there and throughout the day...should be fun.....
