The April Flea!

I love the flea market! I thought I was going to have to miss it this month, but it turned out they moved it back a week because of Easter. Yes! We headed down to the fairgrounds on Friday. It was a beautiful day! I had my birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.
And after months of talking about it, Kimmie came with us! We had a good time and she was a good sport about me digging through every box of photos in sight! I always worry I'll bore someone who goes with me because I'm pretty slow at the flea, but Kimmie has had lots of practice waiting, since her other half is a record collector.
I found the first Junior Deluxe Edition for my collection I've found in a while. Davy Crockett! I need to update that post! I have over 30 now!
Very realistic!
I wanted that little chalk dog! But I don't have a good place to put it. 
I need this for my future sun room!
Pennants seemed to be everywhere! If this Fantasyland one wasn't in such bad shape (it's hard to tell but it was falling apart) I might have brought it home!
I'm always attracted to decals!
There is something about those shell mantle clocks that I have always liked. So tacky and beautiful. Especially when paired with a kitten plaque and a kind of Elvis.
Gorgeous! 
My favorite colors!
I REALLY want this Chitty Chitty Bang Bang lunchbox! That is one of my favorite movies and I use a lunchbox every day at work! It was out of my price range though, even when the dealer said he could go down 25 bucks! I wish I had gotten a photo of the other side, it had the child catcher on it, who terrified me as a child!

I'll come back and show you what I brought home tomorrow!

  4. Hehe, I love the Hawaiian Elvis bust. So funny. I remember watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a kid as well. Too bad it was so expensive. My future-father-in-law gave me a Chip N Dale lunchbox that's pretty awesome, since that was one of my faves as a kid.

  5. Nothing better than a day at the flea. I was just talking about the child catcher the other day with Tom. That guy creeps me out too!
