~Fleamarket and Trick or Treat~

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday...my day was started off with saying goodbye to Stush , his daughter and boyfriend, they were off to the Steeler game today. Me? I was off to the fleamarket, I'd rather go there.LOL It turned out to be a beautiful day for both, a little breezy but sunny:)
This is what I got and as you can see it's a start of a new collection of Pfallzgraff and I'm excited!
I've always wanted this set ever since I saw
Linda's at Behind My Red Door! I got the cup, saucer and dessert dish for $7.00. The lady who was selling these plus the barnwood birdhouse was so nice, I stood there trying to make up my mind which one to purchase, the birdhouse was $8.00 both fair prices I thought. She had more birdhouses there and also two more sets of the Pfallzgraff but couldn't afford both... so she gave me both for $12.00, I got the birdhouse for $5.00:) What a nice person she was, I always like to meet people like that. I also found a hogscraper for $3.00 couldn't beat the price:) Saturday was the Halloween parade...this is the start of it with my old highschool band:) They had raincoats on but it had stopped raining.
Samantha as a ballarina:)

Sydney as Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz:)


There first house.

We are all wondering if Sydney will ever get teeth:) Chris said he can't remember her with them:) Poor thing she has such a time chewing.





The End




I wanted to show you these trees, I bet they are close to 100 years old, they are on a corner and to the right of them used to be my grade school, torn down, a house sits there now. I remember getting off the school bus right by the trees and hearing the scrunching of the leaves as you walked to school. I went there from kindergarden to 6th grade alot of good memories...just wanted to share:)
Well, the kids just called they want me to come down, they are carving pumpkins:)

  4. Hi Rondell~
    Great finds at the flea market! That would be where I'd rather go too. Flea markets, GW and local junk shops are my favorite places to go.
    The pictures of your little trick or treaters are just adorable! I love the toothless smile.
    Hugs to you~

  8. I love your flea market finds. You have a nice start to your dishes. I think that cup is a perfect size. Also a perfect day to take the girls out trick or treating. The trees are beautiful, I can remember scuffing my shoes through the leaves too.

  9. I'd rather go to the Flea Market or Goodwill over a ballgame myself! It sure paid off for you today---GREAT finds. I love this pattern also. Those two granddaughters are just beautiful. It's so nice to live close enough to enjoy their daily activities. I have that pleasure with my grandsons but not my granddaughters...it's tough!

  16. Rondell - Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Love you flea market finds; I have some Pfaltzgraff Folk Art somewhere in my inventory and I've been meaning to bring it out because it looks so great with the prim look...I just don't know which box it's in! LOL

  19. Going to a flea market is one of my favorite things to do! I kind of get overwhelmed with all the items/booths. :)

    The Halloween parade looked like so much fun! Your grand-daughters are so cute!

  20. A day at the fleamarket sounds perfect to me and good vendors make it so much sweeter. I love your new birdhouse.
    The girls look adorable all decked out in their costumes.
    Take care,

  21. Love your flea market finds, especially the Pfaltzgraff Folk Art dishes! I'm collecting them too and love them so much! Now I look for them everywhere I go, but have only found one salt shaker so far. The pieces I have gotten are from ebay. There are some great bargains to be found on ebay if you are patient. But then you have the shipping and insurance to deal with too. I am slowly, but surely filling up my cupboard.
    I'm excited that we have something else in common too! :)
    The girls look adorable in their costumes. My grandaughter is going to be Dorothy too.
    You have a great day!

  22. Rondell,
    Great finds at the flea market. I really do love that pattern, too. I never saw it until I started blogging and it's just wonderful. I think it's the blue that gets me because that's my fav color :)

    I chuckled when I read your comment about Sidney and her teeth. I swear Shane went a good year without his front teeth. The bottom two popped right back in but the top four in the front...just took forever. He's really still just getting the one eye tooth, so it's been like two years for that one! LOL It's been so slow!

    I'm sure you had a great time Trick-Or-Treating with the grandkids :) They both look adorable. My little Af decided to skip on the beautiful costumes and go with something that she thinks will scare others! LOL What a kid...next year we'll probably be back to being a Princess again.

    Thanks for your kind words and thoughts yesterday :) It really means a lot!

    Have a great day!

    Leslie
