Antique Booth Display Awesomeness!

 So Vickie, a talented dealer at Treasures Antiques, where I am a dealer,  rented a second booth, and moved her other booth so that she had two 12 by 6 booths that are across from each other. Then she built up the frame work of both booths, and painted them the same color ... which was very nicely done, but this week she came in and added antique, old painted, wood trim to top the walls of her booth. I think its the nicest display I've see.  Good job Vickie.  Here are a few pictures of the new set up.

 Below I have included a pano of the two booths to give you an idea of how it flows from one into the other!    Pretty fun eh?

Spring Festivus and Egg Hunting.

We had a ton of fun last weekend with our big egg hunt ... We try to have our Spring Festival before Easter, so that as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we can focus on the resurrection of Jesus on Easter, but still get all the fun of chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. 

Above are the two tables all set for munchkins and their parents for a traditional Easter Feast. 

As you can see I used the spray painted glass vases for our centerpiece at the main table.

Loved this picture of me with Lu and her cute brother photo bombing us from the hall. 

With dinner behind us, and the Easter bunnies having done their work, the kids gather, with 

their Aunt toting our one year old, all ready for the hunt!

I so wish I had caught the look on her face when her dad opened one of these pretties for her and she realized what was in them all!  It was a look of sheer thrill!

Lias had so many eggs he needed a second basket.

.. And a special thanks to Ben and Hanna won tried their paws at Easter Bunny this year!  They were awesome.

Heber Utah Flea Market at April James

 Spring time means good weather which means getting outside and doing lots of work, at least that what it meant for Mr. P. This weekend.

He needed to finish the new roof on one of our rental houses, of course he had lots of help from our four awesome boys, and even some from a daughter and a sweet d-i-l.

Then there was the hauling that needed to be done at home to render our lawn tree branch free for flea.o.logy next month. (We cut down two 110 year old Catalpa trees last November, that had died.)

I told him I needed to run up to Heber, to support friends who were doing the April James flea and  I was sure I would be home to help with the yard cleanup ...

 The flea was awesome ... this is her second year to have a monthly flea, but it was my first time to attend.  The 45 minute drive was beautiful, as a half an hour of that is through Provo canyon, and is lovely.

Love this bike, one of April's permanent displays.

 Found Jennine of Le Junk, with her usual assortment of awesomeness ...















Her sign below may be irreverent ... but as a small gardener myself, I completely understand the sentiment.

 Here I am with a few of my favorite flea.o.logy dealers, Angie, Kathy, Me, Jennine and Christine.

Angie is the American Homaker ... you just have to love her portable shop!

 ... and her new sign!

Christine is the head honcho of Vintage Yard Sale Utah, a very successful Face Book site.  And look, polka dot phones!!

 I think her card holder is the most creative use of a toy truck I have ever seen!!

To the right is Denise of Two Old Crows, another flea.o.logy veteran, she and Mark were set up on the other side of the shop and gave me a good deal on the treasure I found in their space.

 Inside of April's store are lots of wonderful shabby items.  April specializes in chalk paint and even teaches classes.  She is a very talented lady.

 I thought her banners were charming too, and you know how I love banners.

 Back outside I got to meet with another couple of dealers .... Emma Lee crafts with ephemera ... isn't the folded book art fun?

 I also liked the goodies that 'Three Shabby Birds' brought to the sale!!

Thanks for coming along, I hope you enjoyed the wander through a darling flea market.  We don't have the wonderful huge markets you find in other regions in the county, but I always love going and tend to find great priced goodies.  Of course getting to catch up with some of these amazing market vendors, always makes it a pleasant day for me.

... oh, and just in case you were wondering, I did get home in time to help Mr. P. with his third load and last load ... and I just have to say ... I am truly married to the energizer bunny ... (Maybe that explains the 10 kids?)
