I went to the vintage Junque Fair this morning!

I was super exctied about the Vintage Junque Fair! until my alarm went off at 6:45! OY Vey! i got up anyway, threw on some clothes and took off for the Fair! YAY! i knew i was there when i found a long line of cars parked in the Mesa historic district!



As soon as i got there i saw a blogger! Cami had some dang cute binky holders, makes me wish i had a binky using baby! there was totally the cutest baby stuff there and I don't have a baby, i could resist lots of the boy stuff, but the girl stuff makes me baby hungry again! Yikes! i'd love to have a baby girl and have the pleasure of purchasing the dang cutest baby stuff ! big flower bows, and cute blankets and burp clothes! yeah i passed most of it by, since it isn't in my scope of purchasing right now. good thing, 'cuz I'd go broke.

then I saw Onehm and i met Michelle! and I bought this fabulous Halloween necklace! YAY!
I wAs tOtaLLy tHeRe
jUsT tO gEt ONE oF hEr CuTe pEnDaNtS!
isn't this so cute?
I oWn IT! back off you can't have it!


and then i found some fabulous Milk glass there was a lace edge footed bowl, and a taller footed compote and heavenly day, a fantastic set of hobnail pots a small one and a bigger one! whoohoo and let me tell you they were one and two dollars! i asked about the first one, and she told me it was OnE dollar! HELLO! give me all of those! for a grand total of 6 bucks! I know! love it!

and then i looked around a little longer and then left.
i spotted Jill talking to someone but for some reason i felt intimidated by all the cool people there. silly I know but they are all so
"vintage chic", funky and cool.
which i am none of!
i know! i am an adult, i shouldn't care, but yeah i am still insecure, and yes i read their blogs, and feel like i know them but they just might not know me. so i bought my stuff and bailed.

THEN...

I got home and sat in the drive-way for like 10 minutes!

and decided i need the chicken shaped egg basket i saw there for $6 dollars and hoped the shabby wire basket was still there. It was worth a shot! so i rushed back to the fair!

when i got to the spot i had seen the wire basket, it wasn't where i had seen it! (sad) and my heart sunk and the dread of missing out on a fabulous basket i had already pictured for holding fruit or mail was gone! Then, the heavens parted and i saw the light! the light was shining on my basket hiding, in the back to the side, I asked if it had been sold and it hadn't, so i bought it too! heavenly day fantastic! whoohoo!

a great day already!

have a fantastic day ! may all your plans come to fruition and your bargains be there when you go back for them!


**I would totally post some pictures of my fabulous finds, but my 8 year old is harassing me to let him use the computer again since i kicked him off to post! but for sure ,Later!

HOW FUN! I've never been there. Sounds like a totally neat place w/ tons of awesome stuff to choose from! I want to see the pictures of your other items, they sound so cute!

I love stuff like that. There is a place here called Garnder Village. I bit pricey, but fun to shop. Sounds like you had fun wish I could have been there. Lets plan on lunch in 2 weeks when I'm visiting. Can't wait to see your naughty body:)

It was soooo fun to meet you! I was hoping that you would be there! Let's for sure go to lunch! It sounds like you found some wonderful things!!! I too was wanting some of that baby stuff! I just don't have anyone young enough anymore! :( With the round of nausea I have had the past few weeks, I think I am reminded I am totally done with babies. Unless someone wants to be kind enough to hand one to me! :) I hope your having a happy afternoon!

Totally LOL about you turning around and driving back to get the stuff you decided you wanted. That's really something my sister or I would do, and have done before!! I want a cute Halloween necklace!
