Road Trip Day 4

Today is the last day of our four day adventure.

Oh why does it have to end???

We truly had a blast and found some wonderful shops along the way!!!

On our last day we attend the Elkhorn Flea Market.

This had to be the largest show I ever attended in Wisconsin.

There was 500+ vendors ~ we never got through the whole show before it came to a close at 3:00 p.m.

Let's see what we can find ~

Did you see anything that caught your eye???

Flea Market Season is Starting!!!

This is my favorite time of the year!!!

I Love to go traveling and find goodies and make friends along the way!

I also Love to share the places I visit and the treasures I find.

Over the weekend we headed to Princeton's Flea Market.

(They are celebrating 40 fabulous years)

This is a fun market to attend ~ not only do they have a big variety of wares to sell they also have food vendors on the grounds ~ I must say the donut vendors were drawing me in!!!

We had blue skies ~ if it wasn't so windy we would of had a beautiful day!

Lets go traveling shall we and see what we find!

Of course my favorite booths are where the primitive wares are!

Great display for your primitive gardens ~

My niece bought the wagon ~ I think it will look adorable with a big pot of geraniums!

Love pocket watches ~ reminds me of my Dad

~A variety of wares~

Love grey enamel ware!

This & That!!!

Yep ~ I'm trying to play catch-up Again!!!

The days of summer are just to darn busy ~ always something to do or that needs to be done.

What happened to the Lazy Days???

So lets catch-up with what has been going on the last couple of weeks.

If things are going to happen they are going to happen to me!

I finally got my husband to cut all my boards for me ~ for making signs.

I was sitting outside going through all my stencils ~ and what in the world is

THIS???

It landed on my arm. Oh my gosh I went into a fit ~ screaming ~ arms flying ~ jumping around like my pants are on fire.

Seriously ~ wouldn't you???

My neighbors probably get a good laugh out of me

"That's Robin ~ she must of seen a bug or something"

Look at those Antenna's on that thing!

If that's not enough

One weekend I was to meet my sister Sandy at a Flea Market

When this happened ~ Let the 3 fur babies out before I had to leave ~ mind you all Golden Retrievers

I told all 3 ~ I'm running late ~ go do your thing and get back up to the house.

Two of the dogs went to the back yard ~ the youngest of the three went the other way ~ I yelled at him and said Buster get out in the back yard ~ get out of my Hydrangea bushes. All of sudden he yanked his head out and was shaking it back and forth so fast ~ I thought what in the world is he doing ~ I kinda squinted my eyes and thought to myself ~ That's an awfully fluffy toy ~ Then ~ You don't have a toy that looks like that ~ I walked closer to the railing on our deck and realized it was a raccoon ~ Oh my Lord!!! I started screaming trying to get him to drop this animal and also trying to keep the other two away ~ when he finally dropped it ~ the darn thing would run towards me hissing and putting his paw up ~ then one of the other dogs would snatch it up. I kid you not I was screaming "PLEASE ~ Someone help me" for over twenty minutes. ~ Yes some neighbors were outside ~ NO - NOBODY came to help me ~ I was exhausted. When I finally got all the dogs up on the deck ~ I had to call my neighbor to get rid of the raccoon. Poor thing was suffering.

To top it off ~ When I was walking one of my dogs on the walking trail behind my house last night there were 3 raccoons down there. Do you think they were looking for REVENGE??

O.k. on to better and brighter things!

I did make it to the Flea Market and found a few treasures.

Yep ~ Some more bottles ~ the tallest one is an old juice bottle with a child's face imprinted in the glass and the other bottle is an old baby bottle with dogs imprinted in the glass and a cute creamer spoon.
