Hi ya'll!

I ventured on down,

the whole 3 miles from my house,

to Renningers Flea Market this morning!

I just LOVE a good flea market

and I'm sooo happy that it's that

time of year here again in Florida..

Not to mention, one of the best

Christmas is almost here,

up on me this year.. LOL

Birthday Trip to West Palm Beach

Good morning everyone!!

Sorry I haven't been around much as of late..

But, I have a good excuse!

It was my birthday yesterday, and Mr. Ruffles and I

took a trip to West Palm Beach again this past weekend.

We had a wonderful time, and he was such a trooper

antiquing and thrift store shopping with me, yippee!!

Without further ado.. here are my pictures I wanted

to share with you all:

View from our hotel room.

Beautiful sunrises in the morning... ahhh...

We were driving around looking for

antique malls and thrift stores,

and out of the corner of my eye

I saw THIS:

I just HAD to park the car to

see what it was all about..

and, oh my gosh.. lemee tell ya..

My heart skip a few beats!!

The next pictures are what was

inside the house...

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

Upstairs was a kitchen

with a turquoise fridge!!

Lots of painted furniture..

Shabby Chic'd chairs..

All Rachel Ashwell (Shabby Chic)

duvet covers, sheets, baby blankets, etc..

The price for a King Duvet?

$350! Yikes!!

Looking down the stairs

Sooo cute!!

I told Mr. Ruffles I wasn't leaving

and I was moving in.. LOL

We eventually did leave..

(Insert sad face here.. hehe)

But, we ended up at Hillsboro Antique Mall:

I was only able to take a picture

of the entrance, since they didn't

allow camaras inside.. Sorry!

I was, and still am, on the hunt

for an antique dresser for our bedroom..

Sadly, no luck the entire trip.. sigh..

~

That evening we enjoyed an

awesome dinner at a local Irish Pub.

Yummy Scotch Eggs, steak & tatos

and, of course a few beers..

This is my cute bartender! LOL

Here are some pictures of a

few of my finds on our trip:

Isn't this the most darling piggy bank?!

Ruffles!!

A HUGE cake stand.. this baby is heavy!

Hand painted rosey plate:

2 Tea Cups and saucers:

An extremely HEAVY antique mirror..

I can't wait to get my hands on a

paintbrush for this one!!

Another mirror and a couple of planters..

White locker baskets..

And, yesterday, for my birthday,

Mr. Ruffles even made me cake!!

He said the cake spells out:

"Happy Birthday, Tynk"

Um.. yeah.. I don't see it either! LMAO!!!

I'm Back... Finds & My Visit...

Finally I have some time

to sit down and share with ya'll!

I have been keeping up

(to a point)

with your blog posts,

creations and emails..

But, I still feel I'm behind somehow!

I visited my booth yesterday

to put more things inside

and totally forgot my camara!

Sheesh!!

I am going back tomorrow,

and promise to bring my camara.

In fact, my camara is already

in my purse, so I don't forget!

I also did a little thrifting

and antiquing yesterday.

Here are a few of my finds:

Sweet little step ladder...

Laundry bag and

HUGE basket...

This is a mirror, but,

I got a jumpstart on it

this morning and already

took the mirror out

before I took the picture...

I scored all of these

blue Ball jars for FREE!

(My sweet gramma gave

them to me...

Thanks Gramma!!)

I found this Raspberry Soda

bottle top advertisment.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

2 metal vintage picture frames

and

an antique mirror and brush..

Close up of the brush..

LOVE.

I also wanted to share

this picture of my Gramma...

I visited with my Gramma

when I took a trip to

Michigan a week ago.

She's in a home, and hooked up

to oxygen 24/7 now.

(insert sad face here.)

She always enjoyed the beach,

and I can remember her

taking me to the beach

when I was a kid quite often..

Soo, being that she is on oxygen

and in a wheel chair,

Mr. Ruffles & I decided that

if she can't get to the beach

we'd take the beach to her!!

We took a kiddie pool

and filled it with beach sand,

a bucket & shovel, pinwheels

and a beach ball.

We even found a citronella candle

that looked like a mug of frosty beer!!

She thought it was real at first

and pulled up her nose... hehehe!

I also saw my 3 year old grandson

on the other side of the state.

I had a blast with him

swimming, shopping and sidewalk chalking..

That's my son and my grandson..

Love those kids!!!

I had a great time in my

homestate of Michigan..

But, it's soooo good to be home!

Awesome Thrifting Goodness!

My day yesterday started out with a big *sigh* ~ as I detest running errands..

I did end the day feeling quite accomplished, though!

I started the day out about 10am, and finally finished my running around at around 3:30pm.

No sence in going home, Mr. Ruffles doesn't get home until 5:30pm, so, I figured I had time to kill at a couple of thrift stores.  (I even squeezed in some time at a local antique mall)  Man o man, I am glad I did! Wait.. just wait till you see what I found and took home with me!!

No furniture ~ althought I really wanted to buy a couple of peices ~ I showed Mr. Ruffles my finds last night and he says, "I thought you weren't buying anymore until you had some of the other done?"  I corrected him and said, "No.. I said I wouldn't buy anymore FURNITURE until I had some of the other done.." hehehe!!!

Ok, without further ado, my thrifting finds yesterday:

Gorgeous shabby rose platter with gold trim

Wire basket

AWESOME turquoise enamel ware

Letter holder & gold mirror frames (yep, gonna paint these!)

White wire basket

Check out the cool pink phone!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

It's a note card and pen holder. The middle says, "Dial Me"

So cute!!

3 little Homer Laughlin plates

Another close up pic of the phone

and I wrapped these blue colored vintage books in burlap

 Picture frame

Wine bottle corks

Huge bag of buttons

Vintage Pink thread

Apothecary jar

Galvanized flour scoop

Galvanized tall pail

Insert Happy Dance here!!!

More RUFFLES!!

And, I found this set of skeleton keys at the Antique Mall.

I finished the day off by texting Mr. Ruffles he needed to take me out to dinner.  We ate a pretty awesome restaurant that is set up on the beach of a small lake nearby, and ate outside. ahhhh... :)
