This time of year brings some great sales in our midwestern area!!
Last night Bonnie and I headed over to our friend Dale's sale called THE FLEETING FLEA!! He has found a great location for his "pop up" vintage flea market and is now able to host several of these shows a year in an indoor location!!
Bonnie and I love to look at all of the gatherings and, with luck, we find a few treasures to bring home!
Here she is showing how cute she looks with a PINK princess phone!!
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the entire year. . .THE BINGHAM WAGGONER SALE!!! It's located on the grounds of a victorian mansion in Independence, MO!!
We always start the morning off with coffee and biscuits and gravy cause we've got to have strength to walk and walk and shop and shop!
Besides looking for treasures, my favorite part of this day is running into other friends who are also "treasure hunting" or are vendors!
Pictured below is Kathy. . .an awesome folk-artist and cat lover! I own many of her handmade items!! We became friends over the years through the various craft shows we have been in together.
Here's another special friend. . .Sharon (on left). We went to high school together!! I rarely see high school friends so this is always a treat to see her and the many "goodies" she and her sister bring to sell in their booth!!
THE STONE RABBIT is shown with some of the great items I found at the sale one year!!
Do you see those paper mache' planters in the foreground? Bonnie and I turned those into glittery jack-0-lanterns and sold them in our Fall craft shows!!
I can't believe another PINK SATURDAY has rolled around again. . .but it has!!
I sure hope you visit our great hostess Beverly, at HOW SWEET THE SOUND, because you will find lots of other bloggers who are ready to share their special pinks with you again!!

Looks like a fab time and any time with a friend is treasured! Turning the peat pots into Jack-o-lanterns is a great idea. Do you have pics?
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi Dana, Beverly just called me and mentioned the many errors I made in typing my post. I have never seen such a mess. HA! I can only say I had just taken a strong pain pill and in my past experience in writing when on pain pills, it shouldn't surprise me. Yikes. It took both of us to correct that mess. I just said, "I hope I didn't have any comments." Of course I did. Sigh! Not only the errors were many, I actually posted two times and the first one wasn't finished. I better not drive huh?
I can see you and Bonnie had a wonderful time at the sale. It is great to see friends at these sales. I hardly ever see my high school friends either. Funny, I just had an email from a friend I went to HS with. It has been an age since I have heard from her. We met when we were 10 years old. I was so pleased to hear from her. Love the photo of you both.
I am trying to picture how you made pumpkins out of those paper mache' pots. I know you did something fabulous. Smile! I noticed the Stone Rabbit got in the photo. He sure gets around.
Have a great weekend. Our summer has been wet but not hot at all. We still have nights of 53 degrees to the low 60's. I'm loving it!
Love, Jeanne
I noticed Bonnie had her junk Diva necklace on. I love mine. I had a wonderful time with all of you when we were together. I sure did find some good buys that day and lunch was awesome. A great memory and I still have to post about it. Don't give up on me Dana. I will post it soon.
