Bardstown Day Trip

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day! We had planned our annual trek to Bardstown, KY to go to the antique show at the high school. We stopped at Hardees in Jeffersonville and munched on ham and sausage biscuits and then hit the road. Stopped at three yard sales on the way and then hit the antique show! It was nice as usual and we found a few goodies!

I found some fun stuff for my etsy shop and the all time find was Katie the Carrot (one of Mr. Potato Head's friends) that I had been looking for! I needed this exact version for one empty spot I had next to the two others in the series! Woo Hoo! Found it!

I also got a sweet little box of crayons for my collection, an Annalee character from 1991 (25 cents at the Relay for Life yard sale) and 5 Christmas stockings filled with goodies, never having been opened! I really want to keep all five but one or two may end up in my etsy shop next Christmas! Children's books of course, a fantastic Montgomery Ward catalog from 1923 in incredible condition and a little gift for Tim.

After we left the show, we headed downtown and ate lunch at the drug store soda fountain! They had Easter merchandise half price and mom treated me to a few little foil wrapped bunnies for my Easter tree! They are adorable! We walked around downtown a bit, hit a couple of antique stores and the Peddler's Mart and finished the day up with ice cream from Baskin Robbins.

All in all, a fabulous day with the Three Musketeers!

Half Price Easter Candy

Love me some Russell Stover chocolate covered marshmallow candy Easter eggs!

Since we will be experiencing a holiday dry spell until Halloween season, I was at Walgreens door at 8am Monday morning to stock up on these at 50% off! Can't beat that!

Well, the Peeps I got for Tim a couple of days later for 10 cents a box does beat that but I don't like Peeps!

I'll just stick to my eggs!

This Bunny Got Forgotten

Ooops! Somehow the picture of my paper mache light up bunny didn't make it up in the last post! So, here he is and two more egg dye boxes I had forgotten!

Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail

I love vintage Easter stuff, can you tell? I especially have a fondness/weakness for vintage egg dye packages! It's hard anymore to find a pack or a box I don't already have! I also love the vintage plastic candy containers, cardboard candy boxes, advertising signs, wrapping paper, stuffed bunnies and even unique bunny related items, like the crayons, board game and safety pins!

A large part of my collection is housed in a beautiful old wooden bookcase that came out of the original Madison, IN library. It stands in our front foyer so I see it every single day! I have another small glass case that holds overflow and then other items are mixed all around! The large pink paper mache rabbit holding the purple Easter egg was purchased on our honeymoon and his eyes light up!

Well, that's all folks! Happy Easter!

Is This a Library or What?

Mom and I recently went to a great book sale and of course I scored some great books for my Etsy shop! I just recently finished putting them all away!
