~ Don' t you love Antiquing~

Leaving the mountainFirst Stop Gardenerville, Nv for the Antique car show...Len just love these shows and why not he has 10 cars of his own...I collect inside antiques and he collects old cars...

My Favorite shop in Gardenerville is the Cheshire Antique shop...This is where I got my Candy cabinet.

I love this french stuff...

Beautiful sewing machine

Beautiful silver

French empire dining room set

Griffith dining room table...bigger than mine

Wow !! can you believe the price and that's without any chairs or china cabinet or side board...makes me glad I got my complete set back in 1980..Look at the dust on this table for that price ha ha!!

I wanted to bring her home But no room left at the Inn for another one ha ha!!

Snicker's the shop cat...Don't you love the way it is laying too funny!! Just in case you might want to give it a belly rub ha ha!!

This trip we did last Saturday and look on the way home what I seen...the end to a perfect day for Len and me...
May all of you have a Blessed weekend...Candace got off bed rest today and headed out of town for a wedding...She went to the doctor this morning and he told her to go...wants her up and walking now...baby has turned or as the doctor put it "baby is locked and loaded ready to go" She is due a month from today...but the big crisis is now over with all we have to do now is play the waiting game Thank God...I still have to take her 2 times a week to hospital for her NST test to make sure all is well...But she's won't have to take meds after Sunday night to stop the contractions...Thanks again for all your prayers for her and Landen James...Oh I can almost smell that sweet baby boy...
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

~Under the Freeway~

I just love going to Sacramento Antique Faire...I call it Second Sunday because that's the only way I can remember when it is....This event is held each month and it's under the freeway...and you just never know what your find there...

Why just look at soon as I got there I ran into Dawn from a "Cottage State of Mind" Isn't she lovely...Now I knew she was going to be there but I didn't know until 6am I was going to be there...
Len had mentioned on Saturday night about going...But I kept saying it's so hot out and I can't handle this heat...But Len is one stubborn Indian and kept bugging me about if we leave early enough we could go...Now this is the man that don't get out of bed until 10 AM each day telling me if we leave EARLY!! ha ha!!

So off we went...Dawn was there with her soon to be Sister in-law Tracy...These 2 our also great junkin friends...We visited for about 20 minutes and then off we went our separate ways...Hey !! we were both on a mission to find the hidden treasure that lied under the freeway...

Len loved this old diving helmet...but at $1200.00 he just walked away

Sea shells and moss...Not my thing so I walked away...

I did love this sweet little rocking horse...I could just picture my new almost Great grand baby Landen James enjoying this...sighs

Loved these sweet chairs and they were only $15.00 with the flowers...Not bad at all...I wanted to bring one of them home...Until Len reminds me that I had a barn full of old chairs I still have not done a thing with...I could slap him silly when he does that ha ha!!

Loved this Baby bath tub...Sweet I could just picture this with flowers in it....

Love the Green canisters...Oh girls I need a Green kitchen now ha ha!!!

Love these old signs...the one that says Pine Grove that's where my Granddaughter lives...

Len!! Back away from the slot machines...Did I tell you this man loves old slot machines...He now has 15 of them...why can't he collect stamps or coins...I keep telling him with him being Native American I'm going to open a casino here and make some money if he don't stop with the slots...

Loved the old Edison horn...But I already have one...

Loved this dresser...but loved seeing Len in the mirror looking like a deer caught in the headlights...I can just tell he was happy this piece was sold...

Loved this sweet little pedal fire truck...

Beautiful old cream desk and chair...

Oh and this "Tiny Tears " doll just brought back so many fond memories to me...As this was the only doll I ever had as a kid and I just loved her to death....sighs! But she was $350.00 with the case and clothes...I think my mama bought mine for $10.00 back in 1951 and that was allot of money then...I can still remember how much I wanted this doll so when Santa Claus gave her to me I just cherished it...

Beautiful old stain glass windows...

Dress forms...I know allot of you gals love these things...The one looks like she had too much to drink and spilled it on herself...ha ha!!

Hope you enjoyed the under the Freeway today...and Yes I did get stuff...Now really you know I would not come home empty handed...ha ha!! As soon as I get it out of the 4 runner I will show it to you...I know , I know I said with my last purchase of the "Nuts and Bolt Cabinet" I had spend my Antique budget for the year but now I'm digging into my pedicure budget for the year ha ha!! Hey it works for me...Why I saved Len so much money yesterday I can buy cheap nail polish and do my own toes...

May all of you have a GREAT day...I have to get to Candace's house and help her now with cooking and laundry...She's getting so bored just sitting around and waiting for Landen James to be born...But we have been working on things for her upcoming baby shower in Aug...Thank you once again for all your prayers for her and Landen James...Your the best my friends...I really don't know what I would do without my support system in blog land...Can you love people that you have never met?? You bet you can!! Love ya Guys...

Until next time from my mountain to yours,

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

~ SECOND SUNDAY HAPPINESS~

Oh Guys....what a great weekend I had....YAHOO!! I finally got to meet Dawn at a "Cottage State of Mind" don't you just love her blog name...We had been trying to meet up at the Second Sunday swap meet for 2 months....Oh girls I was so excited to meet her...Now of course on Saturday my first thought was how can I lose 20 years of wrinkles before I meet her ha ha!!! Her first thought was Why am I having a Bad bang day....any other day they fall right into place but not this day ha ha!!! It's so funny what goes through the minds of women...But you know first impressions and all...Now everyone knows how much I love going to this swap meet each month...but this was a very special day for me...Not only all the fun things they have there...but meeting Dawn was just PRICELESS to me.... Here's Dawn and me...And No I didn't lose the wrinkles ha ha!!!

And Dawn got so excited when she found this Red Tole hand painted tray for her cottage...I think her smile says it all...Of course I asked the lady at the booth "What her best price was" ha ha!! she got this tray for $25.00 and it's so Dawn....You see Dawn still to shy to try and bargain with these people...But I'm not ha ha!!! here I'm a pro at getting them down on the prices...

This is Dawn's Mama Grace and what a kick she was...Now this one was loving all this great stuff she found and she's a well seasoned shopper she didn't have a problem asking what their best offer was....I really enjoyed meeting this lady...Is she not pretty...Boy she was in her glory digging in boxes and looking under tables for treasurers to take home...But kept saying I wasn't going to buy anything...But she sure had that purse of her opened buying stuff ha ha!!!

Here's Dawn and her SIL Tracey...Now this one is furnshing a new home and found some of the most greatest chairs for her living room...Her Dad does upholstery and will redo them for her...She also was a kick to meet...always laughing and smiling....I think she had a great time at least they all said they would be back again...

Now this sweet Dawn did not come empty handed...Just look at all the goodies she brought me...I love the blue/white trivet I can hang it in my kitchen and always think about her each day...

These sweet Little gift tags...

A sweet little dinner bell...and you know what I have a tea cup to match this...Maybe a new Tablescape coming up...and look at the dainty little hankie with the pretty hand made lace on it...

Oh a sweet little picture frame....Love all the dainty flowers on this...I'm going to put Dawn's and mine's picture in this...

But hold everything...not only did she bring me goodies...but even brought this olden car gift tags for Len...can you believe that...Len was so touched by this...As she had them made for him...Now on Saturday someone hit a power pole up here on my Mountain top so all of a sudden I'm without power until 1;30 am...I was so excited when they got it up and running again...as you see my house is all electric including the hot water heater...so right away I'm thinking how can I take a shower even if they don't get it fixed at this point it was never mind losing the 20 years of wrinkle it was OMG I hope I don't stink ha ha!!! And how can I even curl my hair...OK I got a ball cap that will work...but the stinky part ha ha!!! Oh girls by the end of the day I felted like I have known this young woman all my life...I don't even think I looked at that many things as Dawn and I were so busy talking....Please if you have not met her do yourself a BIG favor she is just a wonderful young woman...And I so look forward to seeing her again at the swap meet...Now I'm also sorry I have not been able to get back to people today...As the power company came out to redo over head lines so we were without power again...Do they not know they cut off my lifeline when they do that ha ha!!! All day today as each room I went into I turned on the lights Duh !!!

May all of you have a Great day...and Now I need to go see what I have been missing in blog land...

Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria

Thank you so much for coming by and seeing me...It does mean the world to me...
