Did you miss me? ~

HEY YA'LL!

I'm back. I was only gone a week on my trip, but it took me awhile to get organized, motivated and settled.  I had a great time on my road trip, even though the weather was rainy.  I drove to VA to see Luckett's Antique Store and then kept driving until I hit NJ.  My trade show in NJ was near the Meadowlands Stadium so I just HAD to check out their flea market Sat. morning. First things first though:

Luckett's was cool.

I got there 2 minutes after they closed though, not good. Traffic and weather held me up. This is what I drove in most of the way:

It was just gross.  

Since I didn't make into the store the first day, I went back the next day and shopped, and shopped.  Here are a few pics of the inside. Not great cell phone shots, but I didn't want to take my big camera in. I just thought that would be too weird and didn't know if they would like that or not.

Found her! Had to check out this booth. One of my favorite bloggers.  What you don't know is that this is on the third floor. Ok, maybe you did know that. But the stairs are STEEP! I can't believe she has to haul all her furniture up 3 flights of stairs!  I don't think I could do that.  I haul too much junk in as it is. On the other hand...I would probably weigh 100 pounds. 

I wanted this table. But it was a little too expensive for me to re-sell and I don't have room for it in my house. It was gone when I went back at the end of the week....C'est la v1e....

Loved this chest. So pretty. 

This corn bin from the Shenandoah Valley came home with me..I love it. I had a piece of glass under my bed for 2 years, and now it has a home. 

One more shot.

So all in all it was a fun road trip.  The flea market at the Meadowlands was not the best.  It was a bunch of new socks and shirts and not much of the old stuff that I like. I'm still glad I checked it out though.  

So there you have it. I made it to Luckett's. I have taken pics of the rest of the loot I came home with which I will show you in the coming days.

The rain just didn't let up. It was constant and annoying.

ROAD TRIP! ~

I'm road trippin' it to NJ!  WOO HOO, can you sense my excitement? You'll be even more excited to know that I'm on my way to a trade show for the laundry and dry cleaning industry!  I know, contain yourself!  We manufacture machines that make really cold water for dry cleaning machines and for other industries. 

Anyway, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to check out Luckett's Antique Store in Luckett's, VA.  One of my favorite bloggers (she really is a rock star!) was going to be working her space and I thought she would love to meet one of her stalkers! Who could it be but: MISS MUSTARD SEED!

Oh what could have been. I got there 2 minutes after they closed. Of course, I have no idea if she was even there all day, but just 2 minutes late, and I couldn't even shop!  I have an empty truck too!

The weather was nasty all day and the traffic was horrible! So that put me behind schedule.  How many exclamation points should I use??!!  I will just have to check it out in the morning along with some other junk spots I found.  See? I was there and will be again tomorrow.

You can't tell, but that red Expedition is EMPTY!

I wonder if there are any cake bites left?
