Renningers Extravaganza - Quick!


We spent a quick hour and a half 
at Renningers Extravaganza in Mount Dora Saturday.
Please enjoy these photos of things I spied
 in that short amount of time!


























































While Dad and I were enjoying the Florida sunshine...
...poor Mr. Flea was shoveling snow in New York.
Well, at least he can ski now!

Hope you enjoyed this long post of our quick tour...
...did you see anything you might have wanted to bring home?

    That looks like a pickers paradise. (Hey good name for a blog, bet someone used it already). Nugget & his girls could use that chicken nester, I like those keys and old doors and how cute are all those paintbrushes together.

    Shoot! I was GOING to go; I live in south Orlando. I had to go meet some folks at a park this end of town. I'd planned since Christmas to get out to Mt. Dora on Saturday. Then I just let today fly by. THANK YOU so much of sharing your photos. YES, I saw some goodies I'd have stopped and looked at. It was fun. Jan

    My heart was beating fast just looking at all of those treasures. The blue crock mixing bowls, the lambs with the antique picture, that pink froo-froo dress, just everything. I can't wait to see what you brought home from this wonderland. Now I must go back and enlarge each picture to study what I may have missed when I looked at it before.

    Wish I could have seen it all. Why was your stay so short. You would have had to drag me away from there.

    I love the tramp art box and how cool that Evi was able to translate...really special!

    Have a great week, and so sorry that Mr. Flea is shoveling snow. I've definitely got a touch of Spring Fever and planted some seeds today. Flowers always make me feel happy.

    Oh WOW Laura,
    Usually when you show flea markets there are a few things that maybe I wouldn't have bought but, I think that I could have bought every single thing !!!! There's no point in me telling you the individual things that I like as I LOVE it all !! At my age I should be getting rid of things but I seem to be buying more. All I can say is that it's a good job that I don't live where you live !!

    Laura, The BIG lock caught my eye because I purchased its twin with my Christmas Gift Certificate @Jane Tylor's Cottage Garden Antiqyes in Gainesville Ga Saturday. Wouldn't it be fabulous to have a pair! Anyway I thought you might like to look at a post called Road Trip: The Incredible Jane 7-24-10 on the Sassytrash blogspot. I don't know the blogger but I know Jane and her art is amazin'. Check out her 15 ft tall angel wings that she welded together.
