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 was just like going on a fun walk through a flea/thrift market!! Thanks for sharing - it's rainy and miserable here on Vancouver Island in BC.

Such wonderful things..love your pictures! And those doors are great!
Holly
I can hear jaws dropping all over blog land!
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.
~Bliss~
Wow. I am jealous of the wares AND the warm sunshine! Hope you have a blast!
Oh I love it all! The blue crock bowls are my favorite, I have several pieces of blue pottery in my kitchen. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait for Spring so we can get out and start going to outdoor sales.
Whow! I would simply LOVE to come across a sale like that around here! Thanks for the tour! from Marlynne at mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com
Holy wowza. That looks absolutely amazingggg! I would have left penniless (and in debt).
Be Still My Heart~ all those fabulous photos of vintage Treasures are keeping me warm on this very cold night....
I can't wait till spring, that will start the flea market season for me~
Thanks for sharing
Cheryl
A paradise indeed! I love it all but especially love the lamb statues, and the keys, and the suit case full of buttons!
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
oh, my goodness, what wonderful shopping (and pictures)! So many great items...the ornate glass bottles, keys, purple/white plates, Paris pillows...wish I was there.
Jill
Wow, I feel like I was there with you, what a wonderful time you had. I'm crazy about the tramp art piece. Sea Witch
Jaw-dropping indeed!!! Love so much of it... I am totally jealous! What a great day. I hope you brought home some fab treasures. I would buy the etched bottles and whatever the silver, maybe candlestick, behind them just to name a few. Great post... Thanks!!! ~Jen
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Great pictures Laura, I felt like I was there!
Didn't make it this year but I'm going to Webster tomorrow, hope they take their leftovers..
Glad we are having nice weather for you!!

Glad you got to go! Here I am right in town and I did not make it! I would have loved some of that vintage linen!!
Carol
oh ... my ... word!! My heart is literally racing. So much delight in one place. ::sigh::!!
Wow! They don't have sales like that around here.
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.
I am going crazy picking what I want. Love sooooo many things....like the box "Zum Andenken", translated "To Remember". And the pails in the next picture, and all the childrens clothing, and, and.....
Wish I could have seen it all. Why was your stay so short. You would have had to drag me away from there.
XOXO,Evi
PS. I am going to try to call you tomorrow.
What fun - especially loved the buttons ~ lol ~ thank you!
Oh my what didn't I see! I love the nesting box and have been watching for one here in Oregon. Thanks for sharing. We are having rain, rain and more rain! Enjoy the sun!
Now I can't believe we drove right by on Saturday and didn't stop...oh well...there's always February.
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.
Hugs,
Susie
WOW! You covered a lot of ground in such a short time. Love your selections-you've a great eye.
Best, Marjorie

Lucky lucky you!

Ohhh such wonderful things, loved the little panda in the drawer and the painting with the strawberries, and, and, and everything else.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss !!...and what did you buy???...love from me...xxx...
Wow, you took pictures of my booth. I was the green tent with the Paris Pillows and the blue/white headboard. It would have been nice to meet you. Thanks for finding me photo/blog mention worthy. Hugs
Becky
Yeah...I think that is what heaven looks like! There are no places like that around here.... I would want about one of everything!
Susan (homeroad)
I think that I saw a zillion things I want to bring home! Thank goodness I don't live near you!! Thanks for the tour and letting me live vicariously.
I have been recently seeing those olive buckets in the local antique shops here and some have been turned into hanging lights.
Laura,
OMG, What a great post! I have never been to that sale but it's on my bucket list. Picture after picture of glorious treasures! Anytime I see a table lined with boxes of littles filled to the brim I get kind of dizzy. That suitcase of lace was the topper! So what did you bring home?
Lisa
For months I had planned to go to Renningers but alas I had other obligations and was unable to go. Next month is the last time to catch the extravaganza until next fall so come hell or high water I'm gonna get there. I don't know how you did it in an hour and a half!
How many treasures! :)
Love your pics. Thanks for sharing. :) Can't believe I've lived in this area for more than 20 years and never made it to Renningers. Your pics make it all the more enticing. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
OMG! Are you kidding me? What great pics! I love all of it. The wash basins and the enamelware shots are especially great. What did you buy?
MC
I am drooling! What a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing. karen....
What a lovely walk I just had and I "bought" the strawberries painting!AriadnefromGreece!
What great weather you had for visiting this place full of wonderful goodies! Hope you found something special to take home.
Robyn
One day I'm so going to make it to this show...loaded with some wonderful goodies.
Blessings,
Linda
Laura, you seen things I didn't & I was there for two days! So sorry we didn't get to meet up.
I didn't get your e-mail until I made my way home yesterday(totally exhausted).
Hope you are enjoying your visit!
Love,
Debbie
I really enjoyed looking through these photos. My mom and I would go to Renniger's once a year for the longest time. We made it to the November event last year and I found so many goodies. And of course, the beautiful Florida "winter" :)
Happy treasure hunting in 2012!
Thanks for the tour of the flea! Fantastic! Always fun to see what markets have in other parts of our big USA.I would of come home with all the watch faces! Great to read all the pics from your readers!
Thank you for the great pictures, I appreciated seeing the prices on some of the items. I would have bought some buttons, lace and a dozen other items, what fun!
Can't believe you confined yourself to 1 1/2 hours. I would have been there all day. I don't sew, but that first little sewing machine was awsome.
Annette
Wow what a fab collection of stuff! You are so lucky to have access to all this. Love Linda x
Hi Laura~~ Well, it looks like you are having a great time with your dad. I would have loved MANY of those items.. What did you end up buying???
xo~Cheryl
I sure want to go kickin around in flea markets!!! I love those square crochet thingies, the watch faces, the little VINTAGE CLOTHES!!, the vintage fabrics, YUM!
Oh boy...I am lucky I didn't damage my keyboard from the drool! I can't wait to see what you chose from all those fabulous treasures! Thank you for sharing your day ♥♥
I am so impressed that you found and photographed so many wonderful treasures...in such a short amount of time, Laura! It usually takes me that long to look through one decent-sized booth. ;)
Blessings,
Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage
Wonderful photos! I could live there!
Awesome stuff!!! I wish I could see that price tag on the small sewing machine (not the Singer)...I just found one for $20 and was wondering what they are selling for. I sure could have had fun in that crochet lace and the buttons! And warm and sunshine! Thanks for the eye candy!
Faye
Thank you. It was a blessing to see a great place while I'm trying to survive in this cold climate.
LuAnn
NICE! Really enjoy your blog!
Thank U for shearing! Eye-candies!
Love from Norway
Wow!
Did I say wow?!!!
Great "stuff"!
You spied a lot of stuff in a short time! Gosh I haven't been there in years, would love to go back some day!
tot
I just love how your pictures take me right to the action, as if I were there!!!! So many great treasures Laura.
hugs...
These photos make me want to go flea market shopping sooooo bad! lol! What great stuff! :)
xoxo laurie
I love these fleaing trips with you! It is a little frustrating not to be able to take those lambs home to my collection, but I save so much money!
Your photos just proves that great treasures are everywhere. I loved the blue suitcase, red peeling painted birdhouse and those old children shoes were adorable. I also spotted the old blue Reed roaster! I have one in the exact same color that I found at a Goodwill on 12/31/10 for $2.25. Thanks for sharing.
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 !!
Hope that poor Mr. Flea is keeping warm and having a few brandies or scotch !! XXXX
Oh my!!!! Wish I had been there. I want it all!!
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.
OOOOHHHH look at all of those great treasure just calling my name:) Counting the days until the Elephants Trunk opens up. Thanks for the tour.

I found something in every picture... I need to get out and get a "fix" !!!

Love the pics, the bride doll in one of the pics looks just like one I had many years ago...once when I was little!!
All I can say is wow!!!! Boy, I wish I could have gone to this one...a little bit of heaven for an Alaskan where treasures are few and far between!!

Oh yes, please bring me home a handful of watch faces. Sounds like you had fun. I hope Renningers has lots of neat things like you showed at the PA show in June.
Absolutely, I'll take the Elmira NY. glass bottle in the one pic.(next to the etched one)
Looks like you had a great time and perfect weather.
Have a wonderful weekend.
