When you least expect it........


Out Antiquing....






Last Saturday was a beautiful bright sunny day, so we hopped into the truck and took off

to the 400 Market/ Road Show Antiques. 


Over 30,000 square feet of Antiques........

Everything from soup to nuts!!!!

You never know what you might find....

WELL!!!! To my surprise tucked under and in behind...........


I have been searching for this apple box for years....... It measures 23" x 11"

I have found many over the years on  my travels but way out of my budget range.......

So after digging it out I was amazed it was only $45.00........

YIPEEE!!!! This is going home with me.....

Now this booth had so many items that I could have loaded up the back of the truck with...

But hubby pulled on my reins and said.............






I can't wait to decorate it, .......... for Harvest time.....Christmas...... and, and, and






You see the faux pears that are in it came at no extra cost......as well as a few extra pieces that

I'm going to share at a later date.

So can you see why I got so excited...... Now we are on another isle and I spot this little gem.

This small transfer ware soup tureen.





 It may be missing its ladle but It's going home with me.
At $23.00 and made in Japan I wasn't leaving it behind.

Hmmm I can see this as a planter or part of my Harvest display with my other  brown transferware dishes.

So I do believe I had a wonderful day antiquing in this fun Truck.

.


So when you least expect it.............


Thanks for visiting!

    Does driving the antique truck make it easier for your husband to enjoy the antique market? What fun! I looked at the link and I thought 'that's my sort of place'. There was nothing like that when we lived in Borden or Newmarket. Lovely finds!

    That apple box is gorgeous!!! Which market were you at? You mentioned that you were in the Brantford area so I'm wondering if you made it to Waterford (where I have my booth).

    Marvelous finds! Love your tureen and that bowl - I showed my husband the truck - he's working on restoring an old 53 Chevy truck. Love the red color.
