More Antique Awesomeness

Jeremy and I went to Scott Antique Market for the first time earlier this month. If you've never heard of it, it's an antique market that's held every second weekend of the month and is in two buildings that together span 366,000 square feet......not to mention the outside vendors!



I was really in more of a lookin' mood than buyin' mood.....and I didn't have much cash on me either which I think is the only thing most vendors except.....at least shoppin' in my price range.

I wanted all this......




.....and this......who wouldn't love a giraffe with little tube things sproutin' from his head?




.....and then this. No smokin' in our house, but so what? That shit's just awesome.


...and Mr. Tiger.....despite the fact the he was very Ed Hardy-ish, I really loved him.



These guys....they were fantastical. Tennis playin' chipmunks. I woulda took 'em home and named 'em somthin' like Sampson and Borris and they coulda hung with Tina and her baby wolfcat, but at $245, they were a bit outta my price range.


So after hours of walkin' around that was pretty much all I found that I wanted. I'd say I much prefer Big Shanty, but we'll go back to this one when it comes back around....if only for the food.....

Jeremy had his first gyro ever and I had my first falafel ever. It was ok. I'm way to much of a meat eater to have truly enjoyed it though. Next time I'ma try my hand at the fried chicken, greens and macaroni and cheese covered in bacon. It all looked A-mazin'. I love food.

I can't believe we didn't see you that day! I'm thinking maybe Ed Hardy is that tiger-ish instead.
It is pretty crazy! We do plan on going back next month. There were some wooden wings an outside vendor had that I really loved.

.....and totally agreed as far as the tiger goes. Ed Hary's stuff is awesome, it's just too bad his art has been douchebagified by people like Paris Hilton.

yeah stuffed animals are expensive, when we were looking at houses a few years ago this one house was full of taxidermy and I almost stole a muskrat with a sun dress on.
You're right Super Blogger Girl! I hate it.....I've taken to buying little feltidermy animals on etsy......

Falafel is rad. I had my first one at the very first Lolapolooza that came through the NY/NJ area in 1991.

So yum!

APB....Little Jimmy is Missing!!!

It's December 1st and Little Jimmy shoulda made his first appearance at the house this morning. Evidently, I hid Little Jimmy so good that last time last year that even I can't find him. This is no bueno. Little Jimmy is an Elf on the Shelf . We read the book, he shows up in a different spot every morning and watches and reports back to Santa every night. Seriously. The boy gets it. He knows. The elf ain't nothin' but a stuffed doll. The girl....she still believes. She was snoopin' around a week or so ago and found the book that Little Jimmy is SUPPOSED to be stuffed in after Christmas and said "Mom! Little Jimmy's not in his book! He's gone back to the North Pole to get all his instructions!" "Dammit. She STILL believes in Little Jimmy", I remember thinkin'. I mean really, you try comin' up with 30 different hidin' spots for a little elf that won't take your kids more than a few minutes to find every mornin...

Oops! I Did It Again!

I wrecked my car.....again. Just a fender bender this time. I was in that awesome after work bumper to bumper traffic on the highway. I sneezed....and I sneezed again and again and then a snot rocket flew outta my nose. As I go to wipe the hangin' snot outta my nose....BAM. I hit a car. What really sucked was when I hit the car my snot covered hand slid up and smeared on the lense of my glasses. Awesome. Just fuckin' awesome and to top it all off, I got another ticket. I get home and I'm all pissy and shit. Jeremy says "Why you so pissy?" Uh, HELLO? I just wrecked my stupid fuckin' car! He says, "you're not used to that by now?" Admittedly, I've had a few problems with bumpin' into cars and other things here and there, but dang....it ain't like it's ever my fault. Psht. Like this one time, the girl was in the backseat and needed a kleenex. I turned around to gave one to her. I hit a car. It was dead stopped at a red light. ...

East Atlanta Strut 2010

I've been sewin' my fingers off tryin' to get ready for the East Atlanta Strut . It was the first show I had ever done and it was a BLAST! Bein' used to your standard kinda craft shows, you know the ones.....wood cut into silly stuff, marsh mellow guns, lace and potpourri, you can imagine my excitement when I was accepted to do the Strut, which ain't your mama's craft show. After three years, I've decided to give it a go again. I've really focused on my bears since that's what I really enjoy makin' and it's what everyone seemed to like best. You definitely won't find anything else like 'em out there! They're all sad lookin' and junk.....and people wanna hug 'em when they see 'em. I started sewin' these guys three years ago and after readin' an article in a magazine about a man that went to war, was burned badly while there and came home to his finance, married her and made babies with her despite all his s...
