sometimes, i need ME time

hi there! i made this 8x8 layout of the boys. it's a picture from our trip to hawaii earlier this year. it's such a treat to spot a sea turtle when in hawaii....the boys didn't really care for mr. turtle much. they were more interested in playing in the sand.
these cute turtles are from lawn fawn. PP is echo park. i glossy accented the turtle shells. love that stuff!

made a quick card while playing with echo park paper. the inside is also decorated.

i altered a $1 stamp replacing the birthday wishes with 'fishes'. get it?? ;) used the alphas form this lawn fawn set.

so.... sometimes, you just need "me" time, right? the last time the boys were at the antique flea market with me, i was constantly worried they'll knock over something priceless. so i told them next time, i'm going by myself and i did just that!
i got there by 8am and there were already a ton of people! look at this fun typewriter! how about a teeny tiny sewing machine?

you get an arm workout ironing clothes with these!

again, an arm workout with these ancient mixers!i so wanted this box of old threads. most of them were wooden. i think the seller was asking $30. (ouch)


such a pretty display!

lovely

remember this movie?

some noise makers...............i have noise makers of the human kind. their names are brandon & bryan. J/Kto just think, little girls played with these!




2 of those flower frogs came home with me.

love the watering can even if it was just for play.

just thought this was interesting.

so fun. i imagine this was in front of a store to keep a child busy while one of the parents were inside shopping.

i would've taken this owl home except his eyes look cockeyed! that would bother me :(


me & my sister actually had a KFC toy like this one when were were little. i remember having so much fun with it! it had stools inside and everything! this set here had cars but i don't remember our set having vehicles. BTW, did anyone remember the pies KFC had? lemon merigne, chocolate.....yum! they were individual sized! toys! the boys would have had a field day at this vendor's booth!


ultraman

lose your key? try finding it in here!

my regret is not picking up this strawberry water dispenser thingy at this stand here. it was only $2 too! whyyyyyyyyyyyyy didn't i get it? i didn't because i wasn't even halfway done at this point & i didn't want to lug it around. after i was done & walking back, i popped over there to see if it was still there and it wasn't. my mistake.

this lady who ran this stand had some great stuff! i ended up buying 2 bags of vintage thread spools and sewing notions from her. she gave me a deal too!

so much stuff!






i saw a lot of folks snatching up these folding measuring sticks.

cute display

makes me want to make some of these fabric pennants. i loved my morning walking through the antique flea market. it's good to have some "me" time now & then.

thanks for hanging in there to look through all my pictures! anyone have favorite flea market finds?

flash back

love this picture of my parents at their wedding banquet, hong kong-1968. my dad is so handsome & look at my mom! her makeup was so stylish! i made a scrap page out of this old photo. of course i scanned it and made it sepia tone for that old-age/vintage feel!
funny when i was working on this page, bryan kept on saying that this was "me, brybry" but the little guy who is in this bear suit, brandon, does not believe this is actually him! brandon, in this photo if i remember correctly, is about 3 months old.

layout #2 and trip to "japan"

so this is my 2nd page for bryan's scrapbook. remember, he'll be 2 years old january 29th so i am just a tad behind! i love his little expressions!


eddie decided that brandon could get a treat so we went to "japan" as brandon calls it. it's actually downtown LA but don't tell brandon that! we go to the same store we always go to & pick up 2 ultraman. what is up with him & ultraman? he must have about 2 dozen of these guys. if any bloggers out there EVER do go to japan, please let me know! i hear it's still pretty popular in japan. bryan in the above picture is trying to work the automated digital sticker pic machine.






now do these two look like they fight???? YES>
