That is just what I had on Saturday! If you follow this blog at all you may remember that I LOVE antiquing! Every year I try to make it to the Christie Antique Show in Dundas, ON which happened to be this weekend! My mom and I headed out at 7am and spent the day rummaging for fabulous finds! I had a GREAT time and my mommy pretended to enjoy herself, too! She is so incredibly good to me.
Here is what I brought home...
Love the desk! But the kids I already had! And they love the desk, too!
I sure do wish I had a much bigger budget! Maybe one like these two have....
Sarah Richardson and Tommy Smythe
If you are Canadian and love home decor shows on HGTV as much as I do then you will be familiar with this Dynamic Designing Duo! It was great watching them in action! I can't wait to see where they use the huge chandelier they bought.
Good times.
To make the "Perfect Day" even better my Mom (that woman who is incredibly good to me that I mentioned before) took my kids for the night. Rich and I were able to have a nice dinner including my absolute fav...
Boccoccini with Tomatoes and Fresh Basil!!!
It was a delicious salad with a nice steak and some quiet conversation with my sweetie to round out the night. Rare occasion, indeed! I never get a hot meal! And the kids had a good time at Nanny's! It was a really good day!
I was able to finish up my Prima class this weekend too! Here is a peek...
another peek...
I will be teaching this one at Tomorrow's Treasures in Smith's Falls on the weekend of June 5th and at Scrapalicious in Mississauga on Saturday, June 20th. This one is full of Prima, paint, glitter, foil, glitter mist and more.
Off to finish my 7 Gypsy's class! Have a good Monday!
Ohhhh what fun goodies you found! I have that same "Player" tin! How cool you got to see Sarah and Tommy in action!! I would of loved to of trailed them all over the place. LOL
Love your "sneak peeks"

oh dude - i feel SO SORRY for mama. how could you do that to her???
I'm going to have nightmares about that "hand" for weeks. do you have a question? someone has a question - a dirty blue hand with no body...
i have a few ideas what that could be used for...(but I'll keep them to myself).
I HEART Tommy (and Sarah too) SO JEALOUS you got to see them...that may have been worth five minutes of antiquing...

I love all the finds at the show. It sounds like a great day with MOM. I can't get enough of those days with my DD.
Love the Prima class samples. They look like great fun. Beautiful work as usual.
