The Dallas Flea

This Saturday we headed to South Side on Lamar for The Dallas Flea.

There were a ton of vendors selling vintage and beautiful handmade items.

 (can you spot the Munchman scoping out the wares?)

Munch was soon searching for an exit though. Maybe crafts and vintage treasures aren't his thing. Hmmm...

South Side on Lamar is a pretty narrow space and not the easiest to navigate with a stroller and two kids. While trying to look at all the wonderful items, I was reminded why I don't generally like to bring the kiddos along on these adventures.

I did get a couple goodies though.
Kayla of Cole Paper Co. was there and I purchased an L print for the boys art wall in their hallway and a pretty postcard with a Audrey Hepburn quote.

She was also advertising some beautiful personalized Christmas cards. I might have to see if she can do something similar that I could frame and have up year round.

 Then I saw some amazing pumps at Jarma. I don't have anywhere to wear them...but I couldn't pass them up.

Love them.

I have a million things on my wish list now...hopefully I'll be able to purchase a couple at The Dallas Flea December event on December, 1st. 

If ya want to read more about the event this past Saturday, check out my sister's blog Lavender and Pink. She got some amazing shots and wrote up some great reviews on some of the vendors that were there!

Funky Finds Spring Fling

Saturday we went to the Funky Finds Spring Fling. I love going and looking at all the amazing crafts and art that people come up with. Here are some of the goodies I came home with.

A t-shirt for Monkey Munch from XYFactory:

Onesie for Nox from Take Flight Boutique:
Spidey for Monkey Munch from Pegged: (She also does customized peg families....want...)
Pretty fabric necklace and matching felted earrings for me from Beat Art:
After enjoying the crafts we went next door to the Flea Market.

I was really tempted to buy this game, just for the fun box:
Monkey really loved this globe. It's super fun to spin :o)
AND I couldn't pass up these patterns for a dollar each. I know I don't have a girl, but I totally couldn't pass on Rainbow Bright.
And so ended an awesome crafty day.

My Boys...Tuesday

Oops! My Boys Monday hasn't really worked out the past two weeks. Better late than never I guess. Yesterday, my fabric for Lennox's room came in! I have to get some coordinating fabrics, but these are the main ones.

I'm for sure planning on a quilt and curtains...but I may branch out to more stuff if that goes well. I'm certainly open to suggestions!

On Saturday we ventured to The Funky Finds Spring Fling. There were a ton of great vendors. We got this onesie for Lennox from Burp Clothing, and I ordered a new and bigger diaper bag for both the boys (and me), which I'll show off the moment I get it. :o)

And here are my "big" boys looking for some good records at the flea market next door to Funky Finds.

Etsy Spring Bash....FINALLY!

First...here's a picture of Munch in his Scooby outfit I made him.

The Etsy Spring Bash was smaller than Funky Finds, but just as good. We saw some old favorites and a bunch of new and fun stuff too.
I got these charms made using scrabble pieces from http://karmacrochet.etsy.com/
I already have two necklaces that were made using the same idea, but I couldn't pass up the cherry and the camera.

John and I picked out a bunch of vinyl stickers from
http://www.one-updesigns.com/index.html
It was really hard to pick just ten. They will be great for crafting gifts with.

Finally I bought a shirt for John at http://www.dowdystudio.etsy.com/
He knows I got the shirt...just not which one so I'm showing you the stamp that's on the back of all their shirts. I will definately be buying from them again as there were a couple more that would make excellent gifts...I'll try to remember to take a picture of John wearing his when he gets it...I'm thinking for his birthday.

That's all for now. I'm working on a skirt for me and a toy for Munch, we are in the process of packing and moving right now so we'll see when those actually get done. I hope it won't be to long though.

Towel Buddies and Etsy Spring Bash

I made this page last night while organizing our photos. It was done using Mandy Made's Julia Kit.

I have two pairs of pants I'm working on for Lyndon. Hopefully I'll get at least one pair done before the Etsy Spring Bash. I finished fixing his Beatles pants...but haven't gotten a decent picture yet.

Funky Finds Spring Fling

We went to the Funky Finds Spring Fling this weekend.

I didn't get Lyndon's Beatles outfit fixed in time so he wore the cute pants that Alisha made him.

I got this T-shirt from http://xyfactory.com/

This is a koala from http://www.fuzzymuffins.net/ we've named him Mitch, because he's the cutest infestation ever!!!

And cherry switch plates for my new kitchen

It was lots of fun even if it was super hot. There were a ton of great crafters...and I even got a few good ideas for stuff I can make. I can't wait to go to the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash next month.
