Extravaganza Plus

We went to the Springfield Extravaganza
from the website:

Twice a year, in May and September,
 the Springfield Antique Show 
and Flea Market holds its famous Extravaganza. 
Wear your walking shoes and prepare for a day
 of fun shopping over 2,500 dealers
 who’ll be set up in a dozen buildings
 and outdoors across the entire fairgrounds.

A lot of the Buckeye Bloggers 
were there -on different days
 although
I didn't run into one 
or anyone I knew

I got this highchair for $40


I like Shabby chic
however it doesn't go 
with my decor


so I will be stripping it
and staining it 
in the near future


We got this
lamp cover for $15
it is 16 in across


We will be making
a bird bath out of it



This pin was $7
but she reduced it to $3



The big find was this bed



full size
was $125  
we got it for $95






After 7 hrs at the Extravaganza
we stopped at a store called Ollie's



The box of scrapbook paper 
150 sheets reg $24 for $10
(that's .06 a piece)

The punches were $3 a piece 
the stamps $2

  4. Jo, I love the headboard and the high chair! What are your plans for the high chair after you finish w/it? My legs and feet killed me after a whole day at the extravaganza. I wanted to go back again the next day, though! LOL- I restrained myself...
    I took pics and then promptly deleted the file after I downloaded them into Picasa. AAAGGGHHH.... I, too, am a bad blogger. If I could only figure some way to retrieve them out of Adobe...

  12. I love the highchair just like it is! People work hard to get paint to look like that and you are going to strip it? Oh My! Lol.

  13. I know most ppl like the shabby chic look but I'm not a big fan - I like the look but my house is very Victorian - heavy woods etc. The other problem is I plan on using it when I have grandchildren and I'm almost positive it is leaded painted
