Renningers junking pictures

I spent a sunny and 80 degree day at Renningers Antique Mall in Mt. Dora, Florida yesterday. My friends Kelly and Cathleen came along. We had a really good time.  It was one of those trips where no one needed any big ticket items. We were simply looking for supplies and enjoyed the hunt.

This particular vendor did not disappoint. I really stocked up on small items that I use in my artwork. I love a dealer that displays items in small groupings and has their prices marked.
I had the point and shoot with me for this trip. I snapped a few photos of things the girls and I drooled over or dreamed about for the house.


There are always some unique pieces for sale here too.  It is just fun to walk and window shop with your homemade lemonade in hand.


I'll save a few pics for my next post.  I made some fun purchases that I'll be sure to photograph tomorrow. How about you? What did you do this weekend? Please tell me it warmed up for you. I've got some news coming this week! Stay tuned.  Hugs! Joining a new party today. I hope to make some new friends and preview some fun junk! Join us!

    I am looking forward to treasure hunting soon...when the weather improves and the Antique Faire calls to me...I wish that all vendors displayed so neatly. Sometimes I feel like I have been in a dusty attic and feel overwhelmed by the junk instead of seeing the true trinket I might have bought.

    I went today and drooled over the same vendor that had all of the crafting stuff, she said she is going to be a Renningers monthly fair next month, boy she had it all! The weather was gorgeous and it was jammed! I went to their first Extravaganza of the season in Nov. and was disappointed, there was not as many vendors as today. Got myself a prom dress for $10 and a bunch of perfume bottles. Can't wait to see what you bought!

    Oh, I am so jealous! Warm weather and a great antique shopping trip! It certainly wasn't warm here--lots and lots of snow...

    I love the Virgin Mary statues. I inherited one very similar to those when my Grandmother died. It's not an expensive item, but means the world to me. :)

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    I'm drooling over all those treasures. I love going through little boxes of trinkets. I could spend hours sifting through it all. 80 degrees! I can't even imagine. Sounds like a great adventure.

    Vicki,
    Looks like you had a fabulous day, great junking and wonderful weather! Can't wait to see what you came home with! We are still enjoying weather in the high 50s and 60s here, sunny to partly sunny! Good enough to give us a good dose of spring fever! Keeping our fingers crossed that it lasts for a while!

    I wish I could have gone too! I love that cabinet and those corbels. Do you remember the prices? I'm always curious on how much the prices might have changes since I've been there last. Can't wait to see what you found.

    Those are some interesting adventures!
    We have an antique market here too, but it's only open on Sunday's... St. Lawrence market it quite beautiful and old in itself... I love to go shopping round and hunt for interesting stuff... The entire place is old, so it just adds to the experience! I'm glad you had a happy hunt fest, had a great weekend myself!

    We probably walked right past each other. Wasn't it a glorious day.
    I went to Webster yesterday and it was awesome. Do you ever go there?
    Who knows maybe one day we will bump into each other.
    Have a great week playing with all of your finds.
    Hugs
