Mount Dora Extravaganza
I have spent the last couple of days in the craft room working on a commissioned order, so I thought I would take a short break and reflect on my recent holiday. These photos are of the Rennigers Antique Extravaganza at Mount Dora. It is truly a site to behold with each stall holding as much treasure as the next and going on for what seemed like miles. It was difficult to stay focused, I wanted everything I saw. In the end I bought vintage patterns ( 2 of which are wedding dresses), vintage buttons, a 1935 embroidery book, vintage shoe trees which I intend to use for my daughters wedding next year, ribbons and material and my wonderful husband treated me to a handmade quilt sign which has taken pride of place in my craft room. I will give you a sneak peek into the craft room in a later post. I also bought from my friend Jone on the Street of shops a vintage rolling pin and gingerman cookie cutter for my kitchen which at the moment is a work in progress. Back to work......
