Scenes from my weekend…
This weekend was jam packed and I’m not ready for it to be Monday.
On Saturday we headed to Yankee Stadium. If you know Jon and I even a little you know this is completely laughable because we are not sports fans at all. We had all gifted my Dad tickets to a soccer game though and we were off for a day at the stadium!
Asher is doing this thing now where he starts acting really bashful and then closes his eyes. It’s adorable, but clearly it didn’t help me when I was trying to snap this picture.

The stands and field:
Everyone had a nice time and the boys actually behaved for most of it which was wonderful.
On Sunday we woke up super early! I mean 5:45am early! We were out the door by 6:45am and headed to Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market! I have always wanted to go, but it’s in CT we have never been. Last week I checked out how far it was and it was only about 1hr and 30 mins away so off we went!
Clearly I was excited!
Ah! It’s just like Flea Market Flip! Maybe we’ll bump into Lara Spencer:
There were rows upon rows of vendors which was great! Jon emptied out his truck and even bought straps in case we needed to use the roof. Here are some of the things we saw.
Lots of army chests/trunks:
This guy had really cool salvaged mantles and other items, but he was super pricey!
Kind of regretting not picking these cups up. They reminded me of Oh Joy’s line for Target.
Loved these chairs, but they were already sold.
Obsessed with these orange wooden ammo boxes from WW1. My sister actually picked up those 4.
I thought this cubbie situation would be cool for my sister’s new apt, but they didn’t love it. So it stayed behind.
Loved these chairs, but had no need for them.
Letters galore!
Loved these cute caned bar stools, but they were too short for my kitchen island.
Lots of pretty pink, blue and green glass dishes:
We stopped at one of the food trucks and picked up some mini cinnamon/sugar donuts!
Rugs, rugs and more rugs!
My treasures! So, I was hoping to go home with a ton of furniture, but sadly it just wasn’t there. We got their at 8am so maybe a lot of the furniture was already gone? I don’t know. Jon and I were both talking that if we had been on Flea Market Flip that day we wouldn’t have found our 3 items to flip.
Overall the trip was really fun and the boys behaved. We told Hudson we were treasure hunting and he was into it because a lot of the booths had toys. He actually made a couple of purchases himself and even haggled! Proud mom! It was so hot and we were all melting by the end so we ended up leaving around noon.
I made one more pit stop in CT that was amazing! I will share that tomorrow!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I too would love the flea market over the baseball game. My son used to close his eyes when strangers approached. I then read that a child believes if they can’t see the stranger, the stranger can’t see them. He moved out this weekend to his first apartment and I started decorating a new office. First thing I’m upcycling is a vintage gym locker basket and I posted the results today.
