Hello from Sunday night

What happens on a Sunday when you have three car/antique/rock nuts in the family?A fantastic day out in the country. :DOur day started out with a visit to a swap meet auto jumble sale about 100km out of town.car show2We found some lovely cars and trucks and some good deals on car parts and tools.013 copy copyChloe, who is determined to go to Japan for a year, picked out at least three cars or trucks she wanted to buy on the spot...and then have me deal with them while she's in Japan. Safe to say she can't have them all it all.car showWe almost buckled at this lovely red truck...but the pinto? LOLOL...er...NO!016 copy copyI came across these light covers and had a though. My new walnut dashboard for my mini has an extra hole in it and my friend Gillian, a flying instructor, suggested I put an altimeter in the hole, and that's a fantastic idea, but if I can't get one the right size, I was wondering if maybe I could have R install a light and reverse paint one of these glass things for some car art. How cool would that be?036 copy copyWhen we were finished with the car swap meet, we drove over to Fort Langley for some lunch. We needed to wait for about 30 minutes for a table outside so we had a mooch in the antique mall.046 copy copyI love that place and it takes way longer than 30 minutes to have a good look around, so we stuck to our favourite stalls only and had a through look thru those.antuque mallC found this sweet, little, yellow glass cup and it was extremely reasonably priced and so we bought it.052 copy copyThen our table was ready and I had lunch with my besties and off we drove to the rock and gem show a further 40 km down the road. We got lost once or twice, but managed to find it.sunday bestWe walked thru the exhibitions and C bought a fossilised shark's tooth and I bought a lovely pale blue gem to set into some wonderful new design.rock and gemSeems we weren't finished with the country after the full day and so we stayed for a movie.We saw Captain America, the Winter Soldier. What an absolute load of fun silliness. We loved it! :DSharing with Mary for Mosaic Monday.
