Grand Benders

Like I mentioned, my family was in Canada for vacation two weeks ago. We were in the same area of Ontario as our day trip last year, only this time we were staying for 6 days. Fun fact is that Grand Bend (our precise location) is featured in a MTV Canada show called Grand Benders. We didn’t know this until our third or fourth day of vacation. The show is basically Vanderpump Rules (a Bravo show). It was fun to try and spot cast members while we were out to eat or at the beach.

Of course, we hit up our favorite antique haunts and tried a few new places.

That’s Everett driving a car at a flea market. He smoked that little girl in the background.

Those giant luggage trunks above were on the Titanic. Just kidding, they weren’t on the Titanic. Still cool though.

This Griswold rabbit mold is my all-time biggest holy grail antique item. I have wanted it for YEARS. They have one at an antique store near our house but it is $400. This one was $300. I literally dream about finding this for cheap at a garage sale or something.

These wind up metal guys were pretty neat but were $70 each. No thank you.

I did buy a few things. Most to resell. I got these Armand Marseille doll heads for mega cheap. I am hoping someone who restores old dolls might be interested.

I also got this Wyandotte tin train because I saw that brand on American Pickers once. It was $10.

I think I will keep this pewter rose ice cream mold. I have a thing for molds if you can’t tell.

My favorite purchase by far was this set of ceramic pig heads. I thought for sure Zach was going to put the kibosh on this purchase, but he actually liked these. (Or he was being charitable…not sure.)
