What a weekend. First off, Saturday my dad and I attended the summer Palmer-Wirf antique show at the Expo center.  As always, there was so much to look at!  And at the summer show, the upper parking lot is also filled with wonderful vintage delights and we walked away with some swag…here are the highlights:

I got four wonderful vintage patters, a dollar each! I can’t wait until I get the hang of the sewing machine so I can make these swell lookin’ dresses. I also bought some fur earrings…may have to save these for winter.  I also picked up this fun circus-esque skirt.  But hands down the best find of the day was this 1940s cast iron funeral sign.  The dealer we purchased it from said he bought it from a defunct funeral parlor in Kentucky that was selling its goods. What I wouldn’t have done to have been there!

Then on Sunday it was off to the races!  For at least the past ten years, my dad and I have been attending the Baxter Historic Races out at Portland International Raceway, heck we were going when it was put on by Zupan’s!  It’s loads of fun for a great price.  You get to see an amazing amount of old cars and you get to see them out on a track doing what they were meant to do.

I just adore Mini Coopers, and it was wonderful to see a Mini win a race!  I also got a kick out of watching the other Mini on three wheels, as seen in the picture.  You can tell these drivers really love what they do and love these cars.  My dad and I will be back at PIR Sunday, the 18th for the NASCAR event.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
