What better way to spend a beautiful fall day than taking to the road and antiquing junking with a friend?
Passed up a couple of real treasures....

I LOVE the Steelers! Every 4-5 years we even have a Steelers party. Wouldn't this be great? I passed it up. (I live in a really really really small cottage--storage is at a premium and this would be stored 99.9% of its life with us. Can't do it.)
Or how about this treasure???
A silk lobster (creel sold separately), and we all know how I LOVE lobsters! ????Nope.
It breaks my heart to see wonderful handknit/handcrocheted things in these kinds of shops going for next to nothing--knowing the time, effort, talent, and $$ that went in to the creating. Sometimes I feel I just have to rescue them....
Can you read that tag....$200!!! They obviously treasured it enough for both of us.
So...what did I buy???
a little frog planter...isn't he cute?
and....
BOO!!! Isn't he creepy?? (I LOVE decorating for Halloween!)
But, I've saved the best for last. We went in to this mall.....
antiques? fleas? furniture? treasure?
and found this....
yep--no doubt about it....treasure!!!!!!
Won't this....
look great made into this? I checked the pattern, and I was 2 balls short, but....
THEY SHIP!!!!!!
