The entire upper floor of this building is all antique, nostalgic and vintage treasures.... Now, being the thrifty (cheap) lady that I am, I find a great number of things here are highly overpriced. That doesn't mean I don't like the hunt, I do. It's a challenge to find something I like and for a reasonable price (or priced right).... but, I can do it if I'm given the time to really scrutinize what I'm after.
Of course, the prey of the day for me, was Pyrex.... just a little-teeny-tiny piece to quench my thirst, sate my hunger, tide me over til, um, next month (who we kiddin'....next week)....
Aaaanyway.... While browsing, I heard the man say to the girl-babe, 'Oh, Mommy's gonna be in these booths for hours'.... My interest was piqued.... I knew exactly what he meant, and so, calmly, not too-too hurriedly (I didn't want to look like a total geek!) I headed in the direction of his voice....
Ahhhh!!!! 3.... count 'em.... 3 booths of perfectly pretty Pyrex and fabulously fun Fiesta ware! WHAT?! I know!
So once the excitement (that was really only going on internally.... again, the geek in me was caged) was harnessed, I got down to business.
After picking up, turning over and checking for chips on almost every. single. piece.... sadly, only a few were to my liking, which is to say, in almost 100%, A-1, perfect condition. And those that were, were so over priced, I just couldn't bring myself to drop that kind of money....
But I wasn't sad.... I know where I can find what I like at very thrifty prices.... I went on my way, happy with just browsing at all of the beautiful colours.... and then, I spotted 3 teensy-weeny-little bowls on the floor of a booth that sold almost entirely old paper materials....
I chose this beautiful brown bitty....
Isn't she sweet? I brought her home, suds-ed her up and she was on the dinner table that night full to the brim with little sweet peas....
:D That's me. Smiling cheek-to-cheek.... have a great day ;)
