Let's Shop

"Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Woman enjoy the scrimmage,

 the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, the ecstasy of the purchase."

~Erma Bombeck~

I am NOT a shopper. However, antique shopping is a whole different story.

I'm ready at a moments notice when antique mall is mentioned. 

I'll gladly brave the push and shove, the elbowing while digging and poking my way through an antique mall.

A couple weeks ago, me and the mister were out and about, doing what we often do on New Year's Eve day.......antiquing.

I came home with lots of loot..........here's a peek at some of my findings.......

I found a forest of old bottle brush trees.........a sweet little basket purse, sweaters and dresses.  Oh I just love the pale pink polka dot number.

I was excited to find old fraternal lodge capes, sashes and more.........the colors, the fabrics.....one garment had a jillion of these lion head buttons sewn on it.  Of course I had to have it!  The sashes have oodles of the old metal fringe and tassels, I do love tassels........the fabrics will make wonderful make-do's.

It was a very good outing..........boxes and bags of stuff.

So, if you'd like to go shopping with me..........just say antique and I'm there. 

 

Till Next Time.......
