Totally frivolous!

Yesterday I had a play day with friend Laura.  Usually my play day is a half day, but holy moly, yesterday I didn't get home until after 9pm.

Our first stop was at one of our favorite small shops with REAL antiques.  Bill was holding a tin candle box for her.  That came home with her.  Nothing from his shop came home with me 😥

Our next stop was Seville Antiques, a true antique mall.  They were having their spring open house in conjunction with the primitive shows happening yesterday and today.  Once again noting screamed BUY ME and I left empty handed . . .  most unusual.

On to a greenhouse recommended by shop owner Bill.  It appeared to be Mennonite owned.  Gorgeous, healthy plants and better prices than our local greenhouses.  I bought a number of plants that I can hopefully get planted soon.  There is still a risk of frost here in northern Ohio, but it is minimal.

Our next stop was the very high end antique show, Earlier Times.  Of course if $$$$ was no object I could have filled the Rogue and then some.  But alas, that's not the case.  Laura did buy the sweetest little pie safe.  Sorry I don't have a picture.  Not a salesman sample size, but probably half the size of a normal pie safe.  The dealer said it came from Texas.  I'm sure Laura will find the perfect spot for it.

My frivolous purchase?  Laura spotted it.  A pug chocolate mold.  Heck, I don't think I have ever seen a dog chocolate mold, let alone a pug.  Isn't is just the sweetest?

I opted to stay home today instead of attending the other upscale antique show (1.5+ hours away) or to the Cluttered Coop, a monthly show at the vendor's home (1+ hours away).  I really need to get the first of the mats hooked and bound by 1pm Monday.  My hook better be smokin' 😁

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren
