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
Was surprised to hear you went on a play day after you saying how much you had to do. Yup, you are your worst enemy. What a great find in the pug chocolate mold.
ReplyDeleteI watched a U Tube video of the Seville antique show .....beautiful things , but looked expensive . Your Pug chocolate mold is perfect for you !!! What a special find !!! Hope your Hook is smoking away !!!!
ReplyDelete"REAL antiques," "true antique mall," "very high end antique show," "upscale antique show...." Yikes! You're way out of my league GF. But, yeah...that pug chocolate mold is the cat's meow (ever wonder why they don't say the "dog's bark"??)
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who vends the Simple Goods show but have not heard from her yet if it was a good one or not. I have never been to it either, nor the Earlier Times one. Have NEVER seen a pug chocolate mold and I dont think it was a frivolous buy at all with you loving pugs. Great find! Janice
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Here the antique stores are filled with stuff that is already in my house. Its very discouraging. Or Hobby Lobby ripoffs. I really like that mold. Its in really good conditions too.
