Yes, Sue, I occasionally "play" more than I should. If I play two days in a row that is unusual, but three days??? I must say I am loving life 😁
Friday was off to two antique shops, one a mall and one a small shop loaded to the gills. I didn't find much at the mall (that I was willing to spend $$ on) but did get a little vintage (?) table riser. At the small shop I found two treasures. A sauce boat to add to my feather edge collection . . .
. . . and a 2 1/2 inch tall Peaseware container. The little finial has a chip so the price was affordable. I did not even notice the roughness on the bottom until I saw in the picture. It is not noticeable in person and I just turned it around so you don't see the flaws.
The small shop is Wm. Hromy Antiques. If you are ever in the north east-ish Ohio area, his shop is a must stop. His gardens are breathtaking. His yard is very shady . . . lots of hostas and other shade loving plants. So many concrete cats! Heavy moss on some items. And antique grindstones. Dozens and dozens. Some are propped up. Some used as path pavers. Two antique feeding troughs are now fountains. I should have taken more pictures!!!
I am a big fan of junk for the garden, so did find a number of treasures. One day I purchased the rusty old funnel and then I bought this plant stand (the butterflies will be hidden in plants and not seen). Nothing great and the only thing I had that fit in the opening was the funnel. I also got part of a weathervane. Thankfully DSO is very handy and will add a pipe to put in the ground. Picture later 😄
Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a good start.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren
