There are lists, and more lists, piles gathering here and there of what to bring, the washing machine is going, last minute errands, and my head is spinning. Someone must be getting ready to go on vacation!
But since one of my dreams in life would be to live on a beach, I'll put up with the spinning head.....................
....because I love the white sugar sand, the skies that stretch to the heavens....
...the constant wind and roar of the sea that seem to carry away and drown out the cares of the world......................
....and some of my favorite antique stores just happen to be in this area! In January, here are a few of the goodies I snagged at my favorite haunts......
Some old books printed in the 19th century...
When my eyes spotted these adorable french pencils my heart rate hit the danger zone. Practically squealing, I showed them to Mr. Fun who said, "Why don't you get one?"
One? JUST ONE? Is he kidding?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole drive home I was kicking myself for not having bought them all. Maybe they'll still be there? And maybe a flying donkey will drive me back to the store.....
The last two photos are of two adorable little linen rompers that cost $6 each.
There were more great finds, but the clock is ticking and I best keep focused on the packing. Mr. Fun, who was traveling today to see a client called me as he was driving down a mountain somewhere in the state of West Virginia and his day was not going well. So if I hope to buy more than ONE PENCIL on this trip, Little Red Hen better be ready to travel. Smile.....
Wow amazing finds!! I love those old books, where did you get them??
