Oh the Antiques You Can Find...

Yes, indeedy. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping nearly the whole day for antiques! 'Twas quite fun. =) Here is a summary of what we did yesterday... including pictures of the wonderful finds!
Well, we lit out for our first stop about 10:30. We finally got there. This place is huge. I don't mean pretty big. I mean like, huge, gigantic... I'm not sure how big, but if you had been there before, you would know what I meant by big. Anyway, we entered into the building, and I found several *great* buys! =D Here are some pictures:


Well, first of all, these glasses! =) Aren't they *so* pretty? My mom and I were walking along, when we came across this really neat booth. My mom got some taller glasses that are exactly like them, except, duh, taller. =P These I guess are more like dessert glasses. =) Anyway, they were only $2 each, so I couldn't pass them up!

Pretty random plate. =) I was holding it up against our black stove so you could see the pattern better. Only $2!

This is a really pretty plate, and similar to a bowl and plate I already have. (oh, sorry for the remaining tag that was sticking to it ;-) It shall be washed off) Anyway, I found it, and it was only $2. But then I saw that everything at that particular booth was, I think, 40% off! So I quickly snatched it up.


Also... I had to treat myself to some do-dads. =P I couldn't help myself. This was about the only "splurge" I had yesterday. They were $2 each, but I just *had* to get them!
It was funny... I was talking to my mom yesterday, and I told her how these three little pendants describe me in my entirety. =P They really do! Here's how:

Mr. Unbelievably-Funny-Smiley-Jumping-Frog shows my hyperness, happiness, and craziness. =P My facial expression is often like that of Mr. Unbelievably-Funny-Smiley... well, so on and so on. ;-)

The cross pendant shows my faith.

And this one may confuse you a tad. How can this describe me? Well, the pink shows my feminine and quiet side... and I dunno why, but this pendant seems kinda peaceful... which, believe it or not, I can be peaceful sometimes. =P

Anyway, it was just kind of funny how they seemed to describe me. =P
Anyway, I'm intending to use them for key chains, and I can just switch them out when I get tired of one.

After going shopping at that place, we went and ate lunch with my grandmother and uncle. It was really fun... we got to talk about a lot of stuff. =)

After lunch, we went to another antique shop. Not *nearly* as big as the first one, but still, it was pretty large.
I found a pretty good find there too!

These two bowls were originally $3 each. I found one, and immediately decided to buy it, because I have several pieces of glass with this pattern. Then I found the other one. And I also realized that almost everything at that booth was 50% off. So I ended up getting both bowls for $3! =)
Oh... and um... I had a problem... you see... these bowls seemed to multiply. Don't believe me? Don't believe that two bowls can multiply? Well then you just roll down and see for yourself. ;-)






Tehehehehe. =D Told ya! And none of these bowls are the two shown above! So... how did this happen? Well, I told my grandmother (who was shopping with us) that I found these two bowls. She said that she would go with the ones she had given me (she moved a while back, and had given me several pieces of glassware). I looked confused and said I didn't have any bowls like that. So, she found out that she had them, and she said she would give them to me! =D So when we went by her house later, she gave me these 7 bowls! So now I have 9 of these bowls! =D I'm sooo excited about it!

She also gave me this larger serving bowl! =) So now I'm ready to go! =D

Soo... that was pretty much my shopping day. We went three other places, but the only other things I got were a button and some flipflops. =P So, nothing large.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the post!

By the way, this is the last post I'll do for a week, as I will be gone at camp with Macy. =D I'll be gone until July 18th. I'm gonna miss y'all! Oh, and I would appreciate prayers for our and the other campers safety, and also that we would have a great time. =) Thanks!
Well, have a great week! God bless! =)

In Christ alone,
