We Saw Loads Of Pretty Things!

So to continue the story of our trip to the antiques store...   My friend and I saw loads of pretty things.

This purple star quilt was gorgeous!
More quilts.

McCoy pottery anyone?

Look at all that aqua! 

Blue Spice jars.

Majolica.

Biscuit barrels and parrots!

Before I go any further let me just say that my friend and I have been best buddies for forever and a day-  since we were two years old.  And when we get together, we have a lot of fun.  Sometimes we call each other  made up names like "Gertie" and  "Hilda" and pretend we are from Sweden.   We laugh the whole day.    So you will not be surprised....

We saw this hat rack.

She tried on a lovely flowered hat.

A couple of booths down we found a lovely blue number.

In another booth she discovered a green and white hat and decided it matched my outfit!

And while looking at pretty teacups, we found yet another hat. 

Then we behaved ourselves for a little while.

Look at this cool purple Melmac!

And vintage kitchenware.

Beautiful Belleek!

Sweet little Christening gowns!

But then .......  

We found a tambourine!  Jingle jingle!

And believe it or not, in another booth, 

a second tambourine, this one with ribbons attached.  

Just perfect for a gypsy girl!

We saw cool lighting!

She loved a chandelier that had been converted from gas.

I preferred one with blue prisms as big as my hand!

And so the day went.  We laughed 'til we hurt.  The other shoppers probably thought we were nuts.  We didn't mind.   The shop owners might have.  Do you think they will let us come back?   Or will they post a sign on the front door that says  "No shenanigans!"

Aren't best friends wonderful?
