I don't have no crummy fleas!

Is that scarecrow moving?

I might need a piece of him.

Oh, he's just a dummy!

I've been looking for an old wire birdcage to use in the garden. All I've been seeing are cages with plastic bottoms. Yesterday I finally found what I wanted though it was covered with gaudy decorations. It was so bad I actually ripped most of them off and left them in the store. $3.95

This stuff got thrown away fast!

Good deal and it is in great shape.

Now to figure out what to do with it!

I found another working barometer to satisfy my weather addiction. This will just hang in the garage. $2.50

A sweet little jam pot for $1.00. I buy these when I find them because I give away lots of homemade biscuits and jam and these are so much nicer than a plain jar.

A brand new pair of rooster S&P's for $1.75. These are now on the potting table.

Another owl. This one was $2.00. The paint is very one dimensional so I will touch it up to make it look better. Another Halloween decoration!

Hmmmm....maybe this little guy would be happy in that birdcage. 25 cents

This was a cute find for $1.00. A Gold Medal Flour recipe box.

With all the original recipe cards.

Jake's hat....$1.00.

These very heavy shabby chic candlesticks were $2.00 for the set.

More wooden candlesticks for Halloween decorations. $3.00 for all of them. These were popular in the 1960's and it seems that everyone has gotten rid of them because I am finding them everywhere I go and they are always cheap. Though I am using them for Halloween, they could be painted any color and used for all sorts of centerpieces or decorations.

This giant, heavy oak candlestick was handmade on a lathe and signed on the bottom. $1.75....once again, so much for artistic appreciation!

This heavy metal miniature chair was $1.75. It will look cute with a pumpkin sitting on it.

Who remembers this game?

I played this all the time when I was a kid.

But I sure never knew it was a backgammon game from India. $2.00

This pair was $1.25. These will work so well with all of the other Halloween items I have been hording.

This is too cute! A depression glass corn crib.

Filled with what else??? $8.00

I wish I had shops like you have around me...
How much fun to shop like that?!
Cheers!
The big oak candlestick is great, wish I could find something like thet over here. But I never light candles. If I forget to put it out this little cottage would be gone in minutes :-) :-) The jam pot was also really nice!
That game, we call it "Fia med knuff", that would be something like Fia with a push in english :-) I and my sister could play it for hours at a time :-) :-) :-)
Have a great day now!
Christer.

By the way - did you get the depression glass corn crib at the flea market with the candy corn already in it? Or did you fill it up afterwards?
And finally - can you please give me more info on where you got your chow? I've been wanting a chow for years now and have been slowly looking at/researching breeders but I still have some hesitations. I would love to talk to you more about them but I can't seem to locate your email info and I feel kind of weird posting all of that in the comments section. :-P
This place looks like a lot of fun. I'm off to take a look...
And I agree with your quote!
Ciao,
