A Cold Saturday in January

A few weeks back as I entered Century Antique Mall I saw someone walking out with Tinkertoys. Had I seen them first, they would have been mine. But I didn't and fair is fair. So today I found this canister of Tinkertoys at a thrift store.

I used some to make these picture holders!

I know, I know. They are quirky, but I like them!

I also found this 'cool old box' (that's what the sticker said), a doily and the ribbon for pennies. Okay, dimes.

And, look, Look, LOOK! Those wooden shoes that I wanted for Christmas were still available. I hope they fit Jonge. I see some klompen dancing in his future.

THGGM found this great Watts pitcher. He also found something for which we have been searching for years. It had a fabulous price, and since we are good customers at this place, he was given a great price.

We had planned to spend the day at home, covered up in blankets drinking coffee, escaping the cold. Being the brave little soldiers that we are, we ventured out and did not regret it.

As an added bonus, we ran into several people that we hadn't seen in years. Apparently we aren't the only couple we know who thirft and antique shop on cold Saturdays in January.
