Yarn and Antique shopping

Okay everyone...are you ready to go shopping. Ok, not really shopping, like, for real, but pretend shopping. I took TONS of pictures. And I got in trouble, because I made my friend almost run out of gas because I took so many pictures! I'll explain that logic later, first I gotta tell you what happened.

So, she picks me up Friday at 10:00 a.m. and she already had coffee. AUGH! She has a Keurig, I do not, so I asked her to stop at Dunkin Donuts, on the way out of town, so I can get a cuppa. We weren't three minutes down the street when she starts kind of ranting about the Mars candy company. It appears they are doing away with their King Size candy bars.

So, we pull into Dunkin' Donuts when I try to tell her something important, but I can't get a word in because of this Mars candy issue.

Finally.... she takes a breath and I say, "um you cannot order here, that isn't a speaker, it's a trash can."

Huh?

"yeah, it's a trash can." She looks out her window, at the trash can...

and sheepishly smiles,

and I say "I am so going to blog about this."

We are almost to the Broadripple area when we decide to eat some lunch. I had to call my Sister for ideas on where to eat. I knew she'd pull through for us, and she did. Basbeaux pizza. Yum.

next stop, Yarn store...now, I did not take any pictures in the yarn store, but let me say Love it. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. I felt comfortable in it. Kind of like I belonged. You know what I mean? It's the way I like to feel when I shop in a store.

After that...

right on College

right on New York

left into the antique store.

OH MY GOSH!

So I started snapping all kinds of pictures...e-mailing some of them to my Shug. And she asks me, "Why are you taking so many pictures?"

Because, My blogger friends love this kind of stuff. I have to show them. So here ya go.

And I'm not deleting any more spaces, because I keep deleting pictures and I'm not downloading them again. So, just bare with the blank spaces and keep scrolling down.

You know what? I LOVE RED. And I love this couch. And here's the thing. I have always not liked Red. I remember even telling a friend of mine that the color red, and petunias, remind me of old people! Guess what? I must be old because I love both. I'd have this couch in my new house. I would.

This sink is aqua. The color doesn't show up in the pictures. Speaking of...do any of you know where I can get one of those old long white sinks with the dish drainers in them. Do you know what I'm talking about? They are probably from the 1940's...something like that.

Vintage aprons

hat boxes

About 100 chandeliers

barcloth (might have spelled this wrong but that's how it's pronounced)

We named this the Catholic corner.

Catholic candles and candle holders.

Now, I'd love to show you more, but you get the idea...and this post is way too long. But I need to tell you this story. On the way there, the gas tank light came on. But, "don't worry, I still have a lot of gas when that light comes on." You know the one, that says you are running low on gas? That one. And on the way home we almost ran out of gas because I took too long in the antique store taking pictures, which put us in rush hour traffic. We had to keep stopping at red lights and for slow pokes, and we almost ran out of gas! Phew...we didn't, but it was close. Very close.













So this is what I bought.

Lots of cotton yarn. I wanted a bunch of different colors, but they didn't really have a lot of colors in the kind of cotton yarn I like.

So I settled for what they did have. I want to make a lot of fun stuff with this yarn like bags and flowers and such.
I also bought this yarn to make myself a scarf.

I also bought another yarn, but I just deleted the picture! DAMMIT! Blogger, or my computer, or too many pictures on one post is giving me fits.
















































































This yarn was in the clearance bin, $4.00 a ball!

I also bought this material. It was called "rags" on the tag! "Bunch of rags $2.00:" They see rags, I see pillows.

it's very soft (and dusty.)

Oh yes, I bought these for my Easter decorations. They aren't old, they just look old. But they are cute!

Had to get some pink Catholic candle holders. I might use them as candle holders or vases.

I also bought a box of 51% beeswax religious candles that give off a special glow when lit. I plan on decorating them. I've seen it done and they look really cool.

But first I need to clean off the table.

So much to do.

So little time...
