White Wednesday

After our time at the antique show in Naugatuck we stopped

back at Paula's house so we could look over all that we

had bought.

Just so we could eeww and ahhh over everything. How come guys don't do that???

Maybe they do......but I'm sure a bunch of old keys wouldn't do it for them:))

and certainly not lace!!! Their loss!!!! Right?

Paula picked these up for a great price if I remember right....from a guy!!!

He probably thought......why would anyone want old keys???

or a little metal chicken???

This Paula was told was a corkscrew but it seemed too small for that???

Maybe one of you knows.

She was wearing it like a ring.......

I stayed far enough away.... haha

In one of the booths she had picked up some window blind hangers.

When I got to another booth right

next door the lady was selling a small box full of them along with other

crocheted items so I told Paula about them.

She of course bought the box.

She used some of them on presents she gave on Valentines Day

at our luncheon at Evi's we all attended.

I wish I crocheted more then circles!!!

I love this little crocheted basket!

A little something from Jones Drug store in Bridgeport,Ct.

2 tablets taken every 4 hrs until pain goes away....etc....etc.

sounds familiar.

Being a pharmacist Paula always looks for these kinds of boxes.

So much cuter taking pills from this kind of container

then what they give you now.

I'm sure back then they never gave it any thought.

The book I was telling you about that I bought was the

Youth's Companion. The graphics were so intriguing.

Paula bought the same book but just a little smaller.

What you see in the first few pictures above.

The nice man that sold us the book was telling us that they would print them

on a regular basis they would then have them bound

together to make a book. It has over 800 pages.

He was telling us while he was waiting for the show to open he read

some of the stories. He found it fun

to imagine the kids reading them back then in the 1800's.

No TV or internet or video games in those days.

We didn't dare tell him we wanted the book to tear the

pages out. We thought better of it after that.

After I read some of the stories....

but not all 800+ pages!!

Copies might be good too:))))

This thermometer in the shape of a key

was interesting though I think it long ago

stopped working.

Newport RI is marked on the top.

I have relatives there in one of those

castles along the bluffs:)

HaHa I wish!!!!!!

I have more buttons then I know

what to do with, but I had to have these. They had just the

right amount to grunge to them.

The beautiful etched bottles I bought from

Debra from Capers of the Vintage Vixens.

The galvanized metal

milk carrier was sweet too and I got asked about it throughout the show.

I think he kind of regretted selling it to me at the price he told me....

or at least his wife did.

This is the bag I bought from Debra too. This picture doesn't show the detail.

But this one does!!!! I love it!

Don't forget to see our hostess Kathleen

at Faded Charm and visit the other participants of WW.

I've missed doing White Wednesday the last couple of weeks.

Glad to have the opportunity to do one more!!!...

thank you for stopping by.
