Booty Good

My booty as I called it was pretty good the other day.

Not shiny gold like a pirates booty

and not given away or stolen like

the term suggests.

Somethings were inexpensive and some..... well,

 maybe overpriced

compared to some of the acquisitions of bloggers out there.

Boy some of you out there really get some great deals.

This is the bulk of what I acquired.

Not bad for a few hours.

I have to tell you a quick story.

Our first stop was a booth where I saw a wire basket.

I politely asked him how much.

He said $35. So without saying anything or making any faces

( I swear )

 proceeded to put it back down.

He then said 30, then 25.

I still didn't like it that much. It was rather ordinary

and really thought it wasn't worth more then 15 but I wasn't going to even mention

what I thought it was worth.

He then yelled out to the crowd

"Tire kicker"

and pointed to me!!!

Everyone of course turned to look at him....

None of which were in his booth btw.

I never looked around to see if they were

 looking at me or at him.

I hoped that he embarrassed himself in their eyes.

Who knows? 

All I kept thinking was

Wow what a way to start the day.

Later when we were going by him Deanna heard him

doing it to someone else.

I wonder what kind of day HE had?

The good thing is that the shopping experience improved

immensely for the rest of the day.

I stuck to my usual colors of white and neutral tones.

A few simple tins

I don't really know why I liked these. They were mixed in with a pile of metal handles.

Some kind of marble piece that I can only think was from a fancy lamp or

chandelier....maybe?

various numbers....sorry Laura no 2's in the pile...I really looked.

These I just fell in love with. I wished she had more I would

have bought all she had.

Of course now a days this kind of bead work is often done in India.
Nice but not like these.

I could have swearn that I had 5 of these.

Oh well, it'll show up someday...

or not!

These oversized faucet handles I bought after seeing the

 ones Debra showed me she bought.

She wanted to use them as candle holders...

That Debra's so clever!

I hadn't bought an alabaster lamp in a long time.

This ones pretty small.

Cute!

And metal wall candle holder

Crystals sold by the foot and also bought a small bolt of brown

toile fabric along with some gauzy white and tan bolt too.

New members of my ever expanding family.

George keeps telling me to stop buying these but

someone has to love and cherish them.

I can pretend that this baby girl might have worn these shoes

though they're not that old.

Ideal Baby Shoes from Danvers Mass.

 Danvers is right outside Salem Mass.

where we stayed a couple of time while visiting at Halloween time.

Always love seeing the "real witches" walking the streets.

Look at the size of that bouquet.

Someone next to me commented that she looked

just like their mothers wedding portrait.

I wondered if the shorter length was popular then?

My real score was this mesh bag!!!

Love Love Love it!

I now have 3.

Nothing fancy just a bait bucket.

Too bad I can't make a bag out of it

hum!

This gentleman looked like he'd make a fine fishermen.

Not in that fine suit though.

Nigella checking out the new members of the family.

She can sniff out the cat lovers.

.

She gave her approval,

that's good don't want any trouble!

Just got back from a day at the

 Brimfield Antique Fair.

I had thought that I presheduled this post but

I must not have clicked the publish button.

My smart phone was not so smart up in

Brimfield and I couldn't seem to get the post to

go up nor was I getting much phone reception either.

I'm going back up tomorrow and hope to run into

Debra and hopeful Laura too.

Have tons to show you.

I think I did really well on my one day already but

still have tons to see. New England Motel

field opened today and May's field tomorrow.

Can't wait.

This time I plan on getting to bed early

unlike the previous time.

Boy was I tired!!!!
