Look What The Cat Dragged In

 

With the cat being Bob.

Lauren already knows this, 

but weeks ago a few folks came

into our antique store to sell Bob some items.

Some he kept for the store...

others he brought home for me.

This wonderful Windsor chair 

with claw arms.

See that detail. A real beauty.

Maker name is Duckloe Bros.

This is a finely crafted reproduction chair.

He paid $25.00.

I paid $100 for the last Windsor chair I bought.

This sweet teddy.

Which was straw filled and an antique.

He also paid $25.00 for this one.

I placed him on top of my prim chair.

Three little bowls for my collection.

Also this spongeware pitcher.

I added all of these to my kitchen cabinet display.

Bob paid $12.00 for the four pieces.

Finally this fabulous crock jug,

with an imprint of a swan swimming 

in a lake.

Bob thought I would like this one because

we have the swans that swim here in our river.

 Bob only paid $3.00.

What a steal.

$65.00 for all of these fine pieces.

I love them all!

The benefits of owning an antique store.

In other news,

had a few lunch dates 

with friends and my co-worker who

went to another bank last year.

It was nice catching up with him.

He said now that I am retired,

we should meet for lunch quarterly.

Fine with me I said.

I still cannot find my fully stitched Little Liberties.

I even prayed to St Anthony 

for help in locating them.

Guess I am not meant to display them 

this year, but still makes me mad

as a wet hen I cannot find them.

Cannot believe May is just around the corner.

Where has this year gone too?

Spring has not been a good one here

in my opinion.

The tulips and daffodils are now just blooming.

 Weather temps have been like 

a rollercoaster.

Sure wish Mother Nature would make up her mind.

Tuesday Blessings To All!
