Rose Bowl Flea Finds

A trip to the Rose Bowl Flea was part of the November 2012 Spellbound event.

Why is it some people can look good looking into the sun? Whatever.

I bought this blue suitcase right away and then promptly filled it.

I could have sold that case many times over.

I bought a complete service for 6 on this mother of pearl flatware.

Can you just smell these erasers. I had to have them.

This school work book is from Garfield county Oklahoma. I had to bring it home from California. It is an exquisite study of biology and geography. I cant find a date on it but the pages are so old. half the page has waxy pages and the other half is like kraft paper. Lot so drawings. And this student shared my father's first name.

It's back home, Floyd.

Looking Back Is A Look Forward

Since I have been so swamped I haven't even walked into a junk store since November. Look back with me now at the things I found last time I found things.

This blue suitcase was disgustingly cheap. I couldn't haul it to the register fast enough.

I mean, I knocked a man down.

This is a display card for these old brown buttons. It was a little pricey for me.

I feel that if I don't need it, then it shouldn't cost much. But this I needed.

I was planning to buy this hatbox when I opened it to find it held hats.

That rose is as big as a softball or small melon.

I buy enamel tubs. I just do.

And this is a pot thing or something which apparently I also buy.

I have a collection of books about marriage and putting women in their place. This book is His Friend and His Wife. It is slightly less misoginistic than some.

Here is a cake tin and some red utensils from Second Chance in Omaha.

I obsessively collect kitchen utensils.

God, I'm fun.

These jewels cam from Jenni Bowlin at Silver Bella. I wold love to shop her again.

And I just bet I do.

I am trying to be more upbeat. Is it working?

Fake it 'til you make it, right?
