4.4.11

 

Thank you for all the birthday wishes on Friday.  That was a lot of fun. 

I had fully intended to take the entire day off from work but things conspired against me and I ended up working half a day anyway.  In the afternoon I took myself out to lunch and then hit up the local antique mall. 

I ended up buying an adorable letter box in the perfect green.  I love the detail work on it.  It was missing whatever was originally in the center of the medallion so I glued a glass button there.

 

I also found a pair of crocheted, monogrammed pillowcases (with an "A") that are in perfect condition. 

I was really pleased – Normally I don't find anything that I really think I need and here I found two.  Then a little further on I found a milk glass cache pot that matched one I already have so I added that to my growing pile of finds (I neglected to take a picture of it but it matches this one).

 

I had one more aisle to go down and what should I find but two perfectly peely old porch posts.  So I added them to the pile and staggered up to the checkout counter.  Actually I flagged down a nice young man that worked there and made him stagger to the counter for me.

 

Aren't they perfect?  My intent is to install them at the bottom of the lawn with birdhouses perched on top of them.
