Tolentreasures

Friday involved some deliveries and a few thrift shops along the way.  It is really fun to have an outlet for the fun things I find now.    That little swan, while it would have caught my eye would have stayed on the shelf. Now it is cleaned up and headed to the shelves of MY little shop along with the Boonton Melamine Cream and Sugar   And this planter. Franciscan "Autumn" Candleholders Cemar pottery Gravy Bowl and that jar. I don't know what it is, but I liked it. Some Pfaltzgraff Jackson china Relpo Pottery and an unmarked bowl. We had one like that when we were kids. I already have one. Maybe someone else wants one! There was also some Pyrex and some more childrens' silverware.   All cleaned and priced and packed to go!   Kendall traveled along on the afternoon stops. When I told her we were going shopping, she wanted to know if we were going to a mal...

Hang on folks, it is about to be one of THOSE posts. But before that,  I did finish this little penny rug above and some painting for orders, but, I can't get to them right now. as you will see later in this post.

Deliver her home. A little work at the shop.. Fairgrounds to work for the evening. Home to fi...

Today was my day again to drive to dialysis. For those of  you that were confused on a previous post. my MIL in on dialysis, not me.   We recently set up a schedule to drive her there. So far it is working out great. So, as I am considering my driving day a day off, here is what I did with my day. First, I went to the gym. That was not pretty, it had been awhile since I was there. I can tell already that it is going to be worse tomorrow. Then... I hit the jackpot. I had seen this shop several times but had either been in a hurry, or it was after hours when I went by. Since I had time to kill today, this was my first stop after the gym. WOW! Is all I can say. They have so much stuff jammed in this place. It is called B and R Depot and is on Route 66 just north of Kittanning. B and R as I thought about it later is for Barbara and Ron. They were so friendly and interesting to talk to. Ron even loaded this end table that I bought into the back of the car for me! If you are out ...
