A day of antiquing … part 1.

It was a beautiful clear, cool day and I wanted to take a drive along the coast. So of course we went antique shopping instead.

And were greeted by some very pricey little green men at our first stop.

.

.

$950 per seemed a tad high to me. But you have to admit they’d spark more conversation than that coffee table book about the Renaissance.

This first store was overloaded with crap. And my husband dove right in.

Disagree with my crap description? Think the store was actually filled with treasure?

.

.

There was a stack of cardboard rose boxes for floral delivery. All empty.

Treasure me that.

.

.

Chairs?

There were a few.

.

.

The only thing I liked was this Grateful Dead 40 year anniversary poster but the hubs wouldn’t let me hang it in the man cave so there it stayed.

Did he leave the store empty handed?

Please.

He bought this old wagon wheel jack (left) and placed it next to his other old wagon wheel jack (right) in the barn.

If only we had a wagon….

    1. But is it really an antique? I am looking at a poster right now that is an antique, from 1971.
      FILLMORE WEST CLOSING WEEK. THE GRATEFUL DEAD were headlining tne July 2nd show, with the New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Rowan Brothers. Other head.iners that week were BOZ SKAGGS, IT’S A B3AUTIFUL DAY, QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE, SANTANA. and CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL. That was the week that was!
      I would show you the poster if I knew how to put a photo into the comment block, but I have no idea.

      7. You can actually buy one online for $249.99USD,
        The one I have is covered in plastic film because it would fall apart otherwise. The person I got it from had unfortunately folded it up to fit inside his suitcase, and when I got it from him the fold had become rippable. I took it all across Canada with me (even St. George, New Brunswick.) I would love to let you have it. If you send me your email I will send you the photo, and you can tell me what it would be worth to you, plus shipping.

  2. Why ? You do realize by enabling this behaviour the somewhat more empty basement will most likely refill back up. 🙄 Empty boxes are for a move or for storage, but if someone bought just because…
