Saturday was not a good day in this household.......I discovered late Friday night that Boo's mouth was still infected after his tooth extraction so first thing Saturday he was back at the vet...
On the ride home in the back of the Bug.....well I won't go into gory details but when I
got home the back seat of the car had to come out and luckily the weather has been in the 70's so
I was able to put down the top and air out the car....
With that said......Sunday I was in need of a "Mental Health Day"......
and nothing says "Make My day" like shopping....
After I made sure the Boss was well fed and content on the couch with many football games
to watch I was on the highway down past Atlanta Airport to
Scott's Antique Market.....
A huge indoor and now outdoor market that is held one weekend out of the month it has gotten alot better in the past few years.....We always used to go to the Lakewood Fairgrounds which was a true flea market....good prices and just fun to go to.....But Lakewood closed down a number of years ago and Scott's had always been very overpriced.....
Building one still has it's fancy antiques.......but Building two has much better prices and more
fun stuff instead of stuffy stuff....
This is where I bought my giant moose head years ago....
The day was gorgeous in the high 70's and I enjoyed wandering around at the outdoor
stalls......where the people were very eager to make a good deal.....
My first purchase was......ofcourse.....Miss Liberty....Here she is at home with the rest of the
girls on my wall desk/shrine to the lady in the Harbor....
That would be her on the left and I paid a whopping $5.00 for her....the vendor wanted $10.
He was so funny....he kept explaining how he didn't think it was made in Japan and how unusual
the color of it was and how heavy it was......
Come on.....it was 5 bucks and it's a tacky Statue of Liberty....
Do I care where it was made.......
After wandering around outside I went in the huge building.....I believe there are over 2,000 dealers between the 2 buildings.... I didn't find any bargains but did spy the local
"Soul Food" concession and made plans to stop back for a bite after I was done
shopping.....
Back outside I stopped back at the man that sold me Miss Liberty and bargained him down on this set of 4 milk glass plates....He wanted $10.....then went down to $8. and then to $6. if I packed them up myself....I happily handed over the $6. and wrapped them myself...
He provided the paper.....
When I got home I discovered that the 4 milk glass cups I bought a few months ago at the
GW for 50 cents a piece fit and matched perfectly.....so for $8.00 I have a great set....
Perfect for a tablescape Thursday!
And then I found this little gem....isn't it cute....
Made by Fenton Glass Company it's a
"Puff Box"
from 1955/56....
used on a vanity tray I love the name and it cost all of $5.00
There was a lovely mother and daughter selling all sorts of goodies and the minute I stepped
into their booth they said "tell us what you like and we'll make you a good deal"....
I like people that are ready to make a sale....
they said how bad business has been with the economy and I commented that people have a
choice......
buy tchotskis or buy food....
I opted for the milk glass and she took $15. off the price....
I cringed at paying $20. but it's so pretty and I still had money to spare for lunch...
So with all my purchases made I went back inside to get something to eat...
They were even having a sale.....
Being waited on by a man that looked remarkably like
Snoop Dogg...
I feasted on hot turkey with stuffing and gravy....cranberry sauce...green beans..
mac and cheese and corn bread....All for $6.00....marked down from $8!!
I hesitated for a minute but everyone had plates of food so I figure what the hay...it has to be good....and it was delicious....
So.....I made great purchases.....had a great meal.....and had a good day all around....
A much needed good day.
I put on my big straw hat......put the top down on the Bug......
cranked up Benny Goodman on the CD player and I was waiting on
Jonesboro Road to get back on the highway.....
Stopping at the red light I found myself stopped next to a man holding a sign
declaring that he was homeless and needed money for
shoes.....clothes.....and food.....
No sign that he would be willing to work for these things he just wanted money....
And ladies wouldn't we all like to have money for more shoes.....
making brief eye contact I tried to stay back a bit.....
As the light changed and I went to drive away I hear him yell at me....
"Bitch".....
Is it any wonder that he's homeless and in need of new shoes with an attitude like that.
But I wasn't about to have him ruin my lovely Sunday!
Miss B is anxiously awaiting the curtain to go up on her new 2010 Calendar...
This is the question Daughter asked the Boss last week when he called her

Another great checkered floor in a New York kitchen.

What no white cabinets.....this is the kitchen of 2009..
no question what color this floor is....
Touches of 1940's green...
dark wood island top goes nicely with the dark wood floor..
Grandpa has old 1950's bar stools like these down in his basement...We've been trying for years to convince him to pass them along to us....

A few months ago daughter launched a new blog and made the mistake of asking Mom to be a contributor......

And people wonder why I refer to her as
