    Ok whichy, You flea market treasure hunter you..... Great haul of lovely booty..... Just be careful you will be come like Bee and have to have a special building to store it all in --- 67 Rubber Made crates to be exact. Not counting all the stuff hanging on the walls.

    Don't you just LOVE antique shows?
    Ooooo a ton of yummy things!

    The little lanterns are WONDERFUL!
    and buttons inside ... of course.

    Perche No! (why not!)

    I do like that ... Good idea!
    I have a vintage gumball machine
    filled with old pennies, so of
    course why not buttons in the
    salt & pepper shakers?

    Someday I am going to figure out
    how to create a slot in my penny-filled gumball machine where
    one can drop in a gumball to win
    some of the pennies ::giggle::
