Treasures Aplenty

Here's the loot from my little trip! 

How sweet are these cupcake picks?

~*~

 And their little bunny brothers!

 Pink and blue bird and chick picks

~*~

 Super cool Beth Singer Design tile

~*~

 A new deck for my card addiction collection... can you see the silver lily-of-the-valley flowers?

~*~

 I have no good reason for having purchased this rusty metal travel clock.  The front is so cloudy you can barely see through it!  Just one of those things I bought because I knew no one else would love it like I do.

~*~

 Two-table bridge scorepads with tallies in a horoscope theme- new old stock

~*~

 Loads of ephemera.  I'm trying to figure this stuff out.  Apparently there was some deal where you sent in your cardboard punch card and received prizes.

~*~

My favorite one... I would LOVE to win one of these!  I think I'm a little late though.  I can't find a date, but I'm guessing 60s.

~*~

So there you have it.  Not tons, but I sure had fun looking!!  Most of this will be in sosovintage at some point, but if there is something you must have right now, just let me know ;)

Trip Highlights

 How was your weekend?  Mine was fabulous!  I had such a lovely time in Berkeley Springs.  No worries, though, I'm not moving there.  It has the right small-town vibe, and is situated in an extremely beautiful area.  But, I don't get the feeling that the town has all the advantages for schools and kids that I would want for Sophie.

 My friend and I met around 11:30 at the hotel, checked in, then went to town to have lunch.  Apparently it was "girlfriends weekend" in town.  We never were able to figure out if it was girlFRIEND weekend or GIRLfriend weekend, but it became kind of a silly joke all day.

We ended up at Temptations Cafe and both had the crabcake special.  SO good!!!  Giant chunks of crab meat, almost no filler.  Had we realized that every shop in town closed at 5:00, though, we might not have lingered so long.  We still managed to squeak in two antique malls and a couple of artsy shops before everything shut down for the evening.

The weather could not have been more perfect.  70ish degrees and partly sunny.  We ended up whiling away the rest of the afternoon and evening, and once we were hungry for dinner it was 10 pm.  Guess what our meal choices were at that time?  McDonalds or Sheetz.  Decisions, decisions.  We chose the latter... basically a sandwich shop located inside of a large gas station for those who don't know.  Not the most elegant, but it was fresh and more or less satisfying.

The next afternoon on the way to pick up Sophie, I found myself in a gigantic building, the Hancock Antique Mall.  Oh, dear- how horrible!  What was a girl to do?  Shop of course!  I didn't buy much, but what I left with was cute.  I'll share the spoils of my trip tomorrow!  Have a great week!
