We made a quick trip over to see Milly at Second Hand Rose Antiques today. We haven't been since August and so we were overdue!
Plus, it was a great, fall day and Steve has a wonderful rental vehicle this weekend while his Santa Fe is in for repairs: we have a brand new Jeep Wrangler (4-door) convertible for the weekend.
Love! Must have it! It's maroon with a black soft top.
Love!
Anyway, Milly was so busy today I didn't take a lot of pictures. We'll be going back in the next few weeks - the annual Main to Main celebration is coming up as well as the Fasching, so we'll definitely be back.
Milly had some real oddities this time, including a shark preserved in formaldehyde which was just creepy. I tried to take a picture but it came out blurry. Thank me later.
This Coca-Cola lamp (and phone) were cool:
Milly tells me the phone lights up when it rings.
And here is a lovely milk glass tray which came home with me:
Mink stole, anyone?
This piece is really cute; love the shape:
Or how about a lovely Duncan Miller swan?
There were several new pieces in the area of kid toys; Milly had two child sized stoves:
And dolls:
Supposedly these pictures glow in the dark; that might creep me out if I was a kid, but you never know:
And this kiddie juke box was cute:
Winter is coming...how about a sled?
This Little Sprout telephone still works:
This is one of the petticoats that we help Milly unpack on our last visit; she's cleaned and pressed them and WOW at the detail on them! I can't imagine how long it took someone to make this:
It was a quick trip today and there were so many people in and out of the shop today I didn't want to get too much in the way taking pictures so we spent most of the time just poking around.
I bought the milk glass tray, a salt spoon, we found an old slide projector so we can finally look at Steve's old slides from Germany, and I bought a couple of other little things.
We met some friends for dinner at Nicky's in Dixie Inn, pulled the top off the Wrangler, and headed back down the interstate toward home.
One day I'm coming to Shreveport and you're going to take me there! Heaven!
