Junk Shopping...

    The first five photos  were taken in the Peacock Perch  antique store in Rossville, In.   I liked these old scales. and the tiny tea set. This store is not lit too well and is small . It was crowded with eleven shoppers while I was there.  They specialize in old books and antiques.
   Lots of glassware. Many colors. I think this was lit with a black light, look at the electric green.
  Many little figurines. This display is sitting on a very nice antique cabinet.
  I liked this old toy stove. I really did not check many prices, so I can not tell what it would cost.
  I did give a look at the prices here...as you can see on the tag. If you are collecting this may be a good price I would not know.
 Now this picture and the next was taken at J&J Primitives, also in Rossville.  The wash board are real. There were ladders, picket fence pieces, crates, and many old things....plus new things.
 I think this dry sink is authentic. Like the washboards in the store. Nice old bowls too. I did buy one thing. I'll show it later. My daughter , Liz bought some things with chickens on them  for her kitchen. She is decorating a bit farm house style now.
  Hope everyone is doing well today. Prayers for those in need. XO

    1. Laurie, It's kind of funny the things that our grandkids do not know the names for. But then I know there are things from way back that I have no idea what they are. Hope you are doing well. Getting some spring days. xoxo,Susie

  17. Oh, I love those figurines. There's something about the old figurines that melt my heart. I have one that is from a 'Precious Moments' collection. That pink rose vase is gorgeous. There's lots of goodies there at the antique store. :~)
