[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 509298, member: 84"] Told ya I live in a great little town. :) That was FUN!!!! I only bought a candle at the targeted shop.........he has nice things, just a tad out of my price range and tastes. BUT the real fun part was easy child and I took the time to visit other shops we'd been wanting to stop in. One is an antique shop that also promotes local craftsmen and artists. Great place, lots of awesome things in there. Picked up an old cigar wooden box that is beautiful for Darrin next year for xmas. He goes gaga over my cig pack boxes which are actually trash, so Nana came up with this idea.....and they're great to collect. I'm not going to complain when I got a really nice one for 6 bucks. Found an antique highchair in there too, looks to be from the 30's or 40's meant to sit the child at the table, there is no tray and it is huge for 15.00 and in excellent shape. Now I have 3 grandsons who can't reach the table well. Brandon uses the "high chair" papa used at his age and it's special. Now I have something for Connor to use that is very similar, and Oliver can use the booster seat that has a tray until he's older. :) This shop may also sell some of my crocheted doll clothes, they're selling sewn clothing for american girl by another lady. Another is a sort of consignment / thrift store that couple up with the local amish community (talk about smart). All clothing and shoes today were half off, and they had really nice things that were already cheap. Picked up 2 really nice sweaters for under 4 bucks, got Aubrey a beautiful sundress for summer for a dollar and Oliver a new pair of shoes for a dollar. Then I made my find! Found a 1960-70's fisher price dollhouse WITH the furniture and little people!!! The grandkids are gonna go bonkers for it. They've already fell head over heels for the vintage fisher price farm set I picked up for Brandon and Connor to play with since Darrin and Aubrey aren't over thrilled to share their older more expensive farm set with the little ones.........but now they all play with it. lol I told easy child that I'll be doing this a LOT from now on. There were a couple of shops we didn't make it too because we'd already been at it for 2 hrs. :rofl: I think we cash mobbed most of the downtown this afternoon. :) But that is sort of the point.......once you're there, they hope you'll check out the other stores too.
