Antiquing with Friends

Yesterday PKM & Elizabeth came over for a visit.  We did a little chatting & antiquing.  Elizabeth brought me the cutest little fabric cone that she made & a pretty bone china trinket dish.  Aren't they sweet!  Pam was wearing her new PKM cherry shoes with a cherry top.  So Pam Kittyish!

We saw tons of great treats in the antique shops but  Pam & E were the only ones who bought anything.  I just drooled all day for a change.  I saw this wonderful old steamer trunk.  I didn't have my camera with me so asked PKM to take photos of it.  The fabric lining inside was so pretty & had that vintage faded look.  Aqua blue background on one side & green on the other side.

Several days ago I had an appointment in Martinez & thought I'd cruise by downtown & the antique stores there.  I happened upon an estate sale on the way. Here are a few finds.

Fun sewing machine drawers for storage.  A few books & a pretty blue dish.  An old record & little metal round makeup tin.

After the girls left & went to my mailbox & found some good reading.  All in all a very good day.
