How we spent our "Free Friday" - Part Deux

Hope everyone is having a GREAT Labor day weekend so far! I just dropped Jim off at (not in) the river so he could go fishing this morning. I wanted to finish my post about our Friday at National Road Antique Mall in Cambridge City. Also wanted to post the schedule of events for their "Party in the Park", Sept. 6th and 7th for those who are interested.

Ok, so continuing with the tour... Here are a couple cute "baby flowers"...


...as well as a pretty lady figurine...I used to get this type of thing every year for Christmas from my Grandma Dietzel.



Next up is a BEAUTIFUL Hoosier cabinet. I have been coveting one of these for years, even though I have no place to put one. (The picture doesn't do it justice at all!) My friend Mona has a GREAT one which just fits in her kitchen perfectly!



Here is something you don't see everyday...well, I guess SOME of you might! We did have milk cows for awhile on the farm when I was growing up, so I am not completely ignorant of the useage of this item. (I never actually used one, though!)



I love old advertising tins such as this one...



What antique shop would be complete without a jewelry section? National Road Antique Mall had SEVERAL cabinets full of cool jewelry, but my camera wasn't co-operating very well...




Here are a couple of dresser sets that caught my eye...



This one came complete with a carrying case. I often wonder about the original owners of all these things...what kind of person were they and what kind of life did they lead?



Lots of goodies to look at here:



Something for summer:



And as Tammy mentioned in her blog today, since summer is, for all intents and purposes, pretty much over, here is something for fall...



Here is a display that really caught my attention. Are these lightning rods, do you think, or just "pretties" to dress up the yard?



Last, but by no means least, in finishing up the tour, I wanted to share a couple pictures. Old, vintage pictures are my passion, but, alas, I am running out of wall space...This first one is a pretty one of roses. I could almost smell them...



This last one is a close up of a much larger picture which was entitled, "What Happened To Your Hand?":



Well, that concludes the tour. Hope you all enjoyed it! If I find time later, I may post the 3 purchases I made on Friday...Also, I will be posting about visiting Lauren on Saturday in Bloomington... (As all you Moms can imagine, THAT made my weekend!)

Have a GREAT Labor Day!

ETA: After I finished posting this, I turned on the TV and was reminded about what is going on along the Gulf Coast. Does anybody have any news of where Charles and Judy Dillon are at right now? There website doesn't say...Prayers are needed...
