My day off

Yesterday, I went to Adamstown, PA to go Antiquing. That's right. I went Antiquing. In Pennsylvania. My friend Gail has recently opened a new pet store called Three Tiny Terriers. All of her displays are antiques. She is a true antique-er. Since I had the day off yesterday, she asked if I would like to join her. I, of course, said YES! So off we went to Adamstown, PA. Me being the geek I am, took photos with my cellphone. Some stores were hard because employees would follow you around and I felt weird trying to take photos. But I took them anyways. Here are the highlights of my first antiquing experience.


I had to take a photo of this for my blog...It seemed so appropriate!



And where would Skipper be without Barbie?



And who didn't have a Cabbage Patch growing up? Now I am jealous that I didn't have this lamp!



Growing up, my favorite toy was my toy cash register. I CONSTANTLY played with it. Don't ask. So I had to take this photo. My mom will appreciate it.



Now. I told my friend that if I were to ever become a collector, I would collect cameras. Here's only one of the beauties I saw.



I just couldn't get over this retro-TV. So, since I don't have money to buy everything I like, I took a photo instead.



I almost didn't take a picture of this. But I was so overwhelmed by seeing it I thought I had to share it.



I had to look twice at this. Then read it's tag. It's a double-seater for an outhouse. BRILLIANT.



This was the very first item I saw that said YOU MUST TAKE MY PHOTO. I was so intrigued by this product. It was then followed by the viewing of the outhouse seats. This store was amazing!



Remember how I said that if I were an antique-er, that I would collect cameras? Well, I found this beauty. And was mesmerized. She is now mine. :) Along with another one from 1910.


I am officially now....an antique-er!

Congratulations on becoming an antique-er!
P.S. That Cabbage Patch Kid lamp is ugly, and what exactly ARE those leg things? :)

Those legs are prosthetics. That was the main attraction in the "medical section" in that store. Weird huh?
