My sister & I went to the winter antique show on Saturday. It's held in the cafeteria of a local high school and always something we look forward to.This year they had some new vendors and a lot more to look at, which meant we soon found some items to take home. The photo is of my purchases. Yes, that's another giant pine cone, but a bit smaller and more colorful than the one I got last year. I was thrilled to find a copy of "Wind in the Willows" with Arthur Rackham illustrations, I really like his artwork. There's also several vintage Cleveland postcards and a small print of red deer in the snow, which was part of a pair, but the other image featured a hunter, so I didn't want it. There's also a tall green jar, with a home canning type lid, not sure what I'll end up putting in it, but it was so pretty, I couldn't resist.
My sister bought a story book and an antique pin and we both had an enjoyable afternoon, even with the sharp wind and snow pellets swirling around our walk to the car. We stopped for Chinese food on the way home, capping a fun day.
