things I didn’t buy at the antique shop
I went to the Brass Armadillo last night in Des Moines. Yes. I have no money left this month…but I bought more ceramics in preparation for next week’s Market Day bazaar next Saturday. I figure it’s a good investment as long as I get a few sales out of the deal.
Anyway, here’s a greatest hits of my antiquing adventure last night. I was on a speed shopping trip, only looking for a specific thing, so I probably missed a bunch of stuff.
This is probably one of the creepiest dolls I've ever seen.
This one is right up there with it.
This is pretty fantastic. Bionic Woman lunchbox. I want one!
Okay guys...I'm going back and getting this tonight I swear. Okay. Maybe not. I'll e-bay it. It wasn't in the best condition...and besides, I wasn't sure if I had this one or not (I don't — I just checked). She's my favorite care bear, so I assumed I did...I have the new version (several in fact). Anybody who wants to make my day and spend 10 bucks...be my guest. 
I didn't look at the price on this, but it's the same pillow pal that DJ had on Full House. I used to have one of these guys, but not this one. If I find the one I had, I'm totally getting it.

Dude, we should go antiquing one of these days. I heart the Brass Armadillo! If we go soon, I’ll even buy you that care bear for your birthday. (Late or early, you can decide.)

Also, while there, we should do a photo scavenger hunt of the most random objects we can find.
(Case in point, those creepy-as-hell dolls)
