Wimberley Market Days shopping... No Swine Flu Detected!

I always take a list when I go to any kind of flea market... because I have a tendency to let my eyes wander through all the uniquely beautiful items, and forget what the heck I was actually there looking for... This weekend, my list consisted of only 3-things...

Chair for Office

Wind Chime

people wearing masks (photos to take)

Here's what I came home with...

I think I did pretty good!

Pretty Pink Glass Candle Sticks...

not depression glass but...
a fantastic bargain at $3 for the pair...

I'm always on the lookout for depression glass. I knew the candlesticks were not, but I didn't care because, I knew they'd fit in just fine with my real depression glass...

I always look for one of 3-colors... Pink..Green..Yellow.
I have some of each...
This pretty sherbet which I thought was Pillar Optic pattern by Federal Glass...
a bargain at $4... probably worth about $12...
Turned out to be the more rare Paneled Optic by Federal Glass...
worth about $30! wooo-hoo!

Some of you know I collect Lladro Angels and Nuns...
Bought this piece from a fellow selling his deceased mothers collection...
He wanted $100, but said he'd take $75.. (I was ok with the $100)...
I said... "$75! Deal!"...
Current Value $245.
Now that was a major bargain!

Oh, and how about things on the list you say... well, got my wind chimes which will be donated to the Baby Bella raffle, and I will put a photo of them in a different post...

and the chair... finally found one... I've been looking for just the right chair, a reading chair in my new office renovation... only $20!
The perfect office chair... Low cane back, on casters, with a perfectly cushioned seat. After recovering the seat in French Toile, I'll decide whether to paint, or leave the finish the golden oak... what do you think?

The last thing on my list was to take photos of people wearing masks to protect themselves from the dreaded Swine Flu... We didn't see a single person wearing one! I was feeling disappointed, because I so wanted to share that with you... and then my sweet stepdaughter, Jen, ran across this little fellow...

Yep, he's from Mexico, so of course he was wearing his mask... Not sure if it will do this little piggy much good, but he was certainly gathering attention from passers-by for his vendors booth!

So there ya go... another successful day at Wimberley Market Days...
