One dime. I didn't feel guilty, either, because the guy was in the junk business.<br /><br />Chuck, you got that right. In this store I took the proclamation to mean "If I am buying from you, it is junk; if I'm selling, an antique."vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-84194107651508814602015-10-16T10:57:40.380-04:002015-10-16T10:57:40.380-04:00In the antique store, one woman's junk is anot...In the antique store, one woman's junk is another woman's antique treasure.Secondary Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-70587458280869863712015-10-16T10:44:36.262-04:002015-10-16T10:44:36.262-04:00Vanilla, I try not to feel guilty about my purchas...Vanilla, I try not to feel guilty about my purchase, but I did ask her twice if she was sure that was all she wanted for the vase. <br /><br />Once I found a VanBriggle vase at an antique place in Illinois that had booths. It was marked one dollar. When I took it to the counter to pay, the person ringing up sales told me he was sorry but he couldn't sell it to me because he was sure the person who had the booth did not know what it was worth. I just pretended I was sorry not to get a pretty little white vase and I left. Well, I was sorry, but not for the reason he thought.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222653231278680963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-73725417425847210332015-10-16T09:04:27.244-04:002015-10-16T09:04:27.244-04:00Vee, an old empty Durkee's spice can for six b...Vee, an old empty Durkee's spice can for six bucks, for instance, and we still have it in our spice cabinet!<br /><br />You found a really nice thing and the lady gave it to you!vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-92192085561259438742015-10-16T08:18:11.166-04:002015-10-16T08:18:11.166-04:00Antique stores send me into a blue funk.

I'm not old enough to have used antiques. <br /><br />I did get a great buy at a neighborhood garage sale two weeks ago. A crystal vase that matches Mom's set. The lady had no idea what it was. I asked her if it was old and she said she received it from the family member who cared for the estate of her grandmother. Not liking the vase, she stored it in her basement for several years (until said garage sale). So, for $3 I got a beautiful piece of crystal.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222653231278680963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-23232044796867736092015-10-15T22:45:09.667-04:002015-10-15T22:45:09.667-04:00Grace, yes, it is a different strokes thing, I gue...Grace, yes, it is a different strokes thing, I guess.<br /><br />Lin, especially on a fall day such as the one described here.

I'm like that ...Haha...Grace's comment....<br /><br />I'm like that too. I'd rather go walking around exploring than go into an antique store. I don't like the smell of them for some reason.
