Dig This Treasure!

Time to update y'all about is the rest of my trip to South Carolina! I told you about how the flea market was a bust, so when we left, my mom looked up where we could find an actual antique shop nearby. She found one and we drove to it, but it ended up taking us to a grocery store parking lot when we followed the directions. This grocery store happened to be by a Goodwill, so of course I made my mom and Ann stop in to see if I could find a Big Hug Mug. I know. We’re obsessed. I didn’t find a mug, but I did find a brand new copy of NOS4A2, which is a badass book if you haven’t read it yet. 

Finally, we discovered that the antique store had changed locations, and were on our way. As soon as we pulled up, we were pumped. There was stuff all over outside, and the place looked pretty big! 

However, upon looking at the first few items, we knew this place was going to be mad overpriced. 

I know Dr. Pepper is mad good, but that’s a little too much for a pop crate. 

Oh well–we had to make lemonade. Even if stuff was overpriced, there was a lot to look at. It was a booth style antique store, so there were some cool rooms/areas, including this Pyrex room. 

By the way, if you’re into Pyrex (and other cool treasure seekers), be sure to check out the Pyrex Thrifter Sisters’ blog! 

Ok, back to the store. There was a lot to look at and sift through…

I wonder if that boy knows he’s now world famous. 

I really liked this old cabinet. 

I enjoyed that this Christmas postcard had a very Halloween-y font–the icicles really make it… Christmassy and not at all creepy. 

There was one thing I almost bought: 

My oldest niece had an imaginary friend when she was little, and his name was Tiko. A year later when her younger sister was of imaginary-friend-having age, she started talking about HER imaginary friend. And his name was My Tiko. I sent this to my brother and it gave him a good laugh.

You’ll be shocked to hear that my mom didn’t buy a single thing. I did buy one super teeny tiny beagle mini that I found, but that was it. 

The highlight of the day/night occurred when we went to my aunt’s new enormous house and met her two dogs. Here’s me with the super cute friendly one. OMG, he’s the cutest muppet. 

Now, here is a video of his brother. Before I got down there, my mom kept referring to him as “Cujo” and now I understand why. 

Stay tuned for a few more SC updates!
