I wasn't going to...

It was Saturday...

it was after I dropped Cullan off at work 

and as I was driving home.

I took the long way...

 through the old section of town with all the charming houses

and the cute little yards fenced in old antique fencing.

I love this part of town...
it makes me feel all nostalgic and dreamy as I wonder what is inside those old houses.

The little narrow street runs across a bridge and up a hill and by a little old grocery store

and then right past a favorite thrift store.

I wasn't going to stop.

 Really.

I had no plans to do it. 

I wasn't looking for anything... but as it I saw it coming up... I wondered what might be inside.

There just might be some vintage Shiny Brites, 

or an old tinsel tree or something...  and so...

I did it.

I stopped.

I wandered around - 

and yes, there were Shiny Brites but they were outrageously priced so I kept wandering

and then I rounded the corner by the dishes 

and there they were.

A stack of delightful, delicate, dainty creamy dreamy white plates and bowls~

over a dozen pieces in all.

Covered in details and scalloped edging...

I was loving them even before picking them up.

Then... when I saw the price tag on each of them... it was done.

Uhmmm... yeah...they were mine.

:)

Of course,

 I had to play with them and set a table in the little cottage

Oh the fun!!! 

I even found an absolute favorite flower at the grocery store too!

Here's a little peek...
