However, the trip was very successful in being to catch up with friends. To say we ate well would be an understatement -- Ethiopian, Greek, dessert cafe with the most incredible bread pudding. I honestly don't know how I didn't gain weight.
In spite of the disappointment in Chicago, I really scored in Sheboygan last weekend. D and I went to Kohler for their Winterfest activities; so I, of course, had to stop at a couple Estate Sales. I was really excited because they were both on their 2nd weekend, and everything was 75%. The downside is the original prices were so overinflated that I cannot believe anyone paid full price.
I found a couple more pieces of milk glass, an apothecary jar and the Robin Hood book. Dave also had some success by finding some $.50 poker chips. (He may be unwilling to admit he likes these sales, but he always finds something he cannot leave without) Everything we bought was $.25-$1. My crystal decanter was a bit more at $8 from a local consignment shop.
Here is some more milk glass and a Fenton plate from another Estate.
Okay, so is it possible to have too much of one thing? I think I might need to go to milk glass anonymous. I found these pieces and the antique blocks at my local thrift store, for less than $2 each. I was SO excited to find a hand blown glass cheese dome for $4. I don't really care about the wood plate and may just re-donate. I also love the twin plates I found in Chicago for $1 each. Too bad those were my only finds in the big city.
Lastly, I also found a little present for the hubs. I was thrilled to have spotted this at the Goodwill near mom's house. All the pieces, and only $2!
