We planned our path to cross with The Avon Flea. I only get to this one once or twice a summer, so it was a HAPPY DAY - Especially when I spotted this, sitting right out in the open on a table...
For those of you who have followed my blog for a while, you know that I have been in search of a deck of Tarot Cards for a few years. ~I was almost to the breaking point of just buying a 'new' deck!~ THIS DECK is perfect - doesn't look to have ever been used, complete, dated 1961, and only 50¢ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!There were LOTS of goodies to look at, wonder about and drool over. What came home with us other than the deck of cards was (were?)...
DH & I spent LOTS of time Sunday night looking for info about the decanters made by HAEGER - both on the computer and in our stack of Royal Haeger books ... not much to be found, BUT...
A turq/white Royal Haeger dish, an Ezra Brooks Liquer Decanter (Haeger?) and FOUR sweater clips. Oh, and a bag of golf tees for DH (not photo'd - imagine that.)
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN...
... You make a purchase, and the research ends up being almost as much fun as the purchase?!
The Sweater clip to the bottom of the photo has a pendant on it - round with a seed in it. I have seen these in different pieces of vintage jewelry before, and now that I owned one, I wanted to know what kind of seed it is... Here's what I found: MUSTARD SEED BUBBLE CHARM !

You find out that something you purchased just because 'it spoke to you' or 'you adored it' was actually by a designer that you admire?!
As we were scouring the Haeger books...
DH: (pointing to a photo) "Hey, this almost looks like that one you have on the porch table..."
Me: (looking closely) "It is!!"
***Remember this purchase from 9/08, which has been stored away in the attic, awaiting it's appearance on the 'Hawaiian Porch'?? Turns out he is a 1950's piece by Royal Haeger -HAWAIIAN STUD is actually NATURE BOY! ***
While at my parents, there was rhubarb to be had - which later resulted in THIS Raspberry-Rhubarb pie...
The journey home, HAD to include a stop by one of my favorite SEA GLASS beaches. Love 'new' fuel to keep me a practicing my soldering!!
GOOD TIMES.

My Great-Grandmother (the one that had the toasting glasses on the cakes...) always wore a Mustard Seed bubble - always. "Good luck", she said. I found one no long ago at a sale and was SO happy to have found it.
I'm your biggest fan, and I never knew you wanted Tarot Cards.....
Sounds like you had a fabulous day! Lucky YOU!
Great find of the tarot deck! I wonder what story it would tell...
