...Friday findings

Friday findings were few and far between, but they were FUN, and that is what counts - right?

(enamel & metal pendant .80¢ - anybody know anything about the signature NEUBERGER?? I'm not having much luck researching. That's okay, 'cause it's a keeper anyway!)
Looking back on my 'REALITY CHECK' post, I hope I didn't give anybody the wrong impression with that blog entry! I just found myself reflecting upon everything that 'I' /'WE' pour into our treasures from start-to-finish, and how absolutely INSANE we must appear to 'Outsiders' who don't 'get' our passion!! Yes, 'We Who Love Vintage Stuff' definitely view the whole process from a completely different perspective - perhaps through rose colored glasses at times...

we add extra hours to our day by getting up early, and have seen beautiful sunrises.
those 'sale signs' have taken us on roads that we may never have explored otherwise, and seen breath taking sights - journeys we have remembered.
we've explored Barns and Homes others can only dream of prowling through!there is adventure around every turn, a complete cast of 'characters' - yes some good and some not so good (shower maybe?!)... but we love them all, and find ourselves worrying, just a bit, when they aren't in their usual spot in line ahead of us at that estate sale.
if it wasn't in our hands, we wouldn't have a reason to research and learn about it - and all of that useless info rattling around in our heads comes in oh-so-handy!!
it really is a 'cheap addiction' compared to lots of them - have you seen the price of football tickets??!
the 'sale' is just kind of a validation of sorts... (oh, and it DOES support our 'habit'!!)

(old tin/bakelite CAMELS I 'Finally!' untangled... will give to a friend who adores Camels $1)

It's the PASSION for STUFF / JUNK ~ you either have it or you don't!
