Marketplace 3301 Madness

Eric has been working some crazy hours because of the potential strike at Exxon, and, as a result, I've been a little lonely. Not today, though! Chrissie came over for a waffle this morning, then we spent the day scouring thrift stores before we ended up at Marketplace 3301. This place is huge! And it's packed with booth after booth of antiques, furniture, "collectibles," and, of course, a whole lotta junk. We wandered around for hours! Poor Chrisse, I'm pretty sure she was tired of me running from booth to booth squealing "Look at this! No, look at THIS!!!!" I think I may go back this evening to purchase a couple of things....? Eric willing, of course.....
Here are a few highlights....

Chrissie models this camera, which, including case and awesome flash, was 25$

 Two of these for 45$? Yes, please! (I may have to go back for them). They were in remarkably good shape.

Lovely old paper cutter. So tempting. But a bit small.

I like this...but it was veneer. No bueno.

One of these MAY come to live in our fireplace room. Maybe. They're both quite fabulous.

This piece....will also most likely end up in our house. Solid wood. For 75$, but they came down to 63$ (they are holding it for me right now). Pretty brilliant. Probably will add different pulls.

 There were also quite a few great rugs. And Chrissie bought a FABULOUS print; I wish I had a picture of it. Another thing that caught my eye (which I failed to take a picture of), was a dresser and high-boy set from the fifties. It's totally the style I like and in perfect condition. It's just that....it's veneer. Ridiculously good price. RIDICULOUS. Maybe I'll take a pic of it if I can convince Eric to come back there with me tonight. Fun day. Thanks, Chrissie! :)
