Moi? NOT go antiquing???...When Pigs Fly!

Are you ready to go antiquing? It's time to go spend our virtual money again!! My friend Linda at Nina's Nest and I are going back to the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta, Georgia. Do you want to come along? Well...come follow us! We're the ones in the U-Haul! Here we are! Let's go see what we can find!
Ohh! How about this cute flying pig for starters? Only $22. Hmmm...OK, in the U-Haul it goes!


Are these not just the cutest things?? I want both of them...the sheep for sure! They are $45 each. It's the little blue and white striped base that I love so much.



You know I can't pass a rooster! Hmmm...this one is marked down to $30! I love his feathers!

Well...knock me down and call me Howdy!! Do you see what this is?? Do you remember my post on the Presidential china patterns? Here are salad plate sized versions of five of them! The Madison china was green though, I think. These range in price from $16 to $21 each. (Click here to see that post.)

I love this display! It's so colorful. I think geraniums are my favorite flower and there are some more roosters. See, I told you I can't walk past one without stopping!

And here's another on a tray. Hmmm...$57....a might pricey. Hey! It's virtual money!

Hoh hoh hoh...bonjour mesdames!!! C'est moi...Jacques-Louis....le cousin de Jean-Claude et Nicholas-Henri! Oh là là! It looks like we've found Jacques-Louis, the third cousin twice removed of Susan's pigs at Between Naps on the Porch! (Click here to see Susan's pig post.) He will go home with you for only $34!

Here's one for all you cloche lovers....$42.50. I love the blue and white cake stand, too. It's $28.75 and of course you'll want them both. Hmmm...carry the one...that's $71.25. What do you think?

I fell in love with these! These are antique English carving utensils. The fork is $35 and the knife is $48. Just look at those bone handles! I'll bet they have carved a lot of meat. Maybe these are the ones that carved the Christmas goose when Tiny Tim said "God bless us, every one!"

Baaaaad news! Do you remember the goat rack that I have been eyeing? It's gone. :-( But I found this sheep hook. Uhhhhh..no....a little creepy, but only $24.50!

I have never seen anything like this! It's a chain. The tag says that it can be hung or displayed in a bowl. Can you see what it is........?

It's little tiny earthenware cups! Aren't they cute? It's $32. I'm afraid I'd take it home and cut it up for a giant mouse picnic!!

I love this bunny pillow! Let's see.....$195. Wow! Oh, but remember....it's virtual money! You can have anything you want!

While we are looking at bunnies, here are Mr. and Mrs. Cottontail...$78.95 for the pair! I love their little outfits!

Ohhhhhh! Look at this! A vintage child's tea set in this cute basket for $19! You've gotta love this one!

I saved the best for last. Yes, it's another rooster, but this one has a story. It was purchased at an estate sale and was made for a special teacher by her students because it was something they knew she would love. I nearly cried when I saw it! The teacher in me wanted to buy it and bring it home to be loved. But he was $135....not virtual money! :-( I hope someone special will buy him! Any volunteers??

Well...I'm ready to head out, are you? Let's pack up the U-Haul. What did you buy? All this shopping has made me hungry!! How does Italian sound to you?
