Update on prize shopping

[helwen]

Went back to XMasTS and got a few more pitchers, and a couple of little glasses. Got a couple of nice tumblers at Pier1. Then got a couple of ceramic plates and some small nested ceramic bowls at Dollar Tree. The smallest bowl can be a simple salt cellar... in addition to the other stuff, I have this crazy idea to try to assemble a suitable dining set for 2 for $10 or less. I don't think I'm going to make it, as they didn't have proper utensils or napkins, although I suppose I could have gone with the wood spoons and cotton kitchen towels. I'm taking a few days off from hunting, until Sunday. We have a local flea market I've never been to, and I'm hoping they'll have old linens, small spoons, etc. I'm also going to talk to my apprentice Una's mom, Judith, who still does some business in antiques and often ends up with unwanted stuff (estate sales). So far I've spent $5 on the dining set for two...

Seems like free time is a precious commodity these days, doesn't it?

Wedding envelopes. Another scroll. Wedding scroll. Jewelrycraft, so I can afford this month's credit card bill...
