I see stunning pieces of furniture - amazingly crafted and lovingly kept in pristine condition... Oh how I want to buy them! But - my small home will not accommodate any more furniture, so I stick with small pieces like this..
..and this..
...and this.
Well every so often, I also like to buy something for my husband. After all, he is so good about not complaining when I bring in more "old stuff" as he calls it! Well, last week I found some old coin collector books - you know the kind that has the small circle where you press the coin into it. He likes stuff like that and this set was all pennies, so I knew it would go cheap. The reason I found it interesting was because there were 4 steel pennies like this one. I believe that they were only minted in 1943.
He was really excited when I gave the books to him....but he was even more excited when upon closer inspection, one of the books had a page of these!
Indian head pennies going all the way back to 1889!

We love going to auctions, too, although we've gotten impatient lately and prefer Estate Sales -- in and out -- but the bargains are not there! We also have a corgi! My first time here -- great site!
The things you bought for you are beautiful!! Real treasures I'm sure. I love coins so I liked what you got for your husband. One of my sons has a collection of coins from our travels in Europe. He's 14 now, and with Europe going Euro (his coins are pre-Euro), he's amassing quite a collection :-)
Fabulous finds! I love to go to these shops, sales, yard sales in the summer. Amazing fun!
