The thrill of the find and the hunt

Hello dear Reader. On Saturday I hit the Church of St. Augustine's yard sale. For once I tried to go when it opened and I think I will do it again. I didn't expect to find much and therefore didn't have much cash. Happily one of the reference librarians was helping at the sale and hid my goods, while I dashed out to a ATM. I found such good treasures, well, to me they are. One of them being another Beatrix Potter figurine. Shari and I are starting to collect them after being inspired by Susan Branch and also for their cuteness. I'm not familiar with Appley Dappley, but that's who I spied on a table of tchotchkes. Mr. Bubbe, was front and center examining everything. 

This just like new rug was $10! I overheard that after 12 pm, everything was 1/2 priced. So I went back for this one and it was $5! It looks and feels like silk, but it's Viscose.
