Antiques

I really enjoy antique shopping. Not that I can afford much but I love to look! I have a couple of items that I am looking for specifically. . . . .I want an old cake plate, preferably one that is a stand cake plate and the other is a pretty platter and I always love looking at the glassware. I found a platter yesterday that closely matches a plate I have but I thought that it was a little over priced so I left with out it. I also like to look at the books. I found one that I really wanted but it cost $45.00 and there was no way I could justify getting it. It was written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and was called On The Way Home. I hope to one day collect all of her books (I think I have a few but they are packed away at my mom's house) but not at that price! Another thing I like to look at/for is Pyrex bowls. I have been looking for the bowl set that is primary colors and there are 4 or 5 bowls (depending on the set you find) but they are pretty pricey and right now I don't have room for them. Last year on a trip with my parents, my honey found me a set with a different pattern and I love them. They are the Snowflake Blue pattern and are in really good shape. My dream kitchen would be a vintage 50's kitchen. I love the appliances and colors from that era. When I find some pics of what I want my kitchen to look like, I will post some! Well, I feel like I am rambling (could be because it is really late or early depending on how you look at it!)
