It gets harder and harder to find these little children’s old cowboy boots. These were from Texas…of course.

Snagged this treasure at The Scary Baby hotel, at Fredericksburg Trade Days, Fredericksburg, TX.

Antique malls are my most satisfying shopping venues. I can’t remember the last time I went to ‘the mall’. Oh, yea, for a gift card from Penny’s for my mom. One of the things I hear often as I check out is, “My, you have quite a variety of items here!”

And it’s true, my interests are many and varied and range from collectible treasures to well, just the weird and abandoned.

I love, love , love this incomplete set of glasses with screen printed California landmarks. I got them cheap because, as you can see, one is missing from the set. And that’s O.K. with me as it gives me something to hunt for when I’m out. However, if you happen to see these anywhere when you are out, drop me a line, I’m looking to complete the set.

Where did I get it?   JUNKEE CLOTHING EXCHANGE, 960 S. Virginia Street, Reno, NV

If you grew up NOT wearing a helmet when you rode your bicycle, or even a seat belt,  these will not be anywhere near as scary as they look.

Somehow we all lived.
