We've been going to the Kam Swap Meet almost every week lately, and yet my sisters still get excited and just can't wait to look for treasures.

I hope you get to go Michele, but go early. It gets HOT by around 10:00.

Hahaha Susan, I think of you when I'm doing my swap meet posts. Just FYI we're not gonna be going this coming weekend.

I know Les. My closet's gonna get all stuffed again.

I love your plate/bowl finds!! I think that's what I'd be doing is hunting for some. I had a basket to hold paper clips at work. Now the basket sits on my craft table holding some small stuff... ;)

jalna said...

I think I gotta give away some of our old plates/bowls to make room for these new ones Betty.

Erick said...

Wow, cool stuff. Hey you can sell your plates there.

jalna said...

Erick, whadya mean "sell my plates"? Those are expensive plates. The class cost me $50 and I only made 3 plates.

SW said...
