Small, little cast-iron skillets. See the Pez dispenser? That's how small the skillets were. Strange yah?
Guess what this is.
It's a bed warmer. Back in the day (even before my day), they used to put hot coals in um and put um under the bed. It was $10.
I'm not sure, but I think this is a Wolf grill. It was $300!!
This sign was $2.
This was $1. Good thing it was missing the needle. I was almost gonna buy it. Whew! Saved by the missing needle.
I walked over to Geri who was buying a t-shirt.
It was a Hanes and only $3. I bought one for Wendell.
Sweetie bought these bracelets for $2 each.
Geri bought this cordless vac for $3.
Geri said this top is a BCBG Maxazria. Not sure if she bought it or not.
This portable grill was $5. It was new but seemed really flimsy so we didn't get it.

After lunch we went to Shimazu Store for some shave ice. There is a "no photography" sign inside the store. Actually there are "no touching this" and "no touching that" signs too.

Here's Didi going, "You need envelopes?"
This guy kept saying, "Everything is $1, UNLESS it doesn't look like it's $1." It made total sense to me.

Holy smokes, where do you folks keep all the stuff you buy! LOL
My closet is all full again, Mich.
You got some cool movies. I love "Rent" and "The Terminal".
I got Terminal 'cause Landon always says, "Medicine for goat." and he got it from that movie. I haven't seen Rent yet. I'll watch it next.
OMG..I love those earrings on the cover of that book...oh and those little cast iron skillets...a chef friend of mine in Chicago uses similar ones to make his signature "individual" cornbread ...ono...PICKLED MANGO SHAVE ICE !!!
I wonder if I can make those earrings for you. I got the tools, just need the material. Soooo looks like next time we go swap meet we gotta go try that shave ice again. Maybe you can figure out the ingredients.
So..Glenn says I should tell you...my chef friend...used to be Oprah's chef....hey..cornbread is cornbread..right ? Well, Glenn says, its THE very best cornbread...and...its all in DA PAN !!!
WOW!

Wow! That was a fun trip for me. Thank you! I like those stamps. The small cast iron skillets are fun! I wonder people eat less back then? I love to have them so that I could make individual 'cornbread' or better yet I could make individual oyako donburi.
Ooooh, individual oyako donburi!! What a great idea, Akemi!
