A Joyful Handmaiden: Afternoon delights from the antique store

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

My first antique copy of Dickens, a small yellow mixing bowl, and a baby spoon from the 20's -- all for under $10.

Cheri said...: Oh I'm so glad to know that, Sarah Jane. I've never read anything by Dickens, so this will be the first!; April 15, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Laura said...: Great finds! Especially the Dickens. :-); April 15, 2009 at 4:46 PM
Sarah said...: Oh!! I almost envy you having never read Dickens. You are in for a superb treat!!! David Copperfield is my absolute favorite but the Pickwick Papers are a close second. It took me a little while to get into but do persevere - it is wonderful once the characters and setting are established!!; April 15, 2009 at 8:26 PM
