Mark’s glass is sporting Tenderheart Bear (and for those of you who aren’t cool enough to remember which one that is, it’s the one on the left) and my glass has Cheer Bear on it.

I was a bit excited about going to the post office earlier…

And rightly so!

I opened my package and …

I went to the Brass Armadillo last night in Des Moines. Yes. I have no money left this month…but I bought more ceramics in preparation for next week’s Market Day bazaar next Saturday.  I figure it’s a good investment as long as I get a few sales out of the deal.

Anyway, here’s a greatest hits of my antiquing adventure last night.  I was on a speed shopping trip, only looking for a specific thing, so I probably missed a bunch of stuff.

 

This is probably one of the creepiest dolls I've ever seen.

This one is right up there with it.

This is pretty fantastic. Bionic Woman lunchbox. I want one!

Okay guys...I'm going back and getting this tonight I swear. Okay. Maybe not. I'll e-bay it. It wasn't in the best condition...and besides, I wasn't sure if I had this one or not (I don't — I just checked). She's my favorite care bear, so I assumed I did...I have the new version (several in fact). Anybody who wants to make my day and spend 10 bucks...be my guest. :)

I didn't look at the price on this, but it's the same pillow pal that DJ had on Full House. I used to have one of these guys, but not this one. If I find the one I had, I'm totally getting it.
