junque la rue...foto shopping

As is the case with many American Families our disposable income well lets just say there really isn't much to dispose of currently.  However I love to spend part of my day  off browsing through a couple of local junque shoppes.

This past week I discovered my new favorite past time.   A wise person once said, Necessity is the mother of invention!    I invented a new way to shop.  It is a lot like window shopping but I get to take something home with me.  I went foto shopping! 

 I took $20 and my camera to the local junque shoppe.  The idea was to shop with my camera.  I took pictures of everything I would buy if money were no object or at least if it was more readily available. 

I had a blast! 

This is one of my favorite finds of the day!  The tag read "old french dough riser".  I have never seen one before.  I hope it's still there the next time I stop by and I have a little more cash in hand. 

Check back for more of my foto shopping finds!

homer laughlin china...sweet demi

I stumbled on these sweet little demi cups and saucers from Homer Laughlin on a clearance table at an antiques store falling victim to the poor economy. 

I didn't know anything about Homer Laughlin China before picking these up and I don't know much more now.  I have not been able to locate this particular HL mark or this particular style on the Internet. 

If you have any information on these sweet little demi's or know of a good Internet source I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
