A very nice lady, Shirley Turner, here in Northern Kentucky has a wonderful little antique shop as a hobby, and sometimes I catch her open, othertimes, I don't....TODAY I DID!!! 
After visiting, which we always do--she's very dear--I scoured around and found some of the coolest things ever!! I got an oleo mold that is a ceramic glazed pottery crock with a lid, that has a figure of a beautiful jersey cow, reclining in a green field on the top of the crock ($10.00). AND, I got a wonderful old dairy crock from a local dairy ($8.00) AND, I got a red gingham half apron with smocking ($1.00) AND, THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE, an antique handmade toy high chair for dollies (or in my case, a favorite stuffed animal). It's perfect. And it was $12.00!!
I was sooo elated driving back from lunch I almost floated in here...I will take some photos when I get home

I forgot to mention that first I went to my favorite little Taquiera called La Mexicana and got two bistec (beef) tacos with cilantro, onion and lime, a side of beans and a take home cup of their PHENOMENAL salsa (it's a tomatillo salsa)...THEN I went shopping at Shirleys :)

She's very reasonable, I think, Amie... and she's sooo dear. She does a lot of auctions, and estate sales, but I've never NOT been able to afford things in her shop. She had this awesome set of kitchen utensils with the old green painted handles (rolling pin, potatoe masher, egg beater, etc..) for $25.00 total. I think there were 6 pieces in all.
I can't wait to get out of here to go home and put everything up :)

Jonni, sounds like you had a nice time. I love tomatillo salsa- just made 34 qts! the taco's sound great.
I love gingham aprons! I am looking for a creamer shaped like a cow- where the cream comes out the mouth. I haven't found one yet- but I keep looking.
Blessings, Debra

and last but not least, the Ed Murray Daylily that Miss Bee Haven sent me, in all it's glory!

Thanks, girls! I'm glad you think so, too...Not too bad for wolfing down a couple of tacos and heading to Shirleys! I never come out of there empty handed, but today was special :)

Jonni, you really had a great lunch!! Everything you got is so pretty. I love the gingham apron. What a beautiful design on it. That little cow crock is really sweet. Congratulations on some great finds!
