Old Age Day by Day October 6, 2012

My friend and I did a little antique shopping yesterday, and enjoyed looking.  She bought nothing and I settled on a small, cheap table that had a painted bird on it.  I'm fascinated with birds lately.  But we oohed and aahed over jewelry, coins, teapots, plates and lamps.  My friend was looking at a pendant set in rose gold with butterscotch jade.  And truly, it looked like you could eat it; a really yummy color.  I drooled over a Native American cuff bracelet with inset that depicted a pueblo village.  I've never seen anything like it.  We found a small walnut table, just beautiful wood, that we both loved.  She fell for a lazy susan for Chinese new year, but we couldn't find out if the hand painted dishes would hold food without being ruined, so she decided not to risk it.  We managed to spend a couple of hours in this one store, just having fun dreaming.  Neither of us needs a thing.  But we are admirers.  We did the same thing in an outlet complex.  Lots of looking, but nothing we needed.  Then we had a lunch by the river and each ordered the same meal:  fish sandwich, cold slaw, and fries.  I hope we walked it off afterward!
