On our way to Plymouth, we stopped at the local hardware store for its first day of the Going Out of Business Sale. It was fun to wander around--saw things from the 1970s! I bought three little pieces of copper tubing that I can use for buttons on a purse! Or décor on a jacket...I like copper!
Next was an estate sale where the folks were eager for someone to talk to! I spent my last $1.50 on a card of ceramic buttons and a ceramic "spaghetti" poodle.
The Sewing Basket in Plymouth was a great fabric store (are there any other kind?) where Sheila found material for two table runners (buffet runners) and I got something for a blouse.
On the way back to the car from there we passed an old book shop. Sheila and Cary each got something from the stack of free books.
Cary's free book, sideways!
Next to Elkhart Lake. We were starting to get hungry, went into one place that was little more than a tavern, so drove to the Lake Street Café (and I really wasn't expecting a lot) which was a pleasant surprise. Nice menu! I had a salmon salad sandwich on homemade bread and fresh fruit. Cary got a chicken sandwich and pasta. Sheila got a veggie, thin crust pizza and a beer!
After lunch we stopped at a thrift store so I could look for some summer tops--Milwaukee hit 96 today, the hottest temp of the year! Not quite that hot where we are, but with the humidity, 86 degrees was plenty ugly. We still had fun!
Yesterday while we were visiting John and Marilyn, John took Cary with him to get a tractor tire repaired. The owner was a Pontiac guy--has 15 of them. He took Cary to his house to show him what wasn't at the shop. Cary didn't anticipate needing the camera, so no pictures. However, today while on our drive home, one of the cars, a 1962 Pontiac wagon passed us and I could get a photo.
When we got home I took a picture of my yard sale finds, the copper tubing and fabric I bought.
Buttons, a poodle, potential buttons and my fabric--metallic gold on green.
We are all pretty tired!
