Junk Shop Haul

[crescentfiller]

Over the weekend, I made the rounds of the junk shops and antique shops in the area. I found a few nice bits (Watermans, Sheaffers, Parkers, a mint Conklin). And I picked up a Pile O' Brooks! All these in one place, and all of them in very nice condition. Last night I cleaned 'em and sacced 'em.  Now what?

Sauté them in butter and garlic?

 

Or you could write some holiday cards with them.

Seriously? And upset the "c-word" crowd?

Should I use dry heat?

Nice haul!

Wow, what a lovely collection.

 

Now, find some deserving porcupine with which to share those beauties.

I remember reading some of these books when I was a kid.  But I don't remember this one at ALL.  

LOVE the purple porcupine that "Harold" drew with his purple crayon!

YOU could be that porcupine!

I'd love to be the porcupine!  My first daily use pen was an Estie I found at an Antique store for $8. It was a green. I wanted a bright blue, but blue and red were $30, and I was a college student on a budget. I now have a blue and red (but none of the pastels). I love Esties.

esties

Short for esthetician.

I'm going to see my estie for a facial.

You are super sweet!

The pens look super sweet, too!  Very nice.  Maybe you could distribute them to those who have not been naughty!

I've been very naughty this year 😉

Did you get them at one location. If so, maybe a collector's collection. Pretty amazing assortment.

Congratulations on your finds. I’m jealous. I hope you decide to keep some of them and use them.
