Successful Saturday

Today was a day of many clay pots.
We bought this shopping bag-full at one of our first stops for $2.

That's twenty pots and eight saucers for $2. Every place we stopped afterward had more clay pots for sale.


We were actually out searching for specific items this morning. It is Emily's last day in Newport Beach. She is heading off to Tucson in her little Penske truck tomorrow morning. Her new place was still in need of a couch and a floor lamp. Here's what we found:


The couch has a down cushion and a cover that zips off. It had a small stain which washed out completely with a little Oxi Clean. They were asking $100 for the couch, but we got it for $60. The lamp was $7.
And as you can see, very cozy for reading.


Once we found our assigned items we were free to browse. I couldn't resist this little antique lap quilt for $10. These three herb-designed plates were 15 cents each. I have sort of an eclectic set of yard sale dinner plates in shades of green. These will fit in nicely.


It was a very successful morning!
But a little sad for me. I will miss
having Emily along on my Saturday morning jaunts.
