Bear with me

A moment in the sun, Walterboro, S.C.
Walterboro gets a lot of bad press because of it's high crime rate. It's too bad since it isn't far from Charleston and I have to tell you they have some great antique stores. Check out the bear! I've been wanting a chain saw carved bear for my back yard and while this fella came from an amusement park at least he was light enough to be moved. Luckily he cost too much for me to see if he would fit in the back seat with his head sticking out the window.

I bought the cool frame below for the frame ($19) thinking I could enlarge a print to go in it. I hung her up and I find myself getting attached to her. The sketch was drawn when I was three years old so she would be my age now. Maybe it's me! I brought home the platter as well and can see a small turkey on it for Thanksgiving.Now, I wonder if I can find a used bulletproof vest so I can go back to Walterboro? I hope they solve some of this crime soon so y'all can check out the deals.

    Your visit to the stores makes me think that I should go looking for some antique treasures soon. The platter is very attractive and just cries out for a nice browned turkey to grace it's plate.

    Lovely finds! I also have a framed piece on my wall that I intended to do something else with - it's a photo portrait of two sisters and a brother from the 1800s... they are so haunting and nice to look at, I hung them up in my hall years ago and there they remain! Love that platter, too...

      Wouldn't it be funny to think that pictures we take of our families might be on someone's wall many years to come?

    Ach...grammar police! Sometimes I type without thinking or proofreading: it should read "to grace its plate." I can't help it; I'm an English teacher!!

      William, that is what I've been thinking. I have just the right spot for it.

    Love that platter. And the portrait is quite charming. I would say a successful shopping trip.
