Cathy (Michael's sister) is getting married! Drove to Alameda to help with her last day of moving and came home with a bunch of stuff to sell, some to keep. As if we didn't have our truck loaded down enough, we just had to stop off at Urban Ore in Berkeley, one of our absolutely favorite spots to grab recycled things to put to good use. Did we find more? Of course! Some old knobs and knick knacks to use on our mirrored project currently in progress. Then, driving down San Pablo, what do I spy but an antique store with a gigantic SALE sign in front. SCREECH! Find a parking spot double quick! Found some nice little treasures; more vintage cards for poker pendants, a vintage silver cup made in Spain, and a cute little vintage glass bowl with tin lid. The owner was very nice, came out to the truck and purchased some of Cathy's things we were loaded down with which was very nice to get some of it out of the way. Hope to stop off at his shop next time we're in Berkeley.
Here's a picture of our truck when we got home:
Tomorrow: Off to Petaluma and beyond for more hunting of treasures...
