Stopping for a walkabout!

Long car drive days mean stopping every couple of hours to stretch my legs and work put the kinks in my back.

Isn't it fortuitous that I just stumbled upon this antique mall near Charleston, WV and that there is also a Chinese restaurant around the corner for lunch?!  

It's just road trip karma watching over me!

I found another little universal travel iron in its original box for $10 and a fire king bowl to replace the one I broke for $12!

After a bite to eat I'm back on the road again--you all know the song!!

    These stops are for medicinal reasons in case anyone asks. Lol. Really, two irons in one trip? What are the odds? That's a great looking shop.

    What's the skinny on that iron? It must be pretty great since you're buying a second...
    I want that red white and blue improved 9 patch! Ooooo! : )

  14. If I had known you were going thru Charleston I'd have taken you to lunch! The last time I visited the Antique Mall I found a wonderful older Singer that I left there. Hope you are home safely. Debbie in WV

    Would it be possible for you to list the antique shops in their own link? Please, I know it is possible but I do not want to ask anything to hard of you since you give so much to us as it is. Just a thought. Do not know if others would appreciate it as well.
