Shopping trip to PA

[perc-o-prince]

So, Rich and I spent the day driving to a big shop in CT, then to Adamstown, PA, for the Presidents Day Sale that started yesterday. Most of the shops in the area have discounts of 10-50%!!

On the way we saw a number of buses from NYC to Boston, Fung Wah included. However, I wasn't hesitant to pull up to and pass this Lucky Star bus headed for NYC. It wasn't tipping over, and wasn't on fire! FUNG-WAH!!!!!

In the Stratford shop (huge!) we saw a number of nice things, and some not so nice. This was a whole lotta ugly for $44!!!

This was a great booth.....

The lamps in the back of the booth! We thought about them, but at $245 (less 10%) we passed. We have so many lamps.....

We did get a great pair of pedestles though... (marble tops not shown since their packed away and I just took this pic in our hotel room)

Here's one of the nice booths we've seen in PA so far. It's so PANK!!!

We've managed to fill an 18" cube box so far, not including the pedestals (sorry, Ron, for the botched spelling earlier). Lots of neat stuff that we can share when we unpack. But, I'm learning, too. Since we're in an efficiency, I'm posting pix of the appliances. Not detailed pix, but pix nonetheless!!!

More pix tomorrow night hopefully!

I hope you grabbed that little pink Silex Blendette on the bottom shelf in the pic above!!!

Or the "PANK" Pyrex Cinderella bowls above the Blendette.

Hey,

Sorry, guys, but we didn't grab either. This area seems to be a Mecca for Pyrex, esp bowl sets. Generally the different dealers have them priced right about a retail, but now and then you can score something, esp if the fleas are open.

Today we started out by heading South to a couple of shops we found last year when we were here. We remembered these FAB juke boxes. THe owner says they both work. Got a spare $2800 (before negotiations)???

The same dealer also had some TVs we saw last year. Well, the pix are outside because this year we did a little hard negotiating and bought our two faves; a Magnavox on its original stand and a GE bakelite. So we snapped them before loading.

Here's a display in the same shop that had the cool kitchen table set we shot last year. Mut have been a museum, though, 'cause the prices were so dear nobody would dare buy anything!

 

[perc-o-prince]

But here's something that was in the shop/barn in back. If only we had room! Right out of The Women!!!

And right around the corner from that, a Frididare!

Then it was back to Adamstown. A nice little drive with scenery now and then!

It's the only couple we saw in an open model. It was something like 40*f out!
