Kalama....My Kind Of Town

Every time I have driven up to see my daughter, Evie, in Silverdale, I  have passed this little town called Kalama. What caught my eye were the signs touting antiques. That is a show stopper for me and this time, I couldn't pass it by and I was driving so I had control.  I did call Muff and tell her of my intent.  She laughed and told me she had given up hope of seeing me until nightfall.

This is what I walked into.  This place had a boat load of buttons and I did get a few but I haven't digested Laura's button yet.  I was really on the prowl for postcards from Nebraska that I could use in the journal I am creating for my friend,Richard. I sat down over a box of cards which were marked "old".  Not helpful.  However at 1.00 a piece I did find a few.

 

 

 

 

Here's how I found the buttons.  How can you resist that?

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't this a gorgeous kimono hanging like a flag in the breeze?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all reproductions, of course, but ah, the colors.  What wonderful colors!  Do you love fiesta ware?  The real stuff can bring quite a price.

 

 

 

I need to figure out something to do with marbles.  But do I really need another collectable? 

 

 

 

Then there was this dress.  Who would wear it?  Of course, if I bought it, I would have a lifetime supply of sequins and beads, but by the third project I would have been sick to death of the color.  I had lunch at The Antique Deli.  They had fantastic homemade bread and soups.  Don't miss it.  You never know when It may be time to run away you know.

It looks like a neat shop! I liked the fiesta ware and noticed the See's Candies delivery motorcycle in the case! The kimono was nice. I think it was a good idea to pass on the sequined dress and to not try to start a collection of marbles! I would think they would be hard to place in your journals or dolls! I'm glad you took the detour and had yourself a nice afternoon. :)
