I am in the Antique business...I sell lots of things, but mostly glassware and jewelry (depression, carnival, 40s,50s,60s,)..pottery (Hull, Weller, McCoy, Roseville, etc). I love any kind of vintage jewelry, but my favorite is Eisenberg. I loved the birdie pics. I have been trying to take pictures of some red headed woodpeckers..but couldn't get close enough with my camera.

I'm just not that determined to find useful junk, I guess. :)<br /><br />LOVE the baby cardinal pictures. Our cardinals are just bringing their second brood to the feeders now. And the older ones from the first brood are joining them. I just love that this extended family is all helping to take care of the newest family members.

But if you are looking for old glass bottles and old stuff you would be in heaven. I like the newer stuff myself. I do like yard sales but I haven't had much luck at these sales. You can find lots of everything at them. We went 111 and didn't get in that mess this year. My inlaws still go every year.

It is just too funny watching Papa Redwing getting his babies all lined up and them feeding them and teaching them whatever Papas teach their babes. I don't know why I didn't take pictures. I guess it was interesting to watch I just forgot. There is always next year.
