monkeydad wanted to go thrifting to a new place. so we headed a little farther out of the hood (very little) and while he didn't find anything, I DID. ok, woohoo.

I did find a crazy faux bois wood bowl made by some california pottery co or another (I haven't been able to identify it yet) for $5. It's so odd, and I sort of love it more every minute. i *may* send the bowl to the lovely emilyn. maybe.

also a double deck of bridge cards with wonderful illustrations. sadly the non-face side isn't very interesting and they were made by hallmark., but the face side is so good who cares. we'll be playing cribbage soon, which means i'll be losing. i have NEVER won a game of cribbage against monkeydad. but i do love him so and he's just fun, so i don't care.

AND a nice little copco french oven (very much like le creuset) for $10. all in all $17.38 well spent. y'all will be proud of me though, there was a nice bean pot in perfect condition that I DID NOT BUY.

we have SO MUCH FOOD left over from the bbq yesterday it's silly. good thing there was enough *cough*.

OH and I can't wait to cook those scarlet runners from rancho gordo. MMM. probably with those weird garlic scapes i bought at the farmers market today (posing in the pic with the french oven).
