It's getting closer. Hubby and I will soon be taking a trip to Myrtle Beach. We haven't been in three years. I can't handle the heat like I used to so we prefer to go in September when it is less crowded and not as humid, but still hot enough to enjoy sitting on the beach to read, which is how I spend most of my days.
Later in the afternoon, we take a break and do some exploring the various little shops around town. Hubby made my day yesterday when he said he thought we should check out some antique stores, flea markets and thrift stores this year. We haven't been to the beach since I started collecting vintage items. I am thrilled. There is a lady on Craigs List from Myrtle Beach that has this Pyrex set for sell. It's $45 for the whole set, but that just makes it $15 each. This is one of the patterns I recently added to my collection. I'm debating on calling her to see if she would take less and I could pick it up when I go down.
Another piece I found on Craigs List from South Carolina is this beauty. I am currently obsessed with getting more of this pattern. She is only asking $10 and I need to find out how close she is to towns I will be traveling through. If I can avoid shipping charges, I would love to get this on my trip.
I did some searching and saw some neat items in the antique and thrift stores at the beach. Doubtful they will still be there when I go on my trip, but would love to be able to check them out. I'm looking for one of these Campbell soup mugs for my soup. I will go to this store and check it out.
One shop there is called Homespun Antique and Craft Mall. I love those type of stores. They have these cute little kittens on their website, but I sure wouldn't pay $20 each for them.
I will definitely visit the booth in their store that sells fabric. Oh my, oh my. I saw some very cute fabric patterns on their Facebook page.
I can't remember which antique store site I saw this picture on, but check out the milk glass. I am still looking for a white hobnail flower pot. Maybe I can find it here.
No trip to the beach is complete unless I get to go to Toby's World Gifts in Little River. We go there on every trip and back at the very end in a separate little room there are wall to wall shelves filled with tea cups, tea sets and my favorite...tea for one sets. They are reasonably priced and hubby treats me to a new one every single time we go. I love collecting them and can't wait to get a new set this time as well.
I'm getting very excited to go.
