What This Country Needs...

...is a good 5 cent cigar...hey...I just solved one of the country's problems.

This turned out to be another lousy weather weekend - a shock here in Michigan - which means it was also antique shop weekend...

...and we visited one that seemed to specialize in creepy Santa Claus dolls:

"heh heh...don't worry boys and girls..."

"...I'll be coming down your chimney tonight..."

"...while you're sleeping...heh heh..."

But we did see some interesting stuff at another shop...

first time I've seen one in person...a Blick 5 typewriter...sweet...even if you don't have $400...

Not a T but still pretty cool...

...and we did actually buy a couple of items...

a brass fireplace screen...

...and a stove top percolator...

...to complement this Cattail electric percolator we already own...now THAT'S  a pretty good breakfast right there...

It's official...I'm suffering from the winter blahs...

...and I'm going to use that as an excuse for this pitiful example of a blog entry... 

...later, mcm fans...
