Fargo fun! :)

So, having just relocated myself and two 50 lb bags to Fargo for a couple of months, I've been applying for jobs/ exploring the downtown area where I live for the past few days, and today I stumbled across this awesome antique/ junk store! I should have taken pics of the store front, but honestly I didn't expect it to be so cool. It looked teeny-tiny from the street, but then when I went in, it went alll the way back to the end of the block! Awesome sauce :)

Mostly tea sets, records, etc, but then I discovered a ton of old clip and screw earrings which I thought were pretty rad:


And then! I wandered upon the mecca of tantalizing tarnished treasures- tacky salt 'n pepper shakers of all kinds! boxes and shelves of them! It was a hard decision, but I think, ultimately, I'll go for...







The dead bear family. Tacky, morbid, and kinda cute, all at the same time! Now all I need is a job to pay for them and roommate approval to let them into the house! ;) Good times in Fargo, I'm for sure going back to that store sometime soon, with some mad money! :)

and actually, once I found out that the bear family was made in china, I decided to go for the monkeys instead- one had a chipped tail, and the had that "please take me home" look... :) sorry bad news bears!

That's hilarious! I never knew how many different kinds of salt and pepper shakers there are.
