It was just another of those slow start days with not much else on the plate… in fact we didn’t get out till near noon and that was to go out and eat…After the carving shop we went to an old place in Colorado City – Mason Jar… serves “comfort food”.
After that meal we drove up into Manitou and stopped at the Chainsaw carving shop… I got a bear for Christmas from here…
It is a bit bigger and heavier than the picture looks like… Mom says it will stay in the house… geez… along with the other animals…
Here are some of the other carved stuff… pretty neat place…
I had to sneak this picture in but the carved motorcycles on the top were cute??? and the signs… ha!
Of course we bought a couple more signs for the bear to hold… like “Cowboy UP”… and “Go Pokes”… so we can swap them out as necessary…. After that we made it back to check out the “indoor flea market and antique mall”… boy was it full of stuff… and of course they had to buy some of that stuff…
It is a series of small booths that has everything from antiques like these to
Paintings like these.
I thought this was neat…
The work bench has a tag that says it was from the 1800’s… along with several old clamps and other stuff on it..
A cabinet full of “OLD” cameras that my friend Carl would be wanting to touch…
Rawhide and horn chairs… there was a pair of them….
The one of a kind dragon chair that said it came from one of the Extreme Make-over shows? sold marked on it and for $4000… ouch…
And this old school desk that caught my eye… I had one just like it that I think Mom got form the old Barr School house when they removed all the old stuff… I had it in my bedroom as a kid and Mom wanted us to use I to study but I used it to work on my model cars… I did a lot of old model car kits way back and this held my collection of parts and stuff as well as other kid junk , not school related… ha!…
That was about it for the day… the ski bums came in late afternoon and we will all head off home or the kids here will have to go to work, in the morning… long drive tomorrow… it has been nice to get everyone together if only for a little while…
