The kids have gotten addicted to the sunday swap meet treasure hunt.
This time the wife hinted at finding her a token.
We found it in the first row.
The perfect pre-valentine gift,
a black ceramic panther or jaguar.
The shiny black augmented with a gold collar and claws.
To top it off,
this actually serves as a back light.
How dramatic.
I was all ready to pull out my $10 dollar bill,
and the seller mentioned $50.
Dang it!
The kids and I thanked her and did an about face...
Now what!?

Percy Sledge - When a Man Loves a Woman
What better song for this post.
Great live version too!
******************************************
Across the way something caught our eye.
A metal holey cat.
Cool but boring compared to that slinky panther.
Pass.
Okay,
here's something in our price range.
A chrome pig clock.
Or is it a radio?
Now if it was an ipod player maybe...
Now that our focus had spread to pigs,
this fancy wooden pig needed at least one picture.
I'm continually amazed at what people will make in their spare time.
Grasping for straws now,
this ceramic cow thing was a definite no.
Our collective focus faded as the rows passed by.
These old leg-o-matic chairs had really cool striped upholstery,
and could have been a great addition to our collection.
Something about $50 didn't make them as fun as the $4 deals though.
Next thing you know we are into our normal comfort zone.
How could we say no to another 1936 ford coupe model!?
Things took another turn for the worst,
when I picked up this neat little belt sander.
It seemed like a deal,
but the belts are old and the glues all dried up.
No problem it works,
and will help out alot in the cramped garage.
Yeah that's it!
Totally defeated in the perfect gift,
we finally found a 99 cent bag of peppers.
Perfect!
