Who's Left with the Table?

My mom, my sister Cindi, and I all enjoy going to antique malls, junk stores, thrift stores etc. to find things to turn from trash to treasure or to find that one perfect accessory that isn't available at your local department store.
This last week we had a typical shopping experience. At least it was for us. We are those ladies you see in the store who don't notice there are other shoppers around. We holler for each other across the store, "MOM!! COME LOOK AT THIS", or "SISTER, WHERE ARE YOU?" We make fun of items we see and wonder who in the world would want it...then turn around later to see someone carrying it around and realize OH...THAT'S who would buy that..and laugh again! Our trips are more laughs than anything, so like I said, this trip was our typical shopping experience.
We first went to Goodwill and Cindi found some great old Samsonite suitcases for next to nothing.She also found some great display items for her jewelry displays (6:21 Treasures). I found a few small items-the best being some banged up floating shelves that I plan on painting. Mom found a few items too.
The second stop was to a local LARGE thrift store that my sister and I had never been to. Mom said it wasn't worth the stop, but we decided to see for ourselves. Well, we go in and WOW!!! They had so much stuff I was overwhelmed. I had to focus on my wish list that I keep in my head (I wrote it down, but in my typical form ,I lost it) Okay. My list consisted of the following: old wooden crates, bedside table to refinish, pallets, and other things that I can't remember right now :)
Well as we were walking around mom immediately found an old Victorian claw foot side table for $35..then she found another for $80..she offered the guy $100 for both and he said "I can do that" (and she didn't even want to go!) My sister found some old crates for me and they were marked $13 each I offered $25 and he said, "I can do that." So here we go out the door with 2 tables and 3 large crates....hummm. Maybe we should have taken the truck. We pile it all in the car and it fits, but barely.
Our next stop is to the local antique mall. We go in and realize it's bigger than we remember. We spent 2 hours in there. We kept finding things and kept taking them to the front to start our 'pile'. The lady at the register asked if we were antique dealers...mom said 'no', we laughed later and said 'no, just hoarders!!" (we all love that show because it makes us feel better about ourselves). Well in this store my sister found me an old typewriter table and I found a LARGE blue glass vintage vase that was 75% off..I had to have it!! As we were checking out with all our finds, we realized...hummmmm where will we put this table and the bags??? Mom jumped in and said, "I'll hold the table in my lap!" Well, see the pictures below..that's just what she did. Luckily we were headed home at this point.
So thanks Mom, for holding the table!!
