Travis and I were both off on Saturday for our anniversary, but we didn't have any plans. After agonizing over what to do for way too long, we decided to drive down to Chattanooga and go to the aquarium. Then when we got there, we decided we DIDN'T want to go to the aquarium...
But it was a beautiful day for a drive. And we went to one of the antique malls we really like while we were there. Here are some things we saw:
Have you ever seen a play set of that tupperware? How cute is that! If we had a kid I would have totally bought that.
Maybe the cutest radio I've ever seen!
Little made in Japan eraser with google eyes.
This must have been somebody's skunk collection!
What a great pin! That is a club I would join.
I bought a few vintage photos of course, but not this one. Look at that hat in the middle! I wonder what these kids were dressed up for. It reminds me of outfits my mom dressed my brother and I in for Easter.
"assorted tiny creatures"
This sign looked pretty promising! Too bad there weren't any poodles in there I really wanted.
That red thing is an old dog carrier! I don't know what I would do with it, but I loved it. Travis was the voice of reason though. I wonder how well it would have worked when it was made. It is made of cardboard!
Before we headed back home we stopped at Sluggo's North, which is one of my favorite restaurants!
I get the same thing I always do. It is just so good I can't change it up! It is a vegan club sandwich. Yummmm. And I always get a side of their amazing pinto beans and a salad with tahini dressing.
We split a piece cake that was out of this world! Did you know oreos are vegan?
It was a pretty great day even though we didn't do that much. We also had tickets to see the national tour of the Lion King stage show. It was amazing! The costumes and puppets were so cool! Have you seen it?
Dude. Rad anniversary. Looks like a lovely day for a drive. :)
ReplyDeletethat skunk collection is certainly unique

Looks like you guys had a great time and an awesome looking lunch! One of these days I hope to go to an estate sale and see a huge collection of something -skunks, poodles, owls- and buy the whole lot. That is if it is reasonably priced! Everyone needs to have hundreds of something at one point or another, even if it is just temporary. :)
ReplyDeletehow cool would that be? i went to a sale once that had a ladies huge black cat collection. the prices were outrageous though! it would be so fun to buy an instant collection!
DeleteOne day I saw that complete kids Tupperware set in the showcase at Salvation Army, lucky thing it was an auction item, I might have been tempted!
ReplyDeletehow cool! i didn't even know it was a thing! If we have a kid I'm going to have to track down all the pieces.
DeleteI WANT TO SEE THE TINY CREATURES! What a marketing ploy, they know their curious, kitsch audience! Also: SLUGGO'S FOR LIFE. Comment card them next time that we need a branch in Nashville!
ReplyDeleteyesssssss they really need one here!
DeleteSounds like a great anniversary to me- shopping and eating are two of my favorite things!! I really like that old blue radio. I have one old radio and would like to start a collection but have a hard time finding them at a decent price.
ReplyDeletethat one was only 13 bucks! i couldn't believe it! if it had worked we would have bought it for sure. I have a few old radios through my house and use them all the time.
DeleteMy daughter had that Tupperware set when she was a kid. I believe it is in a box in our garage. We are saving our "big trip " for our 40th in a couple of years.
ReplyDelete40th! that is so amazing! i love hearing big anniversaries like that. I hope you guys go somewhere amazing!
DeleteI don't even like pancakes that much but I would definitely be a charter member of Aunt Jemima's Pancake Club for my town! Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteha! i actually thought of you when i saw it! i really did! i almost posted it on instagram and tagged you!
DeleteThat radio is beautiful! The food looks amazing as well. I am trying to go mostly veggie (not vegan yet, baby steps:) and I love the food and recipes you post!

ReplyDeleteI wish me and Jerome could take more trips like this :)
HA! I had the mini Tupperware set as a child! In fact, I just found one of the plates (poop brown and square) in a bin this past Saturday! The rest of it is in another bin somewhere at my parents'! It was great stuff! Nice find!!
