The cousins love antiques. Sheila\u2019s Mom loved antiques and sold them after she retired from her teaching career. Sheila\u2019s aunt loved antiques and had a thriving business that also included creating beautifully painted accessories for the antique furniture. Get the picture? It\u2019s the unofficial family biz, although not under one umbrella.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve acquired a few older pieces over the years as well; some were gifts, some were inherited, and some were garage sale\/antique show finds. This past weekend, the yearly Antique Fair was held in a local community, the weather was gorgeous, and it was a great day to search through the vendor piles and stalls for the perfect bookcase. We have a LOT of books that need shelving and needed a unit that had a solid wooden back to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fair had everything from old furniture and glassware to handcrafted birdhouses and quilts for sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Little did I know that we would also find lots of places in which to hide\/find bodies and\/or methods with which to dispatch them. Lol<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever watch a TV show or movie where poison or drugs were added to a drink? We found this \u2018poison\u2019 ring for $5. Soooo easy to open and dispense the deadly dose. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Need a quilt to wrap the body in?<\/span><\/p>\n

Need a place to put the body while waiting for the ‘package pickup’ company to arrive?<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as we know, there were no murders committed while we were there, but there were quite a few large barrels and chests already packed by late afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shovels anyone? \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n
