There are some wonderful flea markets on Main Street in Gentry, Arkansas. Not long ago, my Beautiful Sister and I visited them on a blustery, rainy day. And my shoe was broken. I was wearing a pair of beaded sandals for the first time. They were darling. But then a strap snapped on one of them. Gasp! (Yes, this is important to the story.) So, I should have been having a ball, shopping and chatting with my sister, but I was Just A Girl with a Broken Shoe. (Dramatic music.) Have you ever felt that way? Just A Girl with a Broken Shoe. (Dramatic music.)
While we were shopping, I saw an amber colored pig platter that I liked and a crackled green tea pot that I liked. Both were reasonably priced and well within my budget. But I was Just A Girl with a Broken Shoe, so neither were purchased.
Well, I saw my Beautiful Sister this week and she had a couple of gifts for me.
You guessed it – an amber colored pig platter and a crackled green tea pot. Both were given a place of honor in my kitchen.
I love how chubby the pig looks. He is a perfect serving platter here in Razorback Country. Won’t he look cute on a table with my red stuff?
Can you see the wonderful crackle pattern and gorgeous color? I love this tea pot and I love my sister!
So thank you to my Beautiful Sister for helping out A Girl with a Broken Shoe. (Happy ending music.)
Thank you for sharing my joy!
