Panning for Gold

This weekend Tom & I are going out to the Brimfield Antique Show

I'm not exactly going to be looking for anything particular, but there are a few types of things I'll be keeping my eyes open for:

- Household tools that are in good enough shape to still be useful, and are useful to me. Preferably ones that can still be used for their original purpose. Last year I got a great 5 quart casserole dish that I use semi-regularly.
- Pretty (food safe) bottles. I can put cordials, flavored vinegars, or bath oils into larger ones, and perfume oils into smaller ones.
- Scent lockets, or any pendant that can be adapted for the purpose.
- Tools for embroidery, knitting, or any of my other crafts. Again, I'm only really interested in ones that I could actually use.
- Ephemera that is in bad enough shape that I won't feel guilty about destroying it for collages or decoupage.
- Interesting coats or jackets. Again, only ones that could actually be worn in real life.
