Boy and Girl Sculptured Heads for Cindy's My Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday!

It is fascinating to look through mail order catalogues and see so many thousands of items from all over the world.

Sculptures have always appealed to me. However, the downside of catalogue shopping is the prices are not always affordable. Such was the case with sculptured busts of children.  Every time I went through a certain catalogue, those childrens' heads struck my fancy.  Their prices, however, did not because the sculptures were purely "want" and not "need" items.

I decided to leave them in the catalogue and just enjoy looking at them that way.  Then, one day,  a notice about a church flea market appeared in the paper. It's a sale that's held annually and is always pretty good so off I went.

There was table after table of merchandise and I carefully scanned every inch. Then I saw them----"alabaster" busts of two very pretty young people, probably from the Victorian age. Detailed features made up their sweet faces.

Picking each one up,  I admired how nicely they were done and then looked at the prices on the bottoms. Each one cost 50 cents.  Sold!

WHAT WAS THE LAST SUPER BARGAIN YOU FOUND BY CHANCE?
