Quick Trip Through Baldwin County

The trip started out as a quick trip to a new vegetable stand but the day was mild and the perfect day to put down the top on the BMW. We don't get many of those since this far south we get three months of winter, a week of fall, a week of spring and all the rest is summer. It quickly gets too hot for daytime rides with the top down. And some of you know how painful that sunburn to the part of your hair or the tops of your ears hurts!

With the top down and my freshly fixed hair now crammed into a ball cap, we began a ride in the country. Of course, when we ride, we can't resist stopping at an interesting place or two. There are many over-priced antique stores in Baldwin County but we did find a couple of bargains.
Ballerina Ware, berry bowl in burgundy, only 50 cents
We stopped in thrift store but I was astounded at the antique store prices! They had a cute little cat teapot and creamer. It was $60 for the teapot and $35 for the creamer! I thought that a little high for a thrift store! Needless to say, the teapot and creamer stayed behind.

On to the next stop! Buster is always looking for plant stands. He scooped this one up for $5.

The day wasn't much for finds but it was wonderful for a ride, On the Backroads with Buster.
