We found out they were serving brunch, so we both ordered their scrambles, a scrambled egg concoction with veggies and sausage. This photo doesn't do the taste justice. Yummmmm. And the scramble came with a delicious side of cheesy potatoes! We found a great outdoor table right next to this fountain in the quaint courtyard.
After finishing our brunch, we headed back to the antique mall on Main. I found the cutest little white enamelware teapot and a little holiday Betty Crocker cookbook. I decided we should really visit the other big antique mall on McKellips in Mesa while we were in the neighborhood.
When we got to the other antique mall, I noticed a large sign on the door that said 'No Photographs'. I had to laugh. This is the same mall where the clerk followed me around a few months ago scowling at me taking photos. I don't think the sign was there then, so they must have had it made especially for me. Something just irritates me about the atomosphere when a store posts a list of rules on the front door. And this one has a list. No large purses, bags must be checked at front desk, no photographs, no food or drink, etc.... So I was in a bit of a mood and not inclined to buy. (I'd actually forgotten my camera anyway, so the 'no fotos' didn't matter.)
Suddenly I happened upon a booth where the dealer was just putting out the cutest old vintage snow globes. And then I found the funky old Santa with guitar and the vintage Mexican pottery nativity in one of the glass cases.
Overall, not a bad haul at all for one Sunday. I love vintage Christmas decorations, and the little teapot was an unusual find!

Great finds! Love the nativity & snow globes.
That nativity scene is wonderful. Great find! Sounds like a lovely Sunday.
Always love your little trips. Those eggs look delish!
Too bad a store is so suspicious of ALL it's customers that it would put a sign to CHECK YOUR BAGS and LIMIT YOUR PURSE SIZE! Unless the area is a hotbed for thieves, sorry, but I would not shop there on principle! And if it was a hotbed for thieves, I wouldn't dare venture into the area. =:o
