Alright, so we've all seen these antique apothecary bottles that have fossilized. They are usually from the 1800's to very early 1900's and are highly collectible. We use them as display items in our homes because of their charming appeal and character.
Well, at my latest flea market adventure, I met a man who actually hunt and dig looking for these buried treasure. He calls it an obscure hobby because he would literally knock on people's homes, show them a map from the 1800's and asks if he can dig under their property to look for buried bottles.
Hah...I can imagine how many slammed doors he gets for every one that says "sure, you can break through my concrete driveway, why not?"
Talk about a passionate hobby!
Speaking of treasures, here are a few more I found at the flea market...
I had to have this turquoise demitasse cup with grape background
Why...well it's made right here...in Californi"a"
Have you got any treasures you'd like to share? Would love to hear about it!
