My Ravioli Adventure - Day 6

I woke up feeling pretty optimistic and excited about venturing to the Frederick antique stores in search of rolling pins - in particular the antique ravioli rolling pin I really want. There are LOTS of antique stores in Frederick and it is a really quaint town with lots of restaurants as well. Unfortunately, I left after a very full day of looking in every nook and cranny in every store we walked past and didn't find a single rolling pin! It was a little surprising that there weren't any to be found. I did find an amazing copper pot with lid that has beautiful rope trim handles. Of course, it didn't look very pretty when I first brought it home. I quickly went to work on it with lemon juice and kosher salt and the beautiful copper gleam returned and even the handles turned a really nice color. I will probably need to get some copper cleaner to get some of the dark spots out. It was a great deal too! I came home a little deflated from not finding the one thing I was searching for but had a wonderful day. I decided to find more antique stores in the area and came upon one that I had passed many times over the years and had never stopped in. I decided to call and see if they were still in business and a really nice gentleman answered the phone. I asked him if they had any rolling pins and he returned to say that he had a basket full of them. I also found some other stores I want to explore and my husband is joining me. And, no...I did not make him give up golf with his buddies to go antiquing with me!
