Spouse and I have trudged through the malls you described; they are "the 
going thing" all over the country apparently!  We have a copy of a 
"newspaper" that lists malls and shops all across Texas. We went "malling" 
again today in a nearby town that is fast becoming known for "antiqueing", as 
is our town of Weatherford.  As we were fast approaching the edge of complete 
exhaustion, we found about four booths or stalls that had various pieces of 
Wedgewood scattered about. We found three pieces we had been searching for 
over at reasonable prices (we bought them) and several at not so reasonable 
prices (we did NOT buy them).  We did see two semi-unique pieces we are still 
considering but I may have to sell one of my pieces to get the funds! Ah, the 
trials of being a collector!   We did see four sets of Wedgwood thimbles, 
each containing six (?) different thimbles with each thimble displaying the 
bust of a different king or queen.  They would be perfect for the right 
collector at $47.50 per set; we are just not thimble collectors, Wedgwood or 
not.
We are still searching for some recommendations for good books on collecting 
Wedgwood, so, keep us in mind as you "mall" your area.
