The store is housed in an old school building that is just filled with charm from every angle...
I completely fell in love with the burlap curtains and the burlap retaining netting that was used to close off part of this large room. The burlap netting is from a hardware store. I love the look of it and think I'll get some for my pirate backyard!
Loving the huge wooden clock--- it was listed at only $85.00....
Everywhere you looked was something fabulous to look at... branches made into shelves? NEAT!
I did find the best kettle corn I have ever had in my life... that was my first purchase of the day! Priorities people, priorities...
Amongst the antiques I spotted some pirate junque...
the usual Pez junque...
and some old junque...
some cute junque...
and then there was some treasures! I immediately fell in love with this high chair with a vintage silver tray screwed in place for the high chairs tray.... fabulous!
*gasp* the loveliness of it all! The soft pink she had painted everything was gorgeous!
I talked in length with the gal who created all this beauty and she was a sweetie as well~
Love-love-loving the vintage table cloths on this towel rack.... darling!
A huge folk art adult rocking chair...
This turning display
piece was only $6, the little pegs on the side fold down flat against
the piece so the whole thing is easier to transport. It is a neat piece
that I can hopefully turn into something fabulous to hold some jewelry
pieces for sale.
The biggest score of the day, besides the to-die-for caramel kettle corn,
was this vintage metal parts cabinet. It was only $40.00.... I was on
the fence on if I wanted to buy it or not--- until a man said he wanted
to buy it if I didn't. Well.... thats all it took.... it was mine.
It even came with some parts inside the drawers....
I
told the guy I bought it from I was going to paint it pink--- I'm glad I
can do my part to make people laugh hysterically..... all in a days
work!

Thanks again to all of you for adding such joy to my day!
Bet you had a fun day - lots of eye candy. I would have been tempted for the cabinet with shallow drawers, but no where to put it. I love a good pop corn, but can honestly say I have never had a kettle corn that I really liked. Stopped trying them years ago as they were always sweet.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Oh what a fun time you had. Must say that you've got me craving kettle corn. lol! I love the turquoise luggage and that bucket light. So glad you bought the metal cabinet. I love pieces like that and $40 was a steal. I would have grabbed that baby and ran. So glad you visited me because now I found your lovely blog. Happy to be a new follower!

That looks like so much fun. I love to go thrift shopping with my good friend Dianna. She can spot a bargain a mile away!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the dresser with the narrow drawers!.Perfect for storing stamps! lol
Thanks for stopping by my blog...how did you find me?
I am currently sightseeing up a storm in England...and having a ball!
I fear I would have been in big trouble at this show. And I might have been fighting with you and the other guy on that metal parts cabinet! I love your finds -- and that blue luggage stole my heart. It's a good thing I'd have no place to find put it -- that's about the only thing that keeps me to a budget anymore!
