Adorable details 

A beautiful way to spend the day

 Fell in

Vintage Shopping

 Hi Everyone

 Happy Monday

♥

Did you have a fun weekend

 It is always a strange Sunday when we turn our clocks back an hour

 it gets dark so early 

We headed to the  Orange County Great Park again  for some  fun vintage shopping

   This adorable white mirror

 was the first treasure found

{Love}

 its white vintage chippy charm

These license plate cut outs are a new favorite find

so many fun ways to play with them

 and at 1.25 they are a bargain

of coarse we spent a lot of time hunting for words

 since the letters are all in a pile 

{Love}

 to add a few red vintage treasures for 

Christmas

and this adorable watering can already  looks so cute sitting on the window sill 

There was a TV crew

 filming  there

 It was fun to see what they were buying 

quite a bit of negotiating took place I was taking pictures of them filming

Here they are talking about the twin bed they bought

 I was  even interviewed for the show
they asked me what I was shopping for  I said...

Vintage White Ironstone
 of coarse
{no pic's of me being interviewed I had the camera darn it} 

They said if they use my interview they will let me know when it airs

How fun is that!!!!!!!

 Grateful to have found a new

vintage white ironstone pitcher

 that has already found the perfect spot in our home

♥

So here is my question for you....

of the four treasures shown

the  vintage watering can

the  vintage white mirror

the  vintage ironstone pitcher 

or 

the license plate cut outs
What would you have bought?

 let me know

Vintage Shopping

Hi Everyone

 Happy Wednesday

♥

Shopping for vintage treasures is so much fun

{Love}

 to travel to

 Brimfield

 I did not get to go this year and I heard it

it rained quite a bit

and Round Top

one of the BEST places to hunt for treasures 

there is always so much to see

But sometimes it is fun to look for treasures 

right here at home too

I have to admit I have found some of my favorite things

 at the strangest places

 including the side of the road 

This beautiful sheet of vintage tin was a recent find

Found it for $5 dollars

♥

at a Thrift shop

I was dropping off donations and just had to go take a peek

The people  running the shop were going to throw it away

 they were upset there was so much rust

I offered to buy it 

I saw them shaking their heads as I walked out of the store

They even asked me what I was going to do with it

There were so many visions in my head

  it would make beautiful frames, even little cut out hearts

when we got home  I sat it by the entry table

 and you guessed it....

Just look how  pretty it looks

 its been there ever since
What would you do with this sheet of tin?

Rusty vintage charm

with the most fabulous flower design and

it was already white and wonderful

♥

Shopping for vintage is a treasure hunt

it is always fun to see what treasures you will find
