Recent Antique Finds.

Oh, the joy of finding a hidden treasure! I love antique shopping. Back in the day, my best friend Callie and I had a real nice summer job paying $7.50 an hour. We worked 40 hour weeks and on pay day we would go to the bank, cash our checks, and hit up Midlands Antique Mall. At 16 years old, we were loving life. {and of course, antiques}. Antique mall, flea market, yard sale, consignment shop, ebay... you name it ~ I love them all! Anyways, these are a few of my recent finds.

The first two finds are from Midlands, now Little Mountain Antique Mall:

{ green box possibilities: spice rack, mail holder, picture frame display }

{ old blue frame: a nice change of pace from the rectangular form }

This one is my favorite and is from the coolest looking antique shop I've been to yet... somewhere in between Bostic and Shelby, NC. I had to make Michael stop (and take pictures).

{ 8x10 gold wooden frame: i love the details & the $25 price tag }

{ just look at this place! }


{ & i want this chair but there wasn't room in the car.. }

I also got some real cool cast iron trivets that I gave Megan at her kitchen shower. You can find a lot! If only I could cash my pay check and run to the nearest antique seller, like when I was 16. Oh, the glory days!

Go find something old and make it new!
