Antiques & Friends

I spent the day shopping the Second Sunday Antique Faire yesterday
Sandy from The Olive and Rose and her friend Katy were looking for some new treasures for their stores
and I was tagging along for some fun.


It was freezing cold in the morning while we were there
 so we bundled up, shopped a little
and laughed A LOT!

We started the day off with Sandy and I laughing telling Katy about how we are crazy
 and run around in circles when we shop.
Of course, I looked back at Sandy as we were walking across the street and talking
and I ran (yep, literally ) into Katy's cart after she stopped just ahead of me
and the cups of coffee in her cart went flying... oh my...
Katy's boots were covered in coffee (apologies Katy!!!)
 It just wouldn't be a regular shopping day with Sandy if there wasn't something crazy going on!
;)
Well, here are some of the treasures we found that inspired a few photos...


 These corbels were absolutely beautiful and HUGE!
The chippy finish on them was fantastic! We loved them!

Then we found this booth and these gorgeous old barn doors that were ...
priceless.


yep.
 Priceless. 


He had a couple pieces marked priceless~
 loved it.
 :)


 These statues were tiny and so charming. 
These were in Atelier de Campagne booth... 
oh such a gorgeous booth!!


Business cards and a unique holder


and we also loved this little bottle collection


Another favorite booth was The Vintage Bricoleur... 


This is such a gorgeous piece~ I loved it. 

 

 We found bits and baubles... old dog head hardware and knobs




 Darling shabby treasures 
 and 
chippy rusty little inspirations~ 
we loved the color on this little cubby and suitcase

I also met the lovely Gloria from Happy to Be while there~what a sweetie she is!
She was one of my very first blog friends and she has a special place over here
 I didn't get a picture but am hoping that Gloria will share the ones she took!
 hint hint ;)

We had tons of fun shopping and laughing and gathering up inspirations.
Can't wait for the next antiquing trip!
