my mom and i have talked forever about going to the antique stores together. we finally had the chance to go on tuesday afternoon.
it was huge--
as in, we only got through half of it.
we saw sooo much.
it's like going through a museum, the flea market and the best garage/estate sale ever
all at once.
here are some of the things we saw:
1. i used to play the flute & i dig old instruments.
2. coffee grinders
3.buttons, buttons and lots more buttons!
4. owl bank
5. a vanity/bench set i loved.
6. beautiful old tables
7. high chair/rocker/stroller in one. beautiful and expensive!
8. 1920s phone
9. old tins (my mom collects them)
10. old violin
11. i married an arab
it was random and made me laugh...
but yeah...i married a german.
12. loverly yellow pitcher
13. button flowers
14. skee ball, retro style
15. vintage ornaments. loved them..but didn't want to pay $3/ea.
16. leather bound book of...well, snap shots!
17. this squirrel's crazy eyes made me giggle.
18. my mom had these dolls when she was little.
she literally gasped when she saw them.
it was neat to relive that with her.
19. i love these old cat clocks, and i've never seen it in yellow--
i'm just not into the rhinestones!
20. bitty little piano
after seeing this old laundry "machine", i may never complain about doing laundry again.
(yes i will).
and finally, after all of that, all i walked away with was this set of keys:
they go with my other little skeleton keys from the flea market (bottom corner)!
i looove skeleton keys...
now to figure out what to do with them!

I want everything except the washing machine thing. That thing should be used for firewood!
I really want that owl bank!! Great stuff!! Where is this place located?
The cat clock (#19) really reminded me of you
Looks like a fun afternoon. Can't wait to see what you do with the keys.
I've been looking for one of the cat clocks, only in black. Love those!
That last comment was from me.
OH MY LOVE the yellow pitcher... and everything else...!!
