Things have slowly started opening up here in Illinois. Carriage House Antiques has been opened since the end of May and it's been great to get back into it! Garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores are happening now also.
I added to my growing flower frog collection. I just can't pass them up! I did though sell a few from my collection to make room.
I found some vintage Christmas! Boy did my heart beat fast when I found these.
These I'm keeping! This punch bowl and mugs are darling and I just can't imagine parting with them.
This bull is another find that made my heart beat quickly! He's now a part of my barn/cow display in my living room....
Just the other day I found 2 pieces of ironstone at an estate sale. I have no attachment to the platter, but wow! this bowl is too fabulous to let go of.
I have to be careful because I'm starting to keep more things than I'm willing to get rid of. I go through that cycle for a while and then all of a sudden it all goes to the Carriage House. I'm just going to enjoy these new finds for awhile.
Not too long ago I visited a friends house and she inspired me with her beautiful vignettes throughout her house. That weekend I was inspired with some garage finds and I redid my mantle.
Only 2 items were recent finds. (the white door and white shelf). All the rest were from my collections. It's amazing what you can find when you look around your house!
Keep being inspired and keep looking for sales. They are out there!
Happy treasure hunting!
