I found a cool old sconce...
... a great old walpaper covered trunk (for only $20!) - look at the inside!!
... and this super cute old metal cart (a find for only $30!)!!!
Then, during the show, we all take turns browsing!! From Joy I bought this amazing candelabra (fresh from her own home!)
... this sweet little box came from Maryann's booth, as well as the sweet pink satin pillow and the old book...
From Randy I purchased this darling old embroidered pillow case and some gorgeous vintage fabric...
... and from Susan some adorable crochet trim and vintage wallpaper.
Other great treasures I found include a wonderful old baby quilt ($15!)...
... various linens...
... and the most adorable little pink sewing machine!!! The best part? Look at the price!!!
This old rose covered frame had my name written all over it....
.... and my "favoritest" find of them all? This incredible vintage doorstop!!! I have to be honest, because it is in such good shape I wasn't sure if it was original or a reproduction, so we asked three different dealers and they all confirmed it was old... I paid $70 for it (it's a pretty big size!), which I think is a good price... How can you tell an original from a reproduction? I have a small collection of doorstops that I am adding to slowly due to their high price!!! They are so charming, aren't they?
This is my 98th post!!! I am planning a special giveaway for my 100th, so check back soon!!

Beautiful finds. My favorites are the doorstop, flower basket pillow and that rose frame! If you ever decide to sell that frame, let me know! Wishful thinking, huh?
ReplyDelete:) nancy
Wow! Great stuff! I wish I could have been there to snag that awesome frame, lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Isabel, you have the gift to make me smile. You are like a kid at these shows, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteI can picture you floating around in a sea of antiques, not knowing if selling or buying. For sure, coming home always with extra treasures and dreams taking shape in your mind.
Awww...and I got a bang in my heart when I saw that lovely crochet...it reminded me of the ones my grandmother used to make. Too bad I never had the patience to crochet like she did. But I love the feel of it in my hands.
All of my grandmother's and great grandmother's crochet was put into bed sheets I will treasure forever.
I love coming here to visit and partake of your excitement.
