A new find and a few scores...

I hope you all had a great weekend. We were both super busy but I did manage to sneak away and score a few finds...
The cutest score of the week was...
Addie's Halloween costume!
Never underestimate the power of Goodwill... Yup, Addie is now going to be an astronaut. This was a ten buck score! I know, I know you probably expect me to make their costumes and sometimes I do... there was the time Molly wanted to be a storm cloud so (for obvious reasons) I had to make that one. But when you find something like this?!?!... store bought it is!
I also managed to scout out our local auction and put a bid on this...
Don't you love? Could be for sale! Of course I have to find out if I won it or not-  I always put in absentee bids. I'm a little to competitive and unpredictable in the moment.

Another 'find' that found us was from one of our followers. We were contacted by one of our readers, Michelle,  about her obsession with hunting for cool things. (she's a picker). I checked out some of her pics and found some camels I wanted...
I asked if she had anything else I could look at and she said she had a few things and to come on over.I peeled out of the driveway on two wheels drove over and she wasn't kidding... She had basically turned her living room into a 'shop'. (how many of these little 'shops' are out there- I must know!)
 I'm loving this nightstand (shocker) and the little mid century owl collection behind it.

 There were pretty collections everywhere... I am loving all this blue and white.

 I think someone needs this mirror... maybe it's me- would look great in my powder room!

Spider lamp... Asian art... bar ware... oh my! I was so happy that I got to meet Michelle and dig through all her finds. I walked out with a box full of goodies! Michelle has a great eye and I think we just found a new place to shop for clients! Contact us if you want to know more about this living room storefront!

Thank you Michelle for reading and letting me 'pick' at your place!...-A

Happy Monday,

Liberty and stuff for all...

Hooper and I got a little insider tip about an antiques fair last week in Liberty, N.C. With a glass half full attitude we rented a trailer with full intentions of scoring lots of loot! We are really excited about our newest undertaking (more on that later) ... excited enough to leave town at 6 a.m. for the 3 hour trip...
We arrived at 9 and started speaking.The fair had a little bit of everything but these beautifully packaged soaps caught our eye right away...looked and smelled divine!
We were there for about 10 minutes before scoring 3 of these vintage sconces. Our pile evolved from there...

I spy with my little eye the coolest chrome chair EVER... This bad boy went in the trailer and is getting a makeover as we speak!
No bottles came home with us however we were loving the purple!
While we did get lots of bar ware this silhouette set was out of our price range and probably some of the coolest bar ware we've seen...
We loved all the architectural salvage pieces...
I was diggin these iron chief bookends... enough to go back and get them but in the sea of  tents I couldn't remember where they were. But not to worry...we got lots of cool stuff anyway!
We loved searching for treasures and can't wait to offer you our finds! (that's all you are getting for now...) After loading up and learning how to back up a trailer (oh dear)... we headed back sooo excited with our scores!
Stay tuned... lots of good stuff to come...

Happy Wednesday!
Bye, bye birdie,
