The goods...

It seems funny when I show you my found treasures

after a day of junkin'.

Because I always buy the same ol' stuff!!!

I can't help myself though...

these are the things I'm drawn to.

The treasures are usually small, a great price and

very neutral in tone, right???

My friend Debby and I spent the entire day

in Griffin, GA and visited a bunch of antique stores.

I didn't even feature them all on my last post...

I found a few wonderful things at each and every one!

Here's a peek at my recent finds ~

Buttons? Always.

My very first daguerreotype! I've always loved them but they were always

way too expensive...this one was very reasonable so she came home with me.

One beautiful, little baby slip...a few baskets...

A bag of buckles...why? I don't know, I just loved them!

A couple of old sheet music books...ceramic hands that I filled with

some old buttons and one mother of pearl buckle that were found too.

A wonderful old hat, gorgeous lace with just the right of age on it,

and can you see the small galvanized bucket under it all?

An empty scrapbook with a gorgeous cover....

A beautiful quilt scrap...wouldn't it make a wonderful needle book or two?

I loved this string holder with scissors too!

These spice jars are from the thrift...I hand washed each and every one ~

Now to decide what to do with them :)

This beautiful pillow with a brand spankin' new feather insert
was discovered at the thrift too.

After taking the slip cover off, laundering it and pressing it...
it looks gorgeous!

I also found some beautiful fabric at a few antique stores...

just 2 yd remnants but I've been wanting to make Clara

a few little summer blouses ~

We'll see if that happens :)

Lastly, I wanted to share a little pincushion that I made for a friend ~

housed in a tart tin and dolled up a bit.

I so hope she loves it!!!!

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday precious friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

Let's go junkin', shall we???

First, my sweet friends...I just have to tell you something.

As I went to create this post I noticed that I have posted

2100 POSTS!!!!!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!!

I guess this one is 2101...

pretty neat, huh?

My land, I've been blogging a long time.

Anyway. I found some precious photographs and images Friday when I went junkin'

that I purchased just to share with you!

I've scanned them in....just click a few times to make sure

they are as large as possible and save them to your computer :)

My sweet friend Debby and I went to Griffin, GA and had a fun day exploring the town!

Our first stop was Gigi's Antique Griffin...

I took a few photos to share with you ~

I've had space in this antique mall before and have

always loved it!!!

I found some sweet little goodies at Antique Griffin...I always, always do!

Our next stop was a brand, spankin' new shop The Chicken House!

They are located at 324 E. Broad St., Suite 211 in Griffin....

They are a coffee shop...gift goodness shop...

treasure shop...tea shop...and so much more.

The owners have totally transformed this old warehouse space into

an absolute dream ~ you've got to pay them a visit!!!

I wish them so much success ~

And in the very same building was another so, so new shop,

47th Ave. Antique Boutique

I so love their taste,

their displays and just the general atmosphere.

Well, just take a look at the pics below:

See the wonderful old paper cutter thingee below...

I drooled over that piece big time!!

The paint patina...and I've always wanted one in the studio ~

Oh well, maybe next time :)

We visited about three or four more shops that I just loved and

had the most fun together!!!

Tomorrow, I'll be sure to share my sweet finds with you ~

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and wish you a great week ahead!!!

Happy Monday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
