Cottage & Family [Search results for treasure hunting] 

Today I would love
to be treasure hunting
but it is raining so
I will create and dream
of treasure hunting ~

This is my sister, Kim ~
we love going to Canton
when she visits
from California ~
I miss her!!

I am off to sew and
listen to the
birdies singing
in the rain ~

I just returned home from a week long of treasure hunting at antique shops and flea markets ~ it was so much fun !!! I had a whole week to just explore through some amazing shops ~ I was dying at this place because there was so much to see that I almost didn't know where to begin ~ I will be posting soon the name of it because I have to dig out the business card from my luggage ~ here are a some pictures and I will post other pictures soon ~

I just wanted to show you some more pics of my treasure hunting over the last couple of weeks ~ the flea markets and antique shops were so much fun !

I drove for about 30 minutes to get to this one town that was supposed to be fun for antique stores ~ well there was one shop open and the other ones were closed for one reason or another ~ one lady just needed to run some errands so she closed ~ this is a sign that was on another shop door ~ It felt like I had gone back in history about 50 years ~

Every time I go to Canton, or to any flea market for that matter, I have something in particular that I am really really hunting for ~ I am always looking for old china with pink roses, architectural finds, lace, old linens ~ all of those things are so much fun to look for but this time I was looking for vintage rhinestone jewelry ~ It is so hard to find lately ~ I guess I am not the only one looking for it ~

I hit a treasure chest at one of the vendors ~ he had a bag stuffed away because he didn't think anybody would want it ~ it was full of broken rhinestone jewelry ~

I was sooo excited because that is what I was looking for so I can embellish more soldered charms with it ~

Then I spotted a vintage tiara that was kind of shoved to the side and asked him about it ~ he didn't think anyone would want that either ~ I almost bought a new one because I love them but I am so glad to have found a vintage one !! That is even better ~
You will see a lot of this tiara in my pictures :o)

I am not sure what the "thing" will be next month but it is fun to dig in those hidden spot because you never know what you will find . . . .

I had an awesome Canton

day on Wednesday finding

some Farmhouse goodness!!

I was totally on the hunt
