Soooooo, on the way to the beach this past weekend, we stopped in to shop at a bunch of antique shops. It took a little bribery (lots of candy for the little one and some sparkly vintage rhinestone earrings for the older one), but the girls were pretty good sports about it. Usually, I only find one or two things worth buying. I guess I'm just getting picky in my "old" age, but unless something is really great and a very good price, I typically pass it up. But, this week I did extraordinarily well! Almost every antique mall was having a big Memorial weekend sale, so the prices were really fantastic and I found some truly fabulous finds. I think you'll agree...
And, finally, I found this gorgeous vintage tole tray. It's a real beauty - all my favorite colors! Not exactly a bargain, but worth every penny!
wow! you really did find alot of great things! i love the hats, ribbons and boxes! lucky!

I'm always looking for new places to go when I am in that part of the country. I'd love the address of the shops you found these beauties at!
See you soon! I look forward to meeting you at our June get together.

What a lucky day you had. Everything you found is beautiful. Your photos are amazing too. Would love to know what kind of camera you have. No matter how hard I try, I can never get my camera to take the quality of pictures that I would like it to.

I absolutely covet this Italian Tole hook! I've not seen your blog before, and am instantly addicted. Also will start searching Austin tomorrow for a "Forever 21" store - that jewelry is fabulous.
