Lots Of Antiquing = Lots of Pictures!

** I am linking this post to Coastal Charm and Southern Hospitality **

Saturday we all headed out to Canton, TX for the First Monday Trade Days.

With his Chick-Fil-A sausage biscuit, Spiderman cup, $1 garage sale ski goggles and feisty demeanor - Ethan was ready for a day of shopping!

But let's cut to the chase!

Here's what I came home with...

Keep watch, this door ($30) from some Arkansas Army

barracks will soon be magically transformed into a headboard!

Can't wait for you all to see what I've got planned for it!

Jadite salt and pepper shakers for $15.00.

Pretty sure they're reproductions

(just look at how new those tops are)

but I'm STILL excited about them.

They add to my collection perfectly.

David hates these but I thought they were just too cute!!

At $4.00 for pair, I just couldn't pass up these Tiffany blue, hand embroidered beauties!!

I got this here tray for $3 from a Shade Tree Vintage on Etsy.
It came in this week, which is why I'm posting it with my Canton/garage sale finds.

I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THESE!!!


They are about three feet long and covered in rust (hello, RustOleum!) and are going to look great hanging on my walls. I have 6 of them, total: 3 thick one and 3 thin ones. How much did I spend on them? $20.00! That's roughly $3.33 each!!



This is another item that I got off of Etsy that was delivered this week.
If you've never seen Katie Daisy's work please run by The Wheatfield and check her out - she is super talented!


Last but not least...

I got this mirror for $10.00 at a garage sale!

It's solid wood and is adorned with an oh-so-classy Chucky sticker.

I can't wait to sand it down and paint it!

Now that you've seen everything I bought, here are some pictures of took of First Monday in Canton...

Vintage chenille bed spreads for $40 each - all in good condition.

This vendor is in the corner of the "antiques building". This is where I got my $4 pillowcases and (in January) scored my $7 quilt.

The woman who runs it has MILLIONS (I mean literally millions) of linens, quilts and aprons all at DIRT CHEAP prices!!!

$5 bubble gun fun.

There's nothing nautical in my home whatsoever but I was SO TEMPTED by this anchor. If it weren't for the $65 price tag, it would have come home with me.

...only in Texas...

Loved these two old guys.

The one in the front had rigged up a trailer with a seat from a bass boat so that he can drag his friend around motorized scooter.

~brilliant!~

I hope I have a rig like this when I get old -

then I can drag my friends around flea markets with me.

I can't imagine why I didn't buy this stool...

Kicking myself now!
