I recently took a junkin' road trip with my friend Karen who is also a vendor at the shop.
In between all the laughs, I managed to take some photos of some wonderful shops.
Our first stop was Counting Sheep Antiques.
Sorry I didn't take an outside photo...I was just so mesmerized by the charm of this old barn and it continued as I walked through the door...
This beautiful old sign caught my eye...I would love to put it in my den over our computer!
This booth had lots of industrial treasures...
I loved all the warm, worn wood tones in this space...
I also loved this french inspired booth and the sweet blue table...
My friend Gayle also has a beautiful space here. I took the oval frame home with me...
Our next stop was The Vintage Retriever, look how cute their store front is...
This shop has a perfect blend of wholesale items mixed in with vintage treasures...
I know...you love the old map too! I didn't take that home but I did take home one of the old auction paddles, #22 for the day Jim and I got married!
I really wanted to take this old demi john home...it was the perfect shade of imperfect grey...
I also loved the sign behind the checkout counter, done by the owner...
The attention to detail was amazing here and I love how she painted the old floors...
Our last stop was Crompton Collective. The have a cool space full of vintage clothing. I loved their sign...
Oh, and another piece I just loved that would be a perfect desk in my studio...
I sure hope Jim reads this post...soon.
They had lots of old industrial pieces that I seem to gravitate toward lately...
Have you taken any junkin' road trips lately?
Thank you Karen for a fun day and thank you for stopping by!

All great looking places, Sandi. I see a few things I would have loved to get myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along. I saw several things that would put a hole in my pocketbook, beginning with "your" desk and ending with the wine sign!
