road trip...

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!

Don't forget to follow along with me on Facebook and Instagram!

road trip find...

Popping in this morning to share one of my New Hampshire road trip finds...


Once I saw this vintage framed chalkboard I knew I had to have it.
I am trying to put together a different backdrop at the top of my stairs to greet friends and family over the holidays this year.
I added an old architectural piece over it...



I'll be decking the halls this weekend but for now I am going to go back to enjoying my son's company this morning...

See Jake in the mirror?

So happy that my family is all home!

I am joining Becky at Timewashed for Blissful Whites Wednesday.
Thank you for stopping by.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving...enjoy!

road trip treasures...

Good Morning!
Sit back, relax and take a break from holiday prepping and peek at my road trip treasures...



I have been drawn to vintage portraits lately.  I could not pass by this little one ~ love the bow in her hair and just look at her eyes...



I am saving all these treasures for our Vintage Holiday Open House...




This vintage Bingo game is wonderful...



Chippy green shutter that was cut in half and chippy old farmhouse stool...


Love the color of these boots...



I thought this little carrier was so cute.  Perfect to fit the glass jars that I already filled with some holiday sparkle...

Not sure if I can part with the glass door knobs!


I picked up a few treasures for myself that I will show you when I start sharing my holiday nest next week!

I am going to take a break from posting through the weekend.
I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I have so much to be thankful for this year, starting with my mended heart to seeing other broken hearts around me mend as well.
I am also thankful for all my wonderful blog friends ~ you add so much to my life!
See you next week!
