Trip to Hidden Treasures

Hello, friends!  Kids were off for spring break this week so it has been a little hectic. I've missed you guys. I did manage to sneak off to our local antique store, Hidden Treasures, today. I wanted to check out some of their Easter things. I also wanted to go back and visit a dealer that had some great prices on books.  This time of year, I see roosters and chicks everywhere!  Found some fun Easter decor too.
My daughter will love this one. Glad she wasn't with me. She would have wanted to bring this home. I love primitive decorations. Check these out.


These darn scales have been here forever. I wish they would go on sale. I love the red. So does my girlfriend, Jodi. We have shown much restraint by not purchasing either one. Can someone tell my husband?

I found a few more things but you'll have to come back in April (that's next week!) to see them in my MONTH OF GIVEAWAYS!!
Feel free to grab the button and put it on your blog. It's up there on the right. I'm going to announce or post a new giveaway every Sunday in April, starting next Sunday, April 3rd. The winner will be picked the following Saturday. You will have all week to enter. That means four great giveaways in April. There's so much to celebrate! I'll share more about that and a big announcement soon.  Stay tuned! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. XOXO

    I went to my Thrift store today and found a box covered in shells...they were all the same type shells but in perfect condition! That made my day! It's so much fun to go and see what you'll find! Hugs! ♥

    I like the top scales with the faded paint. When you post a photo as you did I can think how I might use one if I found one. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when a store or an antique faire is cluttered with many items. Hard to find the gem that would steal ones heart!

    Hi Vicki
    Nice to hear from you! Love the scales too, I just bought another one... this one is black with very cool graphics on the side. I have it on my desk here by the computer, see you can always find a place for another scale :)
    Looking forward to seeing your creations!
    Blessings

    I have a reindeer with stick legs very much like the little creatures you showed...surprisingly they are holding up {no pun intended}. I don't think I could have left the shop without one. Love the scales too, especially the red one. Looks like a fun place to visit!

    I bookmarked your blog as soon as I read that you have basset hounds! Like you, I am fortunate enough to share a home with a basset (my husband also appreciates that he is privileged to do so!).

    Look at all those roosters! Congratulations on your restraint. It is hard to walk by something you've been watching for some time and not take it home.

    I'm adding your button to my sidebar.

    It looks like you were in a great antique stores...I adore all those chickens and roosters. Adorable... I don't think I would be able to leave there until I'd had a looooong look around. We don't have a store like that around here...thats too bad..*s*.
    hope you've had a great weekend.
