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! ♥
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki
ReplyDeleteNice 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

Cute things. I love the red scales or balance or whatever it is called.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Hi Vicki ~ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all those chickens ~ they are just adorable and the scales well....just think they are marvelous ~ have a great DAY~! ;-)
ReplyDeleteoooh lots of magnifique treasures! i say buy the scale! :) Can't wait for your big announcement! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!).
ReplyDeleteI saw some scales at our flea today too.
ReplyDeleteThirty dollars...didn't know if that was good or
not?
Looks like that store is full great things. I love those scales too :)

ReplyDeleteI'm adding your button to my sidebar.
Love the bunnies!
ReplyDeleteIt 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*.
ReplyDeletehope you've had a great weekend.

I hope that you and yours enjoyed a happy spring break. And it's wonderful that you found some time to shop/browse.
