What have ya been doing over the summer ~~ Part 2

Hello once again Prim Friends!

Today's post is about ~

One of my favorite summer junkin' shops and finding treasures!

I have to go to this shop at least once during the summer.

For some of you that have followed me for awhile ~ you'll recognize this shop ~ I did a post on it when my friend Vera took me there  ~ The post was called whats behind the yellow door!

Well lets see whats in store behind that yellow door shall we?

I collect oil cans ~ but these were a little pricey for my blood!

I love how they put succulents into vintage finds ~ such a cheap and wonderful idea to beautify your garden!

Need some vintage silverware???

I fell in Love with this coffee grinder ~ my niece wanted it too ~ O.K. I'll keep looking!

Another one of my favorites ~ vintage books & glasses

Love this display!

Wonderful collection for the man in your life or decor for your cabin...

Another of my favorites ~ vintage toys

Aren't these the sweetest???  Their yours for $95.00

My daughter would Love everything in this display ~ she collects vintage hand mirrors

(she's a hairdresser of course!)

I just loved these chairs ~ I picture them around a campfire ~ who doesn't sing around a campfire???

What is it about shoe forms???  They always catch my eye ~ I'm more partial to the wooden ones though.

Wasn't that fun???

Nothing like a fun day of treasure hunting!!!

Here's the treasures I just had to buy!!!

I just had to get some of those succulents ~ isn't that little teacup cute???

Did ya see anything ya liked???

I think I did pretty good for a day!

Speaking of treasure hunting ~ I'm so excited ~ and can't wait to go!!!

Tomorrow morning we're heading to ~

Indiana!!!

My niece Niki ~ My daughter Amanda ~ Sister in-law Gwynn and I are going to the Antique Market there on Sat. then on Sunday we're going to St. Joseph in MI to Antiques on the Bluff.

It's going to be a fun filled weekend ~ just us girls!!!

I hope I find some wonderful prim treasures!!!

Don't worry I'll let ya know!!!
