Oh my gosh... I NEVER knew this place existed and yet I've driven by it over a dozen times this past year. You've probably noticed that I'm hitting a lot of thrift shops lately. That's because I'm on a mission, searching for a very specific 'something' which I'll share with you in a future post.
At one of the stores I stopped at last week, it was suggested that I check out Fairground Antiques up toward Keene, NH... Well, if any of you live up that way, it is a great place to spend some time browsing!! And for those of you who don't live in the area, come on in with me and take a look around! (Click any of the photos to enlarge them if you'd like.)
Look at that old birdcage! Isn't it gorgeous?? I had to keep repeating words 3 & 4 of my six word meme: Natural packrat, WANNABE MINIMALIST, Forever Conflicted... Remember Donna, WANNABE MINIMALIST. Stay strong!
But how can I stay strong with all these treasures? Just look at that rocker! Periwinkle blue over a chippy pink and black basecoat... Can you picture how perfect that would be in my living room? The painting over my fireplace has all those same colors!
Remember one of my previous posts about using old windows? Look at these! They have old illustrated storybook pages behind the glass panes... Such cottage charm!
I think we had that old telephone back in the 60's when our telephone number started with two letters! And look at that perfect chippy Mary garden statue!
Oh my - another vintage birdcage, but this one has a stand and it's priced way less than just the cage alone in the first photo!
Wouldn't you have LOVED this when you were a little girl? I'm a very grown up girl, and I still loved it! It was just beautiful in person... my photo doesn't do it justice...
Okay, I really, really tried to be a minimalist... honest I did... But I had to buy one of the items that is pictured above... Lots of the booths were running specials.. 20, 30, 40, even 50% off, so I couldn't pass up a 50% discount. I'll show you more photos of my purchase in a future post... I wonder if any of you have an inkling what it is ?
And the hunt is still on for the specific item I'm looking for... I hate to be so mysterious about it, but it will become clear in a later post... So I'll be sure to take you along when I do some more junktiquing in the weeks to come!
Donna
