weekend finds...

this weekend was great.

on saturday,

shane and i spent the day

treasure hunting 

with my lovely parents.

we headed to denham springs.

i always seem to find 

great things from the spots in denham.

here is a look at what i got.

first up,

these two cuckoo clocks.

the clock to the far right

is one that i have been eyeing

for at least 6 months.

it has been at a little place

called serendipity

and it was a great price.

my lovely mom bought it for me.

the other clock was only $5.

yes, $5.

and the moose head

was purchased during our evacuation

to houston

from z gallerie.

i think they all 3 make a super presh collage.

a green tablecloth.

i love picking up tablecloths

any time i can find them.

those and napkins.

the pink blanket.

it's such a great pattern.

it's twin size

and i'm so glad it's mine.

some beautiful doilies.

i also pick up a few every time i go

antique shopping.

i especially love these because they

still have the labels.

love love love this spoon.

it is great because

it has a little B.

definitely an amazing find.

got lucky in the silhouette area

for sure.

i am obsessed with the

silhouette of the little girl.

it doesn't have a home yet

but, one day,

it may be perfect in a little girl's room.

i love the silhouettes of the lady and man.

i swiped them up immediately.

they go perfectly with the

vase (which is a knife handle)

on the piece of driftwood.

another cute little collage.

saw this tray on my very first trip

to denham springs.

finally broke down and bought

it this weekend.

love this little set.

it also came with 4 mugs.

it was only $25.

it still has the labels on the bottom

of each piece.

i don't know what it is,

but when stuff still has the labels,

i love that.

got the orange picnic basket this weekend.

i like it stacked on top of the brown one.

this lovely lace collar.

i have plans for this.

it is so beautiful

and supposedly

extremely extremely

old.

found two christmas cards and this presh photo.

i use the photos for different projects.

i have plans for the christmas cards.

a little sled,

the guard of a fan,

a bucket, 

and a unique little star.

i have plans for these four finds

to be incorporated

in my christmas decor.

a screen door.

this piece also needs a home

and will be incorporated

in the christmas goodness.

this little sampler.

i love samplers.

it is always hard to find ones

that are not extremely tacky.

i have one other one that

is probably one of my most 

favorite finds.

this one is really big

and i don't know that we have

any room for it here,

in the apartment.

it may just have to wait for our house.

the best part about my love

for all things old,

(my boo may disagree)

is that my family is constantly contributing

to my obsession.

my mom was so sweet and got me

lots of my finds this weekend

and my grannie recently picked

up a few things for me.

she got me that pencil sharpener

that i adore.

i looked at one for a while

last time i had gone shopping

and decided not to buy it

so i was thrilled when she gave

me this one.

she also got me these gorgeous bottles.

she gave me a beautiful hat too!

we are running out of wall space

here and i don't know how many

more finds the apartment can hold.

i am always worried that we will cross

some sort of line into 

hoarding.

ummm.

maybe we have.

well maybe it just looks like that

because we are in a small space.

i dunno.

but it is my fave hobby,

hunting for lovely old things.

i don't think i can stop.

:)

hope you all had a blessed weekend.

ash.
