Tuesday Treasure Haul

Last week on a staycation,
I had the chance to head out for a treasure hunt at one of my favorite
Fort Worth, Texas Antique Markets.
 
I would have loved to take pics inside the mall to share with you
but they frown on that, so my goodies is all I can show!
 
 
It was a good day!

 
Loved this gorgeous little brown and white
transfer candy dish.


 
These tiles are 6 inch square and were on sale for just a few dollars for
the set of four.
Love these for trivets.
Behind those is a flower basket with the perfect rust and patina!

 
This is what I was looking for.
A vintage chair for my garden.
I found this at another shop on the way home.
So glad we stopped.
Love the animal print fabric but it will have to go for the makeover.
 
And look at this darling burlap and birdie stenciled pillow.
It was only a few dollars and cheaper  then it would be to create it myself,
but it will get some great embellishment!

 
Look at there darling fairy paintings done on reverse glass.
I have plans for these too.

 
Could not pass up this sweet little shabby drawer and the spice jars of buttons.
More plans for these sweeties too.

And, be still my heart. More white pitchers.
Gotta love these!!

 
One of the best little glove boxes I found in a long time.
You know I will have plans for this gem!!

Vintage and charming to find this old time classic set.
They are perfect just the way they are and will
shortly go to my etsy shoppe.

Love this lumbar pillow and it had to come home with me too.
 
So there you have it,
my haul for the day!!
 
Come back tomorrow and I will show you the chair in the garden makeover.
 
Wishing you~
Southern DayDreams!

Vacation Days and Treasure Hunts!

I just love day trips and especially those that take me to my favorite antique markets to hunt for great finds for redesign.
My dear guy enjoys treasure hunting with me and has a great eye for just the right items for me to paint, redesign and create with. He even sees goodies I miss. So together we make a great team to go junkin!
Last month we had some extra vacation days, so off to one of our favorite spots in Fort Worth, Texas we went and hit the road with great expectations of treasures to find.


As we traveled our beautiful Texas countryside, we passed scenery like this~

And the Tractor Supply here~

The Silo's there~

The Pink Smoothie here~ which wasn't open even though the sign said it was, but next time it's on my list!!

Finally we arrived at our destination, at this spot with the awesome gazebo in front.
No pictures to be taken inside, so I will see you in the next paragraph with my new treasures.

But first, we stopped for lunch here and had a wonderful time~~



Here are my great finds~~







Can't wait to tackle creations with these goodies.
So homeward bound we go, happy for a wonderful vacation day, past the beautiful countryside.

Past the lake and golf course~


Back home to our waiting Miss Beazy Lee~

Looking forward to more vacation days and I hope you enjoy a few day trips too.
Till next time,
Happy Junkin,
Hugs from Texas, Celestina Marie
