February Finds

I wanted to share some recent finds that I am excited about with you guys. My sister just bought a house in the Ligonier, PA area so that has given me a whole new area of antique shops to explore! Some of them are literally walking distance from her house....that could be dangerous for me!

I made a stop at the Laughlintown, PA Antique Mall during my last stay at my sisters house. It is pretty small for an antique mall but definitely worth a stop because it is full to the brim with really good American primitives. More than ever lately I am drawn to very simplistic but beautifully crafted American antiques and this antique mall has so many. I found numerous goodies there one of them being the crock below in the middle. You guys know how much I love old crocks and this one seemed just perfect for my growing wooden spoon collection.

I also wanted to share with you these beautiful ironstone looking bowls that the Dollar Tree has right now. I bought a bunch and when I got them home I realized that you really can't tell that they aren't antique ironstone!

Another awesome recent find is this antique homespun towel that I bought at the thrift store for a dollar! I was soooo excited, I mean the weight and the weave on this...just beautiful.

The winter weather has definitely broke and I have been adding little touches of spring to the house here and there.

Another find that I was so excited to get at the Laughlintown Antique Mall was this antique homespun sheet. I have seen these before but they are usually out of my budget, this one was super affordable though and then was another 20% off! It is so incredibly soft and has the weight of a thin blanket so it is just perfect for our little crib seat. Millie loves to lay on here and calls it the "little bed". 

We also managed to do some picking while we were at my sisters and I got lots of goodies to sell at the spring Springfield, Ohio Antique Extravaganza!! I am going to be doing a post soon about why you need to go to this show!!

I am currently working on a dining room blog post and am also going to be starting a new weekly series entitled "Weekly Inspiration" in which I just show a series of pictures that will hopefully inspire you in some way! I hope you enjoyed seeing my new finds, I love having somebody to share them with!
