Treasure Hunt ~ what fun~!


Hello my friends ~ I hope you are all well and enjoying the spring weather ;-)

Mr. Vintage and I went to Aberfoyle, Ontario this past weekend with our good friends Karen and Mike ~ we had so much fun.  I would like to share our treasures with you ~


I love old blue bottles.  We found these at an estate sale on the way home.   



I especially love this little violet ink well ~



I added some labels to these ~ sigh ~

I have been looking for a dough bowl for quite some time ~ well, be still my heart



just look at this beauty and it was the cheapest at the whole antique show!  I just love it ~



This little butter press had to come home with me !~



I had the wooden scoops and the ticking napkins I found on etsy ~  love the farmhouse look..





I also found this old box.  I put all of my cutting boards in it and hot pads so that they are handy when I need them ~





I also found this ironstone bowl ~ love, love, love it







I found this sweet frame a while ago and decided to put my mom and dad's picture in it.  I think it's perfect ~



My farmhouse kitchen is starting to take shape.  We had such fun treasure hunting ~

Have you been treasure hunting lately?  What wonderful treasures did you find?

Next time, I'll update you on the progress of the Chico Picket Fence ~

(((Hugs)))

  7. That dough bowl is very nice.
    I love the ironstone bowl. You found some great things!
    I have not been junkin'. I have been working on decluttering, so I haven't been in the mood. Can you believe that? Odd, I know. It is so hard to declutter any vintage things. I just have too much stuff. But I will be back in the mood soon, I know.
