Antique Shop Spotting: Sweet Memories Antiques

While Grammy and Grandpa were in town for Christmas, Grammy joined us for a little antique shop spotting. :)

This little shop, called Sweet Memories, is in Brandon, Florida. It has multiple rooms full of great stuff, including lots of records, organized by band name! We had been looking everywhere for a certain record, and we found it right away in Sweet Memories. :)

Some of my other favorite things there are shown above. I especially liked the mid-century tin dollhouse, the tintype photos, and the cups with the die in them! Very cool. :)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

Antique Shop Spotting, Pensacola Style!

 Okay guys, this is my last Pensacola post! (I know- it took me a whole week to recap our trip, but we fit in a bunch of fun there!)

Anyway, some of the last places Grammy and I went on day two of our thrift-ventures were a couple of antique malls. They were both really cool, with tons of fun stuff to look at, photograph, and buy as Christmas presents!

I actually almost bought the butterfly above- it was only 50 cents!- but I resisted. It was a little weird...

I also liked a lot of the handmade items at these antique malls. They had some original and neat things, like the license plate cuff bracelets and the seashell art. :)

Pensacola is such a great place for the antique shop (and thrift shop!) hunter. If you're ever there, be sure to visit some of the great local places!

Antique Shop Spotting! :)

 There's this cool little antique mall down the road that is so neat! It's called Somewhere in Time and features probably 15 or so little booths. :)

Above are my favorite things I spotted. The best part? Most everything pictured above was less than $30! Pretty good for an antique shop!

My favorite thing in the place was the grey marble skull in the bottom picture. I really wanted to get it, but I just couldn't justify the $18 price for such a little item. Although, maybe I'll go back...

Anyway, we're off to Pensacola for Christmas with family this evening, and I can't wait! It'll be great to hang out with family and have a nice holiday. :) Plus, the thrift stores there are great, and I'm sure my Grammy will go with me!! See you next week, folks!

Antique Shop Finds: More Jadeite :)

Jadeite Dish: 60 West Antiques ($3)

I was on a roll finding Jadeite for a while there! This dish I scored at the same antique shop that I found my leather tiger!

Everything in the booth this was in was on sale, too. :) That's pretty much the only time I buy something at an antique shop- when it is on sale!

Amanda

Antique Shop Finds: A Leather Tiger!

Vintage Leather Tiger: 60 West Antiques ($11)

This awesome tiger was in the 50% off room at 60 West Antiques! It's so neat, with little white teeth and everything!

It was funny when the lady ringing me up tried to wrap it in paper to protect it- the tail hung out of the top! I know an old leather tiger is a sort of weird thing to love, but what can I say? I'm sort of weird!

Antique Shop Finds: The Best-Ever Camp Blanket!

Vintage Camp Blanket: West End Antiques ($40)

We're going camping this upcoming long-weekend! I'm definitely bringing my new favorite blanket I found at the local antique shop. :) It was a little pricey (for me!) at $40, but I love it so much!!

This weekend will be a long one- we'll be doing our garage sale on Saturday morning, then camping the rest of the weekend! It will be fun, but definitely packed full!

Always,
Amanda

Antique Shop Spotting!

 

These are some of the awesome things I spotted at the antique shop last weekend! There were so many great things!!

The funniest thing I saw was the vintage green chair, which is exactly like my thrifted desk chair except green instead of grey. :) Plus, mine was way cheaper!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!

Amanda

On the Shelves: Beachy Antique Store Edition

When we were in Anna Maria Island, Florida, we just had to go to the little local antique shop! It was just a few blocks from the condo we stayed at, and there were quite a few neat things on the shelves. :)

I loved the selection of vintage things, from small trinkets to all sorts of glassware and other fun things. The one thing above that I really wanted to take home with me is the kitty ring! It was my size and so neat, but it was sterling silver. Darn metal allergy! Ugh.

But I did get the most adorable vintage squirrel pin with little coral bits. :) I'll be sure to showcase that silly find in the near future!

Always,
Amanda

The Beautiful Handmade Quilt of my Dreams

Vintage Handmade Quilt, Heritage Antiques ($25)

It's been awhile, but I've talked before about my obsession with vintage handmade quilts. When I found this one for a mere twenty-five bucks at my local antique store, I couldn't believe it!! I love the totally graphic red and white design, and it's big enough to use on our queen size bed!

It was extra-weird that I found this on Saturday, when I was wearing red and white. I must have looked quite the picture wearing my outfit and hugging my matching quilt to myself for dear life. I kept checking the price tag to make certain it didn't really say $125...

I hope you had a great weekend!

Always,
Amanda
