Treasure Hunting!!!

Treasure hunting this past weekend in Lincoln City (aka ANTIQUING) was sooo much fun!! Now antiquing really has become THE THING TO DO, so my goal for any treasure hunting outing is to find something that speaks to my soul while still being extremely kind to my wallet!!

When I go treasure hunting, I never really have anything specific in mind, but I do have always have a budget in mind! Also, every single thing that I purchase has to be something that I LOVE!! No love, no purchase – it is as simple as that!

My eye always seems to fall on the same kind of items like:

Vintage brooches.

Sparkling chandeliers always catch my eye – aren’t they just divine?? 😉

Fun and funky art – I am always envious of artists!!

Antique glass – ooh shiny!!

More costume jewelry!

Trinkets for a vanity!

Vintage purses!

All kinds of stemware!

Vintage compacts!

Did I mention that I LOVE costume jewelry??? LOL!

I really love antiquing, it could be for anything really, and I must give a great big kudos to my Sweetie because he has the patience of a saint. As long as he has a good book to read, a steaming cup of coffee, he can hang out at this little shop all day!!!

As for the treasures that went home with me that fabulous hunting day; I went home with a fabulous pair of vintage earrings, a la Breakfast at Tiffany’s, a little black hat with a veil, some vintage fashion magazines, and a perfect little book written in 1941 on Vintage Hollywood Glamour!! DELICIOUS!!! May all my treasure hunting outings be as fruitful!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!
