Summer 2018 Antiquing/Treasure Hunting Adventures

Since my work duties changed in February, I spend my whole day on my computer. When I get home, it's been really hard to convince myself that it want to sit down with my laptop to write a blog post. Most days, my brain is totally fried and I wouldn't have anything intelligent to say anyway!

Life with family and friends had kept me pretty busy and I haven't done nearly as much treasure hunting as I used to. Once in a while I get a chance to head out to see what I can see, and sometimes Auntie can go as well!

Here are some pics from this Summer's adventures...
 My cousin's last name!

 Amazing little diner near Collette's Vintage!

 A couple new to me vintage tablecloths.

 Riviera covered casserole...I already have this, so it's for sale!
