We visited the Maumee Antique Mall and Great Finds Antiques (also in Maumee) today. Here are some pics of what I saw today...
This was super huge-about 2 feet tall!
Too expensive for me...but oh, how I drooled over it!
What is it? I got distracted and didn't ever get over to read the sign-LOL
What a great idea for a cutter quilt!!
My mom had a few of these when I was growing up.
That blue guy is pretty creepy
LOOK at this lunch box!!! How cute!?!? Is it $90 cute though??
This is a kitschy napkin holder that Auntie bought...someone put a lot of work into it!
For lunch we went to Five Guys---YUM!!!!
Back to Michigan!!
After I dropped Auntie off at her car, I saw a garage sale sign pointing to a house that used to belong to a great aunt on my mom's side of the family. I went to a sale there a few years back, but thought they'd sold the house when she went into assisted living after breaking her hip. I was very pleasantly surprised to see all kinds of vintage stuff in the driveway as I walked up. Even more surprised to see her daughters running the sale!
I picked up the picnic tin set-in the original box (just like the one I saw in Maumee), the thermos, some vintage pillowcases, a little plastic bowl, a plate to plant in my flowerbed, a beer box, and a couple of hot pads. The other things are things I picked up at the two antique malls. The butterfly quilt came from online-less than $15 for some seriously long hours of work!
It's kind of silly to buy an empty box...but the beer box reminds me of my childhood. When I was a kid, my mom got two beer boxes and painted them shiny black and then she painted my name in big pink letters on the top.It became my "suitcase" for camping. I packed my clothes in it and it fit in the camper quite nicely. I didn't even know it was a beer box until I was older. I just assumed everyone had that type of "suitcase". So, for $3, I got a piece of my childhood.
Look at this tablecloth!!! How FUN!!! It's already on my table!
I found this online earlier this week. I've been looking for years for this! It is a metal 12 days of christmas wreath that comes with mini plates depicting the 12 days of Christmas. I don't want the little plates, because I want to use the wreath for my Fiesta ornaments. I can't wait to hang it!!!
