We had business in Paragould, AR Friday,
so to mix a little pleasure with business,
we stopped at five antique malls, one thrift store,
and three yards sales.
Warmer weather is here. . . .
and the buys are out there!
Seemed as if I was running into lots of buys on
Farmhouse/Cottage style dishes,
Ironstone platters, vintage clothing,
and a wicker piece or two.
Fine with me. . . .
I love them all
Here's just a few of our finds. . . .
A pristine early 1900s girl's smock in linen came home with me. . .
as did vintage books, hankies, old lace and the bottom half of a lantern.
Two really cute pink china and ceramic potties,
pink baby booties, and a beautiful little Hull vase.
I already have one of these vases and love it.
Ironstone and china platters seemed to jump into my hands all day long. . . .
I did find a few practical items to tote home. . . .
dish pans and more buckets--
just can't seem to get enough of those either.
John found the vintage camera for 1.99. . . .
I found two bags of memorabilia for 1.00
We saw lots of bargains all day--
so tempting to buy. . . .but I resisted and remained true
to the items I needed.
