WHY DO I COLLECT?

Why do I collect? That's easy... because it's so much fun! Ever since I can remember I have been going to flea markets, antique shops, yard sales, you name it. Wherever I could find some sort of interesting treasure or cool piece of junk! I love driving around in search of new places or revisiting my favorite spots. I come from a family of collectors and have lived amongst antiques and collectibles my whole life. I have a passion for decorating especially with things that I find in my travels or even things found in the trash... which by the way can be some of the best stuff! But for those who share the same passion, I don't have to tell you... you all know what fun it is and how addicting it can be! Here I will share my collections, interesting finds, decorating tips, photos, projects, friends collections and thoughts and whatever else I may find along the way.

SATURDAY FINDS

I've been dying to get to the Bus Stop Flea Market in Slatington, PA
so Saturday morning, my birthday, was a perfect time to check it out!
It was pretty good! Looks bigger on the website but definitely 
was worth going to! Very happy to have found all this pottery! 
I am really loving the yellow McCoy bowl! A nice old piece!

 And I was happy to find another matte green Floraline piece!
 Love these too! I have some other vases similar to this and 
2 other planters of this same pattern in different colors
And, also loving this nice white Haeger vase 
and these 2 yellow McCoy's!
Happy Birthday to me!!

NEW COLLECTION?

I don't know what it is about these vintage casserole dishes 
but I just love them! The smooth feel and shape... 
I see them at thrift shops all the time... and have been buying them 
whenever I see one in mint condition. Could this turn into 
another collection? Yikes! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

piece and cool pink drip piece.Afterwards went 
over to Weil Antique Center and found

COLLECTION UPDATE: Garden Hose Nozzles

I love the way this collection looks high up on a 
ledge over a closet in the living room.
It's grown a bit since the first time I posted it!
