I Love Collecting: April 2010

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.

SUNDAY ANTIQUING

Stopped in at The Old Lumberyard Antique Shops in Milford, PA this past Sunday. It's one of my favorite places! 2 huge buildings FILLED with great stuff! Something for everyone... vintage radios, primitive antiques, furniture, mid-century items, glass, dishes, pottery, artwork, 50s lamps, which BTW they had tons of... great ones... and I was very tempted, books, old garden stuff, and more! The "season" has begun! YAY!

DISPLAY IDEA

This wooden rack comes from an old church pew. It was used to hold the bibles and hymn books. Now it's used to display some of my vintage restaurant china!
