and a happy and healthy new year!

Here's to lots of good finds in 2013! :-)

SUNDAY ANTIQUING

Some nice pieces found this weekend!

Large white planter on bottom was found 

at 2nd Avenue Thrift in North Wales, PA 

and other pieces found at Somerville Antiques Center 

and Antiques Emporium in Somerville, NJ

So I've been wanting to check out the 

antique centers in Somerville, NJ.

This place was GREAT! 

The building was an old Woolworths

Excellent vintage and mid-century stuff plus way more!

Awesome kitchen collectibles! LOVE!

This place was great too!

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!

SUNDAY ANTIQUING

Fun day antiquing with friends yesterday.

Black Rose in Allentown was having a weekend sale.

15%-50% OFF! Picked up this nice little green McCoy 

piece and cool pink drip piece.Afterwards went 

over to Weil Antique Center and found 

this gorgeous McCoy planter in a peachy-pink. 

I have it in blue also! Yippee!

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!

BEFORE & AFTER

Found this little hutch over Labor Day Weekend.

Painted it last week. I'm really happy with how it turned out

and even more happier that it became another 

way to display pottery!  :-)

WEEKEND PROJECT... for the love of pottery!

I've always wanted to build some shelves 

in this spot for pottery (what else! haha!)

Yay! Pink and green! Love!

END-OF-SUMMER SALES!

I was surprised to see how many yard sales 

there were on Labor Day weekend... 

and what great stuff for bargain prices! 

This stuff was cheap, cheap!! 

 I am loving the mini hutch! 

Not sure what I will do with it yet!

Perhaps it will become a display for pottery!  :-) 

May end up painting it first. TBD!

THE SUMMER of POTTERY!

I've been having so much fun this summer going to all 

of my favorite places in search of pottery and more!

Friday my friend Carol and I spent the whole day shopping

and I have to say that I am very happy with my purchases!

Above, purchases from Zionsville Antique Mall, 

Black Rose and Weil. The large HULL planter 

on the bottom has a yellow inside... beautiful! 

Can't resist PINK!

Blue and Green :-)

I am loving the white Floraline planter. 

I found it in green last week!

MORE FROM FRIDAY

Decided to take a quick ride over to 

2nd Ave Value Thrift Store in North Wales, PA

 last night... they are open til 9!

This place is great! So beautifully organized! 

I did pass up a few pieces of pottery but had to have these 3!

FRIDAY THRIFTING

Quick trip to Care & Share today.

Nice big Imperial Pottery planter (I also have it in pink!)

and 2 nice Brush McCoy smaller planters.

ANTIQUING IN NJ

So we decided to head out to the Columbus Flea Market in 

Columbus, NJ on Saturday only to find out that Saturday is not 

the day when the antique vendors are there. 

But we did go into the Columbus Antique Mall which is right 

across the parking lot from the flea market. 

2 buildings with lots of good stuff!

Afterwards we headed through New Egypt, NJ 

where we found a few yard sales and thrift shops.

From there we went to the Grist Mill Antique Center in 

Pemberton, NJ.Yay! I love this place! It's very ME... 

all the stuff I love! Restaurant china, vintage kitchen 

stuff, pottery and more!

Their other location, Haddon Heights Antique Center in 

Haddon Heights, NJ was also amazing! I was racing the clock 

as we got there at 4 and they closed at 5! So much to see! 

Came out with this cute vintage plant stand and pottery and awesome 

restaurant bowl. Also got some vintage jewelry and a gift 

for a friend! Oh and both antique centers were 

having 20% off sales on Saturday!

YAY FRIDAY!

Once a month Care & Share Thrift Shops has a half price sale.

Got lucky today! Beautiful green Floraline planter, 

White pedestal planters, Floraline and Haeger,

beautiful Brush McCoy white flower pot, yellow McCoy 

vase and small aqua planter marked USA,

and... this big pink McCoy round planter! Happy day!

LAST FEW WEEKENDS

Fun time at the Golden Nugget Flea Market in 

Lambertville this past Saturday with George and friends Jenny and John.

I'm very happy with my tin trash can and pretty green McCoy planter!

The black tin trays were found at a yard sale last weekend... 

4 of them for $2!

Found this beautiful white McCoy vase at 

Sleepy Hollow Antique Center in Mt. Bethel

last Sunday and this tin kitchen canister in mint 

condition was a yard sale score for $2.

And yes, more pottery! 2 planters were found at Care & Share 

in Souderton and the cute little pink planter with squirrel was

25 cents at nice little flea market on the way to Care & Share!

George and me... Jenny, John and George deciding on where 

to eat lunch and me and Jenny feeling very happy with our purchases!  :-)
