The other day, we spent the day running errands, and for our reward, we stopped at our favorite local antique shop, The Treasure Cove in Taylorsville NC. Want to see what I found?
(now please remember I took these pictures with my phone, and Picassa can only help so much, lol)
I love how someone took these vintage hand drills and created a towel/coat rack. It gives me an urge to ransack Chuck's work shop, but he told me to keep out. hahaha
In the same booth I saw this wonderful corner shelf made from a vintage wooden door. Chuck just shook his head and walked away. How did I ever fall for this man???? :-)
Vintage electronics is a real love of mine, and the design on the speaker of this radio is just great!
And lastly.....my downfall.....furniture
I just love old cupboards, and side boards, and dressers. This one had a wonderful old latch, and when I opened the door, I was engulfed with the lovely old musty smell from a cupboard that has been used for generations. I told Chuck that when I "redo" my kitchen, I would love to toss out all the cabinets, and just line the walls with old cupboards like this.
Now I'd like to leave you all with links to a few of my favorite vintage lovers blogs. I get to live out my hidden vintage desires thru them, and it keeps my home from getting too cluttered. :-)
Kris from Junk Chic Cottage
Susan from Must Love Junk
and Angie (who lead me to them) from Knick of Time.
If you enjoy vintage, you'll enjoy them. Till next time....
Be blessed,
Debbi

Not sure that I'd don't agree with Chuck's attitude although I can see how YOU'd like them!
I beat you to it tonight - by just a minute!! Amazing thing technology - I still never cease to be amazed by it (as well as being terrified of it!!).
Have a great week-end. Isobel

Love the old cabinet! I wish I had space for one of those, so I could show of my plates and vintage teacups.
I like the vintage radio, beautiful
LOL Isobel...I do like them, but not enough to bring them home. Lucky Chucky. hahaha
Hey Suzan...thanks for stopping by. I follow you too, but thru bloglovin. :-)
Isn't that great? now while I like the smell of musty things (old cupboards and books) I'm not so sure about putting dishes in there that I eat on, they might get musty too. :-P
Love that coat hanger. what a great idea they had! way to recycle those hand drills!
