Antiquing

There’s nothing more fun to me than browsing antique shops, just to see what I can find that catches my eye. So, I went back to two of the shops that Kat took me to last May, Bienvenue and Smith’s Antiques. I took a few shots to share with all of you since I know you enjoy it as much as I do. I loved this natural dried wreath with BELIEVE garland looped over it to look like peppermint candy. So pretty! This will get you in the Christmas spirit!

This pink and green combo is so pretty on the black rocker.

And of course, shells in glass always gets my attention.

A pretty toile pillow.

And I just loved this color combo with the shot of leopard print on the chair.

Blue and white dishes, so classic.

A black and white transferware platter was very pretty.

Does this look familiar?? Pricetag for only one was $350, it wasn’t even a pair. This one was about the same size as my pair. I know I got a great deal on mine!

A pretty rustic blue door.

A REAL zebra rug.

Victorian birdcage.

I am really liking these Regency iron and glass tables. Love the shape of this one……

And this console table. Love it!

This paint finish was pretty with the caning.

Bunnies always catch my eye. Lamp and pillow.

Dressmaker form, anyone? And how about that pretty chippy blue shutter in the back?

Love this old door.

And this tole platter.

Graceful furniture lines.

Alabaster lamps.

More furniture

Toile and some old iron fencing.

And I stopped by another place I spotted called Scavengers. They had a mix of old and new.

Pretty little table.

And these colors together were just yummy!
Hope you enjoyed the day of antiquing. I’ve got a busy week with cooking for Thanksgiving and enjoying our company, but I’ll come back and share my Thanksgiving table with you when I get it all figured out! I hope all of you will have a wonderful week of celebrating with your familes and eating some special food. Celebrate the season!

    Hi Rhoda,

    They both look like fun stores to browse! I love that green screen with the black diamonds.

    So you have to cook this year? Is everyone coming to your house then? I’m also cooking – I actually like it when we eat out but then everyone complains about no leftovers! So I’ve been doing dinner for a few years now.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    xo,

    Manuela

    Where are those stores, again? I am sure you told us before, but I must have missed it. They are awesome.

    I hope to do some thrifting/antiquing around come spring. A few weekend trips are coming soon.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Do my eves deceive me or does that apothecary jar of shells says $375 on it?? Oh MY…that’s a lot of clams for some shells. 🙂 You’d be able to replicate it for under $5 with one good day of yard saling!

    I looovvveee the Regency tables. I’d love that round one for my guest BR. It’s perfect!

    Thanks for taking us on the tour…I loved these photos! Antique window shopping has gotten even more fun now that there’s blogs…we can travel across the country (world!) in one morning. 🙂

    Antiquing is one of my most favorite things in this world to do. I really enjoyed all the pictures you took. Did I miss something or did you come home empty handed?!

    I’ve been to both of those stores in Destin and could have filled my car with treasures from both!

    Glad you had fun. Have a great Thanksgiving!
