I was out running a few errands the other day and decided to steal a few minutes for myself. There was a sweet little antique store down the street. I’d been there before, but not for a few years, so I wanted to pop in and see how to store may have changed. I found a few items to come home with me, a few for a client I was shopping for, and LOTS of inspiration and beautiful treasures.
I’d been on the look out for a few small pots for plants for a client and found two winners. One is a cute little terra cotta pot, the other is a white shabby looking pot with scroll style handles. They’re just what she was looking for and eager to get her plants in it.
For myself I found the most darling salt and pepper shakers. (I’m considering starting a salt and pepper collection, but that’s a conversation for another time.) They are the cutest little blue birds and Keith said they remind him of something his grandma would have had in her house, I’ll take that as a win.
I also found a hammered copper watering can. I love adding metals to bring some texture and cozy to our very light and bright home.
One item that I picked up that was new but a good look-a-like for a vintage item was a decorative lamp chain pull. It has a ceramic toggle with florals on it. It will look perfect on my big brass lamp.
I just can’t seem to pass up a good deal on a vintage items. But remember my rule, don’t buy it if you don’t know how you’re going to use it. If it’s something you feel like you just have to have, brainstorm and think of how you might be able to use it around your home. Are you ready to see a few of the things I found that I loved but didn’t buy??
