Vintage finds

Posted on | Friday, July 17, 2009 | 5 Comments

Thank you so very much for all your thoughtful comments and emails after my last blog post! They have meant so much! Matt and I are still in search for the perfect dog. We have narrowed the breed down to either a german shepherd (thank you bloggers for the great recommendations!) or an english mastiff (thanks, emily!). I'll keep you posted. :)

Recently, I nabbed an armload of goodies at the antique shop a couple blocks away from our house. I felt like I hit the jackpot. Spending just over $30, I nabbed a great vintage wooden soda bottle box, a vintage hard suitcase, a handful of vintage brooches and earrings and a wonderful woven and leather belt. Here are a few photos:




Vintage wooden soda bottle box, hung on the wall to create a storage shelf.




Perfect for storing lots of little supplies.






The top box is the vintage hard suitcase.
Anyone going to be in the Salem, Oregon area today-Sunday? The Salem Art Fair and Festival will be taking place at Bush's Pasture Park, which is conveniently a few blocks away from our house and also where we took our formals for our wedding. It should be a great weekend! See you there!

    I love that wooden soda box. I would love to find one of those, and I've been hunting for an old wooden chest!
