Let's Go Antiquing....

Hi Girls...another Monday morning is upon us....I can't get over how October ALWAYS fly's by....were already at the 17th....yesterday was so beautiful here...a wonderful fall breeze was blowing...the temps were perfect ...a STELLAR day to take a ride....my sweetie and I decided to do just that...we hopped in the car with some fruit...bran muffins..(homemade) and some water ...we headed down the road...to....

one of our favorite places....The Williamsburg Antique Mall......it's a bit of a drive for us but totally worth it...we arrived 15 minutes after they opened ...all these folks were walking in too....when we got inside I asked permission to take some pictures....generously the management said ...SURE....so girls....let's go antiquing....

First I want to take you to my ALL TIME favorite booth...the gal who owns this space is a PRIM lover...I always run to her spot first thing...it is warm ...welcoming...and chuck full of treasures ....like this cute pumpkin couple ....her displays are always wonderful...

As I started down some of the other aisles (they start at A-J)...over 300 dealers...you can spend the whole day here just looking....and believe me we have ...MANY TIMES....today however we divvied up our time....anyway this floral painting spoke to me....I couldn't move it because they had their display built up around it behind this cabinet door...I decided to shoot the picture as it sat....I loved it...

These Kitty's were precious...

These next few photo's were of a particular booth that was new since our last visit...I included it because I was impressed with the feeling they created in the 10 x 12 foot space...it was inviting to come upon this well thought out "nook" of treasures....you let me know if you feel the same....

These flowers were made out of felt..then splattered with something....paint...or maybe ink...they are charming aren't they...I feel a project coming on....

I had to wait patiently to take this shot....the "men folk" were enjoying this space...it tickled me to see them congregated here admiring the oil cans... it reminded me of Frank  on the TV show... American Pickers....he always looks for oil cans too....we had a good time looking thru the mall together  finding things that took us back to our childhoods...or when we were first married...antiquing is like breathing for us...we just love it...nothing makes me get butterfly's like the promise of finding that perfect "thing"...the something your always on point to find.....I realized...  this trip to the mall was my first since starting Loblolly ...I had the most fun taking these pictures to share with you ...as much as if I was actually buying things.....THANK YOU....so....I guess that's it for this post girls...I hope you all have a great start to the week....be blessed today...big hugs...till next time..Karena
