White Wednesday and A Road Trip

Welcome to White Wednesday

Hosted by Kathleen at Faded Charm... Love White go to Faded Charm and visit all the blogs featuring wonderful whites...

This Wednesday I am stuck on mop buttons and lace. My daughter Jody took these pictures of buttons and lace we feature in the shop. She is a better photographer then I am, so I hope you enjoy these offerings of white today.














The last few days I have been in Minnesota enjoying my family but I did manage to stop at a few places on my road trip from Chicago to Minneapolis.
On my way back home I stopped at about 6 antique stores and found some goodies, so I thought I would share them with you.
The day was absolutely beautiful so I opened up the sunroof - turned up the radio and stopped at anything that looked interesting and had an antique sign.






One of the antique shops in WI






Here are some of the goodies I found inside, and now they are in my shop!



















Pictures and frames and a bridal headpiece



This box is also full of old sheetmusic

I found lots of old papers


And a box full of old ledgers














Nice old mirrors






A pretty yardlong (some damage)



That's it for this Wednesday... I hope you enjoy this day that the Lord has given us. And thank you Kathleen for another wonderful white Wednesday!

Blessings

Rebecca

  8. Wow where do I start??? The pics your daughter took are fabulous and the second one with the whitewashed look is my favorite and I may try that effect sometime if you don't mind.
    Your treasures all in a group look much like the things I bought from Brimfield and still have on the floor in the breakfast room waiting to be photographed. Yicks!!! can't believe I admitted that!
    I'm drooling over your bridal headpiece. I looked for some but found not a one! I guess I'll have to be happy looking at yours!!!lol

  10. Rebecca, I love coming to your blog, I save it for the moments that I can just sit uninterrupted and just look at all the beauty that you show, I clik on the pictures and enlarge them over and over and each time I seem to find new gorgeous details :)Now for all your treasures that you found..they are in my daughters words "simply Faboosh!!! I am in So Cal and I have yet to find things like that, I can't even find pretty vintage ledger papers w/pretty writing, heck I can't even find pretty blank ones :)I actually came on here to let you know that I received my package!! I was so excited...You were overly generous though Rebecca, I loved my tag...trying to decide what side to display and the best part is that 1 of the keys worked!!! My Mr wonderful took apart the lock & played with it till it worked! I am soo happy. Thank you Rebecca you are truly a heart! Rose

  24. Good picks and your daughter's photographs showcase the items well. I am charmed by the test tubes of buttons.

    Beautiful finds in that antique store, please let us know which it is, even though it is thousands of miles away.

    I think the box of papers and bottles are such good finds. If you ever come across a beautiful love letter, please send it along, love those :)
