Just can't wait to get on the road again!

We hit the road last week. A quick trip to Minneapolis and back in 2 days. My husband, daughter and myself. We had a great time antiquing all the
way up and all the way back. Our first stop was one of my all-time favorite shops, Ms Macs, in Janesville Mn. Primitive lovers heaven. The displays are so creative and inspiring.

Located in the coolest historic building in downtown Janesville.


This pair of urns would've been mine if I would've had a trailer. I loved how all the white looked, the architectural salvage is always a favorite of mine.

This unusual stone mosaic urn did come home with me, it's very heavy and I love it!



Another view of the white display.





Oh how I love this horse! Wouldn't you just love to take him home??





This is great old octagon shaped hardware store fixture, storage for screws ect would my guess. It was super neat.
If you are ever near Ms Macs in Janesville it is well worth the trip. We had so much fun and the owner Ron always makes you feel like an old friend.

Does anyone else do this?

I saw a picture of an old battery jar in a magazine and it inspired me to make my own, does anyone else 'borrow' ideas ? UPDATE: The battery jar photo is from Bryan and Melanie of Seed Box Antiques lovely home featured on Garden Antiques Vintage blog by Theresa Cano.
Not sure who to give photo credit to for this one, if anyone knows , let me know.

Time For Fun

A few pictures from our trip to Kansas City. This is Mission Road antique mall.
More Mission Road. This is a huge multi-dealer mall, plan to spend at least a couple hours and wear comfy shoes!

Curious Sofa, always a fun place to shop and get ideas!


Gosh, it's hard to believe summer is almost over! I've been doing some traveling, going to some auctions, lots of garage sales and the shop has been hopping! I've been adding new treasures weekly to the shop, come check us out if you are in the area.

Serendipity Anitques, photo tour

These vintage typewritters make great display pieces, alone or in a group. Or salvage them for the vintage type keys for you jewelery designers. ( just don't tell me you are going to rip them apart, lol)
Old document boxes rest on top of old tin bread box.

This old cash register was bought at auction by my dad, from and old country store that was going out of business. My mom about killed him for dragging it home. After he passed away Mom gave it to me and I love it in the shop. Makes me feel like a piece of my dad is still with me.





Does anyone need a globe? I love how they look in a group.
