Thrifting, Antiquing & Art Shows

Seems like ages since I last posted.  Busy girl here.  The Beave & I went antiquing & thrifting last week.  We went to our favorite Sanford & Son type shop.  This old oak dresser was sitting out on the sidewalk.  It needed lots of TLC but I loved the carvings, key holes & drawer pulls so I snapped it up.  It is also on wooden casters.  Here it is in my car on the way home.  First we schlepped it into Shirley's Volvo.  Then later transferred it into my SUV.  The top was really messed up with rings & scratches.  I've sanded that all down.  I'm working on the sides & drawers now.  I know I should sand it completely & restain but I'm too lazy for that & have bad wrists soooo I will sand it enough to paint in some shabby chic fashion. 

This little like new Minky Teddy for $1.99 made it's way into my car as well.

And these shoes from Salvation Army which were brand new and just my size.   They were marked a 1/2 size smaller than they really fit so that is probably why they didn't sell. These are around $90 brand new!

Sunday we went to the Danville Art & Antiques Show where Ms. Connie (CGS) had a booth.  Well, actually tables, not booths.  I took a few photos but since it was sunny that day, they are kind of burned out.  We were worried about rain & we got sun.  It was a beautiful day.

There is a darling little crown under this netting.

Love the doll head. 

This pretty heart went home with Shirley.  After the show we went to Walnut Creek & went into shops up & down Main Street.  A fun very fun day!
