Squee! I love antique shopping. James had a day off on Monday, and I really needed a break out of the house. He said that he didn’t mind watching the kids, so I could check out a few of the local antique shops. I had a great time too, and found a few vintage finds that had to come home with me.
I have wanted to visit this shop for quite awhile, it is called the Treasure Hunt. I spot their ad in the local paper often, and it looks like an interesting store filled to the brim with antiques.
Sadly, they were closed on Mondays…
So I did some window shopping instead.
Hopefully I can visit there sometime soon. It looks like a great shop.
So since I struck out at the Treasure Hunt, I headed over to another store that I have wanted to visit.
Trader Dave’s Antiques and More
It was a great big store filled with room after room of antique and vintage goodness.
Trader Dave’s reminded me of some of my favorite shops in SW MO.
I wandered all over the store several times. There were a lot of fantastic pieces.
I found some goodies that just had to come home with me. I found three vintage Pyrex bowls, a tiny vintage suitcase, and a pretty vintage purse too. Yep, they had to be mine!
These look perfect for a night away.
They look pretty cute with my very favorite vintage bag too.
I had such a fun afternoon, I was happy to check out a few local shops too. I hope to make this a monthly trip for myself, it was great to get out of the house for a bit.
