Oops, I did it again . . .

I went to another antique store yesterday, but it was in a small town so there was some hope.  What looked like total trash on the outside, was an addict's treasure on the inside (and out).  I could have spent hours sifting through everything, but I had my two little ones with me.  Speaking of sifting, guess what I found?

Can you read this old rusty thing?  It's a vintage Androck Hand-i-Sift.  The little fine print states that it was made in the USA.  Can you believe it?  Something made in the USA.  Well, this was probably because in 1924, that's how things were made . . . at home.  Would you like to see a little more?

Yes, I put FLOWERS not flour in my old sifter.  You're probably wondering what those two weird looking shoes are.  They're antique shoe forms made out of cast iron.  I thought they were pretty neat looking.  They're also quite heavy.

But it didn't stop there . . . I found these:

Two beautiful vintage frames.

I had a wonderful day finding very beautiful and interesting pieces . . . It was a good day indeed.  Perhaps some of you are wondering why I chose sepia to display my photos.  All I can say is that I find it beautiful.  I think it adds even more character to a piece when its simple form reflects beauty that can attract the eye more than vibrant colors.  It whispers, "There's a story .  .  . come take a look."

 Now, all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do with these vintage frames.
