Last weekend
my sister in law
and I headed to Ozark Missouri
on a quest to find her the
perfect cupboard for her kitchen.
We actually took the trip
to see a cupboard
she had found on Craigslist
but we couldn't see it until Sunday.
Soooo what's a couple of
antique loving girls
to do with themselves until then?
Yep...we went to every
antique mall
we could find!
Here's a look at some of the
treasures that caught my eye.
I LOVED this white French pitcher
but I couldn't see spending $70
on it.
Above is one of the umpteen
antique malls we searched through
on Saturday.
I loved this cupboard above.
Below is the detail of the
hardware on it.
More details below
\
Look at the height of this screened door!
Love the color.
How about this work table above
Wouldn't this make a great work table
in the garden shed or craft room?!
I think it would take some strong backs
to move this thing.
Above and below is the cupboard
my sister in law went to
see originally.
It's a really cute cupboard but
unfortunately it wasn't
large enough for what it was
intended for.
It's got great details.
If any of you Missouri Bloggers
think you would be interested
in this cupboard
the lady was asking
$250
and it is 90" tall 15" deep
and 32" wide.
Below is what my sister in law bought
instead.
It appears to be made with reclaimed wood
and old tin ceiling inserts.
I LOVE all the details!
The sweet lady who's cupboard
Donna didn't buy
told us about a HUGE antique mall
that was open on Sunday.
Oh goodness...I ended up with a sore neck
from 'rubber necking'
trying to look at everything!
This place had us drooling....
so be watching
because I will be
doing another post on this soon.
I'll also show you what I brought
home with me!
I hope you are having a great week.
Maura :)

Hi Girl! So sorry for my lack a daisakell visits. Etsy takes up all my computer time that my blog and everyone else’s takes a backseat. Looks like things are grand in your neck of the woods. Love the final purchase...take care. cynthia
I'd say you spent your time well! :)
Love the cupboard your sister bought, I would have gone for it too!! We don't have such second hand shops here...I will go bonkers being able to "rubber neck" all those goodies! What a way to spend a weekend with one's sister..
Hi Maura
Fantastic pictures, I have seen so many things that I like! I agree that $70 is a lot for that enamel jug...

I have an enamlled jug exactly like that in my garage, which I found here when we moved it. I wish we were neighbours, I would invite you over for tea and make you a present of it :-D
Lovely photos, I do like to browse these places.
Fabulous finds!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Oh My !!
The Craigslist cupboard was lovely...
But the one your S-i-L bought is absolutely Gorgeous !!
I love the hinges and the 'Porch' overhang...
Looks like you had a great weekend! Love the bread tin and the hutch your SIL bought is very pretty:@)
Love a good antique mall...it's that time of year again! Fall barn sales...love 'em! Thanks for sharing your trip with us...what terrific items.
We LOVE Ozark for treasure hunting! Lots of great places there!!! The black sideboard in our sunroom came from there. We've not been back since we bought it but I think sometime this fall another trip down there is in order -- you found some lovely things!
YUM, I wish I had been on the trip with you.
I am anxiously awaiting your next post to see what you brought home!
Oh my, treasure seeking is such fun!
Love it all! Looks like you guys had a GRAND time! Love the cupboard your sister ended up with, but also love the smaller one to......but oh that work table! LOVE IT! Wouldn't it be a great work island in a big kitchen?
I would put that old work table in my living room. Love it! And you are right $70 is too much for that pitcher. The bread box though would have been worth it.
Liking that French Pitcher and the old work table.
That is a great cabinet! I also like the stepback cabinet!
I have been so ready for the flea market coming up, but it looks like we will have to pass this month. have fun!!
Looks like another trip to southern Missouri is called for! I love antiquing and going to flea markets and Ozark has some good places to visit. I'd love to have the bread box, but don't really have room for it. Darn. Can't wait to see your purchases!
That cabinet looks great:)
Your sister chose a unique cabinet. Lots of things to look at, I love days like that too at the antique malls.
I saw a breadbox similar to the one in your photo but it was much shorter to only hold one loaf of bread, I keep thinking about it and if it's still at the store.

Oh my gosh ~ looks like you had fun ~ thanks for taking us along. I would have been drooling too. Your sister's choice is a beauty ;-)
I love antique shopping and Missouri is a good place to go!!! There is a place I went several years ago. It's right next to the Lambert's restaurant in Ozark. By chance, is this the one you went to? Dying to hear and see more about your antique trip. Hubby and I are going to Branson around the first week of December and I'd love to squeeze in some antique shopping. ;)
I love the cabinet your sister bought much better than the other one...it is really beautiful. She made a great choice.
What a great way to have a girls getaway!! And you saw so many gorgeous pieces! (I would not have wanted to be the one to lift and load that cupboard into your truck though.)
I like both cabinets Maura, the first show a lot of potential but the one that went home with you is divine.
You have such wonderful antique markets over there I am sooo envious.
Hugs,
Sandi
