Ozark Mo. Eye Candy

Here are a few more things we

saw in the Antique Malls

in Ozark Mo.

How about that chandelier! 

This wicker glider

would have been wonderful when 

we lived in the old Victorian house.

Mecky this display above reminded me

 of you!

I loved this booth above!

I loved this 'possum belly' Hoosier

cabinet and that copper boiler

would have worked great for

our firewood beside the stove.

We had to be careful what we bought

 as we thought Donna's 

cupboard was going to fit in the

SUV. In the end it didn't!

I thought you would like to see

this valance.

How different!

Hubby said it looked like the 

spoons were just hot glued to the burlap.

Below are some of the treasures

I brought home with me.

I will probably paint this and age it.

I love the old hooks.

This is my favorite purchase.

I saw some new reproductions 

but I wanted the 'real deal'.

Most had been around $90

but I found this old

 one for $70!

I love the curved spout on this coffee pot.

I needed a place to put my jute string 

and saw this...I'm sure it's not old

but I don't care.

It's better than the plastic container

I have mine in now!

I love birdhouses made from old wood.

This one had a great corrugated

tin roof.

You can NEVER have enough

white ironstone ;)

I also bought a HEAVY

'BUNKHOUSE' 

sign that hubby put up on the 

garden shed/chicken coop

for me.

AND

an old green enamel 

barn lamp that hubby is 

going to make a 

goose neck for.

That will eventually go on the 

screened porch

once it's built. 

Well I hope you enjoyed

coming along for a jaunt around

a few of the Ozark antique

 malls with us.

Enjoy your weekend!

Missouri Treasure Hunt

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.

Texture Tuesdays

Do.

That's the theme for 

Texture Tuesday

I'm linking up with 

Kim from

Kim Klassen Cafe

My 'DO' 

is that I was in 

Ozark Missouri

with my sister in law 'doing'

what we love to do best....

shopping for treasures!

More on that later ;-)

I hope you'll 

head over to Kim's to

check out all the wonderful

photo's that fellow bloggers have

created using Kim's 

textures.

If you haven't tried it

you should.

I warn you though...

it's addictive.

I'll see you soon with more

photo's of our

treasure hunting

in 

Missouri.
