Like I mentioned on Sunday, I also did a lot of shopping in Destin.
But of course, one my favorite stop was an Antique Mall.
 |
| Pair of Brass Giraffes - $ 32 |
This is my favorite find there, really beautiful but so heavy as well!
I think these can double as dumbbells if the need ever arises!
 |
| Set of 4 beautiful oriental rectangular plates -$6 |
 |
| Beautiful slender gold-rimmed dishes $3.50 |
And before I left for our break, I went antiquing with some friends at Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
These two below are my favorites.
 |
| Brass Bucket -$15 |
 |
| Gorgeous Federal Mirror |
I'm not quite sure where to put this one yet, so I temporarily hung it by the staircase.
I know I will find the perfect spot soon, I always do, for pieces I truly love. ;-)
 |
| Shopping truly is fun with girlfriends around! BTW, the BAR on the top pictures is where the move "GONE GIRL" was shot - Ben Affleck played the owner of this actual bar! |
Hope you have Wonderful Spring Day!

Would love to hear your thoughts! Please share away...

Great finds! We wnet to Destin last summer, and had fun shopping for a day. My daughter found her gorgeous vintage homecoming gown at a consignment and antique store there. My faves are those giraffes you found!
ReplyDeleteThat mirror is Hunger Games...Love it
ReplyDeleteWow! You really got some great deals, Vel! I can't believe those pretty gold rimmed dishes were only $3.50! I love the giraffes too. You really got some wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love antique shopping while on vacation and bringing home something amazing (like the giraffes and dishes) as souvenirs from the trip! Better than a keychain or shotglass! =)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I can see my Little friend has being shopping! I love those brass giraffes, they're awesome for your house, can't wait to see where you put them! The dishes are such a bargain, they almost just gifted you with them, lol! You did great Vel and had fun at the same time!

ReplyDeleteWell now, aren't you just the best little finder of all things lovely! The giraffes are beautiful. My hubby would like those. He bought a larger, all leather giraffe many years ago and it's still one of his favorite things in our home (besides me, of course :) )!
ReplyDeleteI am pea green! We do not have any deals like that around here! Great stuff and awesome prices...I love those giraffes! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am pea green, we do not have any deals like that around here, for sure. Great prices, great finds! I just love those giraffes...my favorite!
ReplyDeleteVel, I cannot believe that you were so close to our place in Florida!! I am glad that you went, when you did. My husband said they had four inches of rain over the week-end - yikes!! Did you go to Smith's Antique Mall in Destin? I love shopping there. Actually, I love shopping in many places in Destin - love those giraffes. Such fun!

ReplyDeleteThe mirror is really unique.

ReplyDeleteLove the mirror! Those dishes were a bargain, pretty too ;)
ReplyDeleteSo many great finds, Vel! I love all the brass items especially the beautiful mirror. I have always wanted one of those but I had way too many mirrors already, I didn't even have a place to hang them all! :)
