antiquing (or as we call it shopping for cool junk!)

04.07.10 Posted in Personal

I love old stuff. Chris and I have spent countless hours browsing through antique stores in all the small towns surrounding San Antonio. We’ve been to Boerne, Gruene, Castroville, Fredericksburg, and Wimberly. The thing about old stuff is that if can be expensive and well, my Momma taught me to look at the price tag long before I get my heart set on anything. I love looking at all the pretty expensive things, but the fun for me is finding pretty great deals :)
Last weekend we didn’t have a wedding. We haven’t had a weekend off in a loooong time, so we decided to check out Fredericksburg. It was ridiculously busy because it was Easter weekend, but still tons of fun. Here are a few shots of the very pretty things.

And my one find of the day! I love tins and kitchen-y tins are the best kind. This bread box now has a home on the shelves in my dining room. It didn’t have a price tag, so I decided that I would ask how much and I would pay up to $25 for it. I asked and it was $4. SOLD!!!

Vanessa Jungbauer - I love pretty antique things! = )

Connemara - I would like to know what store y’all were in too! I am thinking of starting to collect old glass bottles for centerpieces and low and behold y’all had a picture of ‘em! Can’t wait to meet you!

Stephanie - I think that you ladies can make ANYTHING beautiful. Keep up the great work, I truly enjoy your work!

Kendra - What store was this in?? The hanging mesh cylinder is AWESOME!! I could see doing various crafty things with that. And I frequent Fredricksburg often due to the proximity to our family’s hill country property.

BTW I love looking at your photographs. The style you two have is exactly what I love!! I too am a photographer, and am learning more and more each day. I love that you two look for the little things…the details. I too am huge on details, especially ones that people miss. Thanks for all the hard work and postings!! Keep it up. :)
