Antiquing Like Nobody's Business

I went to the Sacramento Antique Faire this weekend, which is the 2nd Sunday of every month. Sure, it's under the freeway, but it's a pretty great market. I was in search of a file cabinet similar to this one or this one. I'll start the post with some things I didn't buy that I thought were pretty ridiculous, including one that looks like a giant smiling piece of poo. I repeat I did not buy these things:

Now, on to things I did purchase:

1. A triple-decker glass candy jar that I will immediately turn into a triple-decker terrarium. ($4.00)

2. An awesome set of lockers for by the door to stash our shoes, keys, bags, etc. (I've been looking for the right set for some time and these are nice and small and therefore easy to move.) ($75.00, talked down from $95.00)

3. A cute little birdie! ($2.00 - probably too much but I'm always looking for little guys that are just the right size for my small terrariums)

4. Two brand new retro tea towels ($2.00 each, not pictured)

5. Large glass cookie jar, similar to these ones I found last time, but RED and with a painted flower motif ($7.00, also not pictured)

Wine County Antiquing

I loved this, even if we have to go all the way back to this shop to get it next week (we had Turkey in the back and didn't think we could get both in the back of the car)!

More Randomness

Antique Faire today! I went earlier than normal and everything seemed way more expensive than last time. I found two cookie jars (above - terrible picture, sorry) that I thought would be snatched up if I waited, so I walked away this week only buying these guys for $30.00. It was probably more than what I would have paid if I went later in the day, but I love them. I was originally only going to purchase the blue, but loved the combo of the colors together. I've never seen anything like them!

The below items are from earlier thrift store hunting trips:

(those ears are definitely not original, but still cute)

(love the two-tones of green on this one)


(everyone needs a big wiener dog figurine, no?)
