Yesterday was so fabulous. Dyl and I found a shop with 10,000 (!!!) square feet of vintage goodness. You know this will be on my radar for like ever! The 12-year-old girl in my came out just now saying that. But, it was exactly how I felt! ;)
Here's just ONE bookshelf/corner. Let's just say the rest of the store was totally packed, as well. {The lighting is the store was terrible for pictures, but so perfect for hunting. Sorry about the in-store photo quality.}
My little treasure hunter. He had a blast looking at all the cool stuff. He's my son, for sure!
Now for the good stuff. Check out the goodies I found. I can't tell you how well they fit in for the Camp Moxie vibe!!
So in love with this flower brooch I found. I spotted it and thought of Elsie of the fabulous blog A Beautiful Mess!! (I linked the picture of the displays Elsie made at Red Velvet with similar brooches.)
There were also these sweet mini plaques. I immediately thought of Spring. Awesome.
Vintage license plates are so cool. I want to collect one from every place I've lived.. OK, so one from everywhere would make an awesome wall art display. Decision made: I'm collecting license plates.
Sticking with the car theme, I found this sweet Ford hubcap. I'm not a car aficionado, so I won't try to say the year. I had the husband in mind when I picked it up, but he told me he doesn't like other people's junk. My feelings were hurt, so I'm adding it to my personal stash. hmm.. win-win still!
And the best find of the day!! {I almost fell over when I found this.} It may be mangled and need lots of TLC, but this mama was head-over-heels in love.
Just a canvas bag, you say? NOOOOO... look closer.
It's a Boy Scouts of America rucksack!!!! EEEEE!! The bindings are coming apart and the leather straps are dried out and flaking, BUT, I will save this beauty. It found the right home.
I woke up this morning, and all I wanted to do was go back. Who wants to come with me!?
