Things that make my heart beat faster...

Every now and then I come across an item that makes my heart rate go up several beats per minute... And some day....well you most likely know the end of that phrase! 

    Vintage Plaster Architectural Fragment

 The serenity on the face of this architectural fragment makes me sigh with contentment, what a pleasure it would be to look at this every day.



   Vintage Set of 7 Cast Iron Pins and Silvered Balls

We have sold vintage and antique miniature bowling sets for several years but I have never seen one like this before....I am afraid this would have to be a "keeper"...it would be wonderful no matter where it was displayed!


Lately, antique and vintage Industrial items have been tugging at my heart..just look at this amazing light.
           Large Industrial Flood Light
I am thinking this would have to be another "keeper"!

When I find items that combine storage with the Industrial look my heart rate really goes up...imagine all the treasures this unit would hold..
Something else I am partial too is baskets, old Industrial Storage baskets...like this one...
 I could store lots of stuff in this basket!

Well, that is just about all my heart can stand for right now...what are some of the things that make your heart beat faster????
If you click on the name under each item you will be taken to the shop and the item :)
Have fun...

Vintage Storage!


They say if you have more than two of something, it's a collection.  So, I guess I'm collecting metal storage boxes!
I have these three large sizes.  I use the hang tags to tell me what is inside each box.
The next two are half sizes.  I use all of these to store my paper punches, buttons and pins that are listed, buttons and pins that are waiting to be listed and smalls that are to be listed.
This is a roll top box that I store staples, paper work etc. in.
Here is a small index box I found:
It turned out to be perfect for my business cards!
Here are some I found for sale (click on photo to be taken to shop)!
 
I REALLY want this one!

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Online Shopping for antiques and vintage treasures???

Yep! Yep! Yep!

I have some favorite antique and vintage shops that have an online presence also, some are new and some have been around for a couple of years...some I have known about for awhile and some I just discovered...

Let me introduce you to a few of my favorites :)



Old Crow Antiques is a very new online shop specializing in fun and funky vintage collectibles....keep an eye on this one folks, the owner has a great eye for the interesting and the unusual...




                                          Thea's Interiors

Thea's Interiors is the new online presence of a wonderful B&M shop in Portland, Oregon.  Thea has been an Antique Dealer for several years and in addition to her shops she sells at Antique Shows and in her spare (?) time  does interior decorating.  This shop not only has a selection of fabulous antiques but she also showcases special hand created items from gifted artisans.


                                               Siettela

Siettela is a shop located in Japan.  I first met the young man who owns this shop when he purchased items from us at an Antique Show....you may even find some of those items currently for sale in his shop!  He travels the world purchasing unique and functional items and I love the way he showcases each one.




Em's Heart has some of the most beautiful antique linens available online, each one has been carefully laundered and pressed and the descriptions are like a small history lesson....she also sells acid free tissue paper and a linen wash to help you preserve your antique linens....


                                    
                                              Factory20

Factory20 is a shop I just discovered today, it specializes in vintage and antique industrial style furniture...can  you say zinc tables!  I love this look....so check out my newest discovery!

I hope you enjoy visiting some of my favorite shops and checking out their goodies!

Happy shopping!
