MY WEEKEND FINDS

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!
I found that piece of pottery on the right a week or two ago, but I can't remember where I got it! I used to be able to remember where I got every single thing! Some might say that it's a sign of getting old. I say, I've got way too much junk!
I've been trying to go antiquing once a week, and it's so nice when you see new things in the booths, like these Lefton S&P shakers. I only wish that they changed their merchandise at the same time that we bloggers start decorating for each holiday. There should not still be Christmas stuff on the shelves! Am I right?
After going to three antique malls in one day, these are the only valentine-y things I came home with. Love them, but where is all the valentine stuff???
I saw these bunnies while I was Christmas shopping, and it just didn't feel right to be buying something for myself at the time. What a relief to see that they were still there when I returned for them!
So what's the situation at your antique stores? Did you find anything exciting over the weekend?!

Great finds! I love the little birdies! And I agree where is the valentine stuff? Blessings from Alabama.

Fun finds. I used to remember how much I paid for every item without writing it down. Not so much now and I was explaining to my son the other day tha I think it's because of the sheer volume of junk I now buy. Surely my brain still works!!! Enjoy.

Hello, Carol! What sweet blue birds! And don't you just have your blog decorated so cute for valentines day, too.

I haven't been to our antique mall since right after Christmas but i'm due to go again soon. ♥

Those little flower faces are darling. I love your finds of course. I can think of nothing better than an hour or two strolling through the local antique store.
I didn't see any Valentine stuff now that you mention it?

Love your little Valentine girls! I was at two antique malls on the weekend - Valentine items were practically non-existent there too!

I never see any Valentines stuff. And there was hardly in Christmas stuff out this year.
The vase is wonderful!

Those birds are so cute! I am glad you got your bunnies!

I don't have a problem with things being sold out of season. I have a hard time wanting to buy new Christmas things when I have so many gifts to buy, so buying out of season is great. I just bought a silver tree 2 weeks ago!

Yesterday was our big flea market and it drove me nuts not to go. But I told myself that if I am going to spend money, it will be on the house. I have so much junque that I have things boxed away. I should shop in my garage!

I went to one thrift last week and found a few items but nothing Valentine's! I haven't been to my antique mall lately but might just have to make a trip this week. I'm trying to cut back on purchases...really I am! hugs, Linda

Oh I really wanted to antique mall shop this weekend but the time just didn't work out. I've got a few things on my list. I have my eye out for a children's record player made in the 1950's, I had one as a child and REALLY want one. I have some records to play on it. I adore the little blue birds they are very sweet.
Happy Week! Ann

Definately has to be that we have too much junk to keep track any more :>) I switched my space over to Valentine things a couple weeks ago. Just don't have as much V stuff as Christmas suff.

Hi Carol,
Nice blue bird S&P!!! LOVE the pottery pieces. Valentine decor is so limited. Hard to find for sure. I'm hanging on to my few pieces.
Warmly,
