Fresh Merchandise In the Door - Weekend Finds

As promised, some of my recent finds...
Vintage garden markers from Amazing Grace Antiques, copper letters from Grannie's Attic and a bowl from another shop in Marshall.  

I love the fan & shell detail on the outside of the bowl

The silhouette of this old store display won me over. I found it at Grannie's Attic.

Old porcelain letters from Grannie's Attic

Plastic charms & beads

Enameled European house numbers

Steel letters from Amazing Grace Antiques

Funny little angels on slalom skis, made in Italy

Tea strainer from "Jane's Furniture"

The gals on this cabinet card look a little mysterious

 
I love this big ol' shabby clock from Grannie's Attic 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Weekend Shopping - Turkeyville & Marshall, Michigan

For the past week we had the joy of having two of our granddaughters with us. Yesterday, I took them home to Michigan, meeting their Mom partway.  I knew there would be time to shop, so checked around for events in the area. When I found a listing for an "Antique Show & Flea Market" at Turkeyville, it sounded like fun.  Turns out that the only turkey in Turkeyville was ME, for driving 90 minutes out of my way to get there.
Has this ever happened to you? This was pretty much "it".

Fortunately, the town of Marshall was nearby.  There were 4 antique shops and two of them were especially fun.  Amazing Grace Antiques was loaded with treasures on four levels.
I knew I was going to love this shop.
Vintage prom dresses were hung near the ceiling...
 
 ...there were fun vignettes at every turn...
...colors of the sea...
...and girly delights.

Down the street was Grannie's Attic, another large shop loaded with treasures.
There was a huge variety for home & garden.
I saw chippy delights...
 ...cabinets overflowing with china & Ironstone
...all reasonably priced...
 ...and this faboo fireplace mantel.

I'd love to return to these two shops one day, but I definitely won't be stopping at Turkeyville next time!  Next post...recent finds.
