Antique Extravaganza!

This Weekend is the spring Antique Extravaganza in Springfield, Ohio. My friend and I have been going to this antique show for the last 10 years at least. We also go to the one they hold in September. This has been the best spring one weather wise in a long time. Warm temps and lots of sunshine! Usually it's cold and wet. Do you need a rooster in your front yard?


How about this cute metal chair planter?

Personally I like this skinny church.
We did pass some cozy looking chenille bed jackets that I thought I might pick up for chilly evenings when I sit in bed perusing my favorite blogs. But then we passed this lovely jacket and thought it might be a bit more stylish!



It had a cape like styling and it fix perfectly! It would surly keep my shoulders warm. The vendor had me try it on and my friend Becky had me put on her sunglasses for effect.



What do you think?
Um, I'm thinking not.
This next booth was my favorite! I loved all of her items.
Her shop is Romantique Boutique
she is located in Waterford, PA.



Love, love, love it!






Beautiful. I imaging love letters here.





She has scrumpcious laces!









Cute embellishments on a vintage photograph.







Lovely, Linens.

I really liked this next booth to. They are called
2 chicks & a truck
you can find them at trosel1@fuse.net
I only took 2 photos because I talked to long
but I purchased a cute little chair I'm sharing in a bit.













They did a great job styling their booth space.








Here is the stuff I brought home. 2 linen tablecloths to cover the sofa cushions. Cooper would ruin my sofa because he messes these up often enough. 3 doilies. ( forgot to put one in this photo. It's on my mantle already) My cute little chair and a pin cushion.




The little blue and white doily fit perfect under my Meakin salt cellar.













Here is everything added to my mantle vignette.












I love my little chair. It has all the colors of everything I have displayed here!
I get to be in the July extravaganza with my handmade Etsy group. I will be busy making new stuff to sell until then. I'm very excited. Don't forget to check out the Cottage Charm Give away!

  2. Beautiful, every photo. I love anything vintage. I've never been to an antique extravaganza before (just peer through windows of antique shops now and then) but after looking at these you make me want to go! Looks like fun.

  3. What a great place to go. I will be going to the "Farm Chick" Antiques show in Spokane, Washington in a couple of weeks. Your pictures make me even more excited about our trip. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Romantic Boutique would have been my favorite, too. I especially love the lace and old letters. I am not a farm girl or especially a country girl, but that rooster might have had to come home with me. I am so much NOT a chicken girl, but I really love it.
