A Little Shopping

So it's August already. I'm not usually one to complain too much about the weather (after all, what can we do about it?).... but this is going on 40 days of over 100 degrees. I know, you people are thinking, "She lives in Texas. Doesn't she know it's supposed to be HOT in Texas?" ;)  But actually, here in East Texas, we usually don't reach 100 until mid-August, and some years we might have just a day or two of that hot. But this year?

Well, enough about the weather, except to say, I am so absolutely thankful we have air conditioning!

Last week, I shared a unique table that I had purchased. I am planning on redoing the table when I have time. (Believe me, I have been crazy busy the last few weeks!) ;) I have bought supplies, but now I'm just waiting on the time! That trip was so much fun. We weren't planning on antiquing that day... actually headed to a local lake for some cool water time. But this place looked so interesting, we dropped in for a look-see.



I wish I had taken a picture of the outside of the building. It was an old train depot and half was converted into an antique store. Although it was all open air, it was a cloudy day, and not super unbearable in there... I thought you all might enjoy a look around with me! (First, let me say all these photos were taken on my phone, so aren't of the purest quality... please enjoy anyway...) :)

I'm not sure why, but I've been wanting an antique coffee grinder for quite a while. They aren't quite in my budget though!

(and I love the detail on the table behind it!) 

Loved this lamp!


Ok, you know I have a thing for chairs right? Look at the detail on this rocker!!


Can anyone tell me what this chair was used for? I can't figure it out. There were a couple of them. See the hook on the side and the slot in the back? And the top is really wide...


I thought this recipe box was great! Love the shelves to display recipe cards!


Love, love, love this tray!!! (But for that price -$69.00 - I let them keep it!) :)



Since I (obviously) couldn't afford to take home what I admired, I just took a few pictures instead! :) Not everything was overpriced. In fact, compared to many antique shops, some of these prices were rather cheap. So of all the fun things that "got away," at least I have some fun pictures to look at! I hope you enjoyed our little shopping trip! :)
