Estate sales and antique fair finds

Shopping at estate sales and antique fairs is a passion of mine. You never know what treasures you'll find.

Over the past few weekends, I attended an antique fair and an estate sale. I got this lace last weekend at an estate sale.



I am always on the lookout for china. I especially like teacups and small plates. I picked up these plates at the estate sale.



These will be perfect for tea parties.



I think this one is my favorite.



I thought this one was pretty too. And since it has so many colors in it, it will match up with many of my teacups.



Lately I'm into antique tins. I thought this one was sweet.




And just look at the other side of it. I got this at the estate sale. It was a good one, the sale was at an antique dealers home. Wish I could have gotten there on the Friday but as you can see Saturday was still a good day for unique finds.



This one looked all New Englandy so I bought it.



I forgot to mention I went to Sage Farm antiques right before Easter. This tablecloth was so cute I just had to have it.



A few weeks ago, I went to an antiques fair at a local church. I purchased this pristine set of hankies. The burgundy one is my favorite.




The set was in it's original box.



I like this hankie because of it's colors.

I went to two estate sales today, but, nothing caught my eye. That's ok, I've done enough damage lately.

Daytrip to Sage Farm Antiques

A friend of a friend told me about a fantastic place for antiques. I love to go antiquing so I took a vacation day on Friday so I could see for myself.

My friend Kim joined me and we made the trip north to North Hampton, New Hampshire to check out Sage Farm Antiques. It only took about 1 hour and 1 toll to get there. The theme for the weekend was Over the River and Through the Woods.

This dress form was one of the first items I saw so I knew I was going to love this place. Kim and I both wanted the dress form but we decided to spend out dollars elsewhere.



I love anything to do with skating but these skates did not come home with me.




I thought this scale would be a fun addition to my kitchen but I didn't even price it.




Although I love this. I think it might be a little over the top for my home.



Every display was so interesting. This picnic basket had a tea set with it, cute!



Yes, of course I bought some vintage ornaments. I couldn't resist!



Cool doors and windows. If only I had the room!



How could you not go inside this place?



You know this went home with me.



Here's a view of the property. Perhaps I should have started with this photo.



After all the shopping madness, Kim and I went for breakfast at the Village Pancake House in Rowley. We were starving at this point. We each had a full breakfast and then we split an order of cinnamon pancakes! Ok it only amounted to one each and Kim took the other one home.

I would eat my shoe if it had cinnamon on it!

I got some really great things at Sage Farm and one of the items I bought I will post about very soon. I just don't have the photos yet, but, stay tuned.
