~On the hunt~

If you have hunters in your family you may easily recognize the
 'hunting fever' when you see it.

Although when we ladies are gearing up for a full day of antiquing /fleaing we may display some of the same signs as our male counterparts.

In search of that special item, we plan our hunt.

We have scouted out our favorite hunting spots and we know just where to look for that elusive item.

The planning of the D-Day invasion has nothing on us.

 Some of our best spots may even be kept secret... from our closest friends.  Shhhhhh!

If we are lucky we just might might sneak up on our prey,

aha, lovely blue and white plates

darling little red transferware tea pot

Be still my heart, a case full of vintage silver

Isn't this a darling booth?

treasures looking for a home

I love shopping at Flea Mkts, and little antique stores. You just never know what you will find around the corner.

 Excuse me, Ma'am, do you know where I might find some more blue and white china?

And when we find just the right item,

We pounce

 and proudly set off for home

Once there, we want everyone to come see our latest trophy.

Be it a giant rack of antlers or a tiny silver pot............we hunters are all the same.

Here are a couple of lucky finds I was able to bring home recently.
And of course I'm proud to show them off.

I found this adorable picnic basket at the Salvation Army flea market for only 2.00
I love the wine bottle holders on the back.

Here she is sitting on a side chair in the dining room, and I decided to tuck a little bouquet in the wine holder

and this little silver beauty, which I have plans for.

I adore vintage silver plated flatware.
Unfortunately I adore a lot of things....ha ha
Oops...look closely, that looks like another hankie to add to my collection.

I do believe I feel a little fever coming on again.

Stay tuned
