treasures untroved...Timeline Antiques

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday is by estate sale shopping and antiquing. Don't get me wrong, I love shiny new things, but there is something to say about finding beauty in antiques. I love to imagine where things have been, the story they have to tell...On this particular Saturday, we began at Oyster Bar and Grill to make sure we were energized for a long day of treasure hunting.
Oyster Bar delivered. I had a greesy cheeseburger (big enough to split or take 1/2 home for later), Ty got oysters, and we all had a margarita,of course :) Now we are ready for the hunt at Timeline Antiques!
So many treasures untroved...random, beautiful, odd, dusty treasures.
For example: why is that doll head on a lamp stand? creeper-creep!
...expensive japanese screens and nutcrackers...
...old comic books and pilot's helmets...
They're singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain!
There is something for everyone! I am cracking up looking through these pictures. These guys were the best treasure hunters ever- EVER! We spent all afternoon in one shop!

happy hunting :)

ps- I got my sequined red New Years dress from here too!

  3. Yeah, it is really happening. That picture is just hanging on his wall. We're all supposed to pretend it's supposed to be there I guess.
