Finally Back to Blogging

Sorry that i've been neglecting my blogging. Technology just isn't so dependable on the road.

I've looked at these pictures about 10 time thinking about all the awesome antiques we saw in down town Charlotte. Some of them I wanted really really bad, and some of them I could just appreciate. Sensibility took over when I realized that I would have to ship this home or seriously pay off the baggage person at the airport. Didn't bring one thing home.

Above... I came closest to buying these blue mason jars, the color just made me smile! Signs on a fence at our lunch spot (which was delicious and at least 3000 calories). A cradle, so sweet... but I would need another baby to make it practical (and thats not happening). I could do oh so many things with this cubby.

Above... This building was to die for, had the most awesome light near the windows. I didn't think I could go another day without this rolling cookie cutter, but it turns out i'm fine without it. Hubby was into the signs and coke machines, whoops duplicate picture :). Loving old bottles, wouldn't you know today I have the perfect idea for them (a day late as usual).

 

Cool Cool muffin tins. Snack set loved it.  Amazing windows in the building. Shot of the exterior, it was an old textile mill. Can't get enough of these old milk bottles.

More to come of the trip... but I've got to go get some hugs. We are an only child house for one more night. Niguel comes home from camp tomorrow.

Looks like an awesome trip! I can totally appreciate your fascination with antiques, my parents have always had lots of them around when I was growing up, and still do even today. Love the muffin tins, and cookie cutter looks awesome too. I can see why you would have been thinking of creative ways to bring these home. Oh, well at least you have pic's to remember them by. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Have a great weekend!
