Shopping for Antiques

Shopping for Antiques |

Shopping for rusty treasures and antiques is my favorite way to spend a hot and humid day. So let me show you another wonderful store where I shop for local treasures.

This place to me is great. They are almost always open, especially on Sundays. Which here in the bible belt is a miracle. No this is not a sponsored post, I just thought maybe you'd like to see some of my local haunts and Rusty Rooster Antiques is one of them.

When I say local, to me that means within an hour and a half. I generally won't drive more then 90 minutes to a new junk or antique store unless I know the price point up front.

I can stay home and watch re-runs instead of being flabbergasted at someones deranged idea of what they can gouge people for. RRA seems right in line with other antique stores in the area. I saw a lot of goodies, had my wallet allowed, I would have the back of my SUV packed full!

Let me take you on a nice tour.

Sometimes I hate it when I am in picture taking mode. Looking back I see something my eye missed, that I would have bought. Like the little galvanized bucket below.

Or this adorable rusty pig. She was a good 2 feet wide.

Now these boxes I drooled over, and I seriously...want them!

Or this beauty below. Tell me this wouldn't make a very creative planter for annuals!

It didn't have a price tag on it and I meant to ask because I want it. But again, me in picture mode. I get all chatty with the lady behind the counter and just forget what I wanted to really talk about.
