Junkin in NW Indiana One thing I love about Summer is the junkin trips we can take. So let me share with you the last one we did and I'll show you the goodies I found.  This place is called Green Oaks Antiques and they recently had what they called a yard sale. Almost everything was on sale, especially the items found in the yard.   This place was decent sized and had some good treasures. They also had so stuff made to LOOK like it was old. Which is a big pet peeve to "G". So it was up to the buyer to distinguish the two.  But I still had fun! At first it was easy to maneuver around, the place was crowded. Apparently they only have this sale once a year. But once I got inside, it was much harder to shop and take pictures. I had to put my phone down in order to be a good customer. I would have ended up stepping on someone or having a ton of photos with strangers in them. So, I didn't get a ton of pictures but I did get the outside. Once I got inside I found a couple ......

A couple of weeks ago we went out on a Sunday and hit an Antique Store in Warsaw Indiana. The Indiana Antique Mall And no this is not a sponsored post, just a day out with hubby doing what I like. Meandering. I took a lot of pictures, but these are some of the highlights. A Printers Cabinet that also had, the typeset letters with it.  I may have the name of this cabinet wrong, but I have never seen one with the metal letters still inside the drawers. I can't remember the price, but it cabinet itself was less than $400.00 I am not going to talk too much, so you can just take a virtual tour with me. I almost bought that breadboard.

The green planter above is hard to tell, but it was almost 5 feet tall.  That's another thing I am wishing I bought.

Salvage | Antiques | Shopping I found another amazing Antique & Salvage Store you have to see and shop at. I saw architectural salvage that is totally drool worthy! From; antique doors, barn wood, corbels, farmhouse tables, French antiques and a whole lot more! This is a post that is long on pictures and low on chit chat. Antique Wooden Ladders Barn wood for sale by the foot. These stunning topiaries had to follow me home. Wait until you see where they go! This French Dome tray was both beautiful and huge! It could easily fit a 7 layer cake. I put a large mason jar next to it, so you could see how big it truly is. Antique Metal Hay Feeder I wanted to bring it home! Metal Galvanized Letters I wanted to grab every single one and come up with words for my walls later. Antique Corbels. These were difficult to leave behind. Salvaged Metal Gates. You know how I love salvaged metal! Another difficult salvaged treasure to pass up were these wrought iron fence caps. They are solid metal and......
