Oak Street Mill , Cornelius NC
One of my favorite antique malls is
Oak Street Mill
located in Cornelius, NC
It's safe to say that I make a trip there at least twice a month
( maybe more)
Lucky for me it's only 15 minutes from my house!
is located in a historic cotton mill
with over 10,000 sq ft of treasures!
I was there last week and snapped a few pictures...
this lovely lady is right up front to greet you as you come in
love this neat cane back sofa
(but don't sit down...!!we have lots to see)
great old birdcage
love, love , love the blue patina on this baby!
On recent trips I've found several great old bottles here
this is a beautiful collection of amethyst ones!
many of the vendors have really gone all out with their
spring/garden displays
loved this one big display in the back
perfect set of four beautiful red folding chairs
this corner has always been my favorite spot in the mall
the sunlight coming through the large factory windows...
awesome!
another bright spring display
just adore these booths
where everything is displayed by color
so many great goodies to look through!
and again ...a touch of spring
love the purple!
this vendor has 3 or 4 booths
all in different color themes
there's the blues, then the pinks/purples
and the red/yellows
it's really awesome!
plus she finds the greatest stuff!
if you are local and haven't been to
Oak Street Mill Antique Mall
what are ya waiting on?
for all my blogger buddies that may be
traveling through North Carolina
this is a great stop!!
there are also a couple of shops just behind the mall
that are great too
The Dry Sink
Ain't Too Shabby &
BeBe Gallinis
I'm so thrilled to be so close to 200 followers!
I'm going to do my first giveaway when I hit 200!
Stay Tuned!!

Sand & Seagulls
this is my sweet little Hannah making her way
down the boardwalk to the beach last week
(North Myrtle Beach , SC)
it was low tide
hardly anyother people on the beach
a perfect day
she loved the sand
just sitting
and digging in it
ahh! to be a little kid again at the beach
she quickly made a few friends...
(and they brought more friends)
it was fun watching her run on the beach
play in the sand and chase the seagulls
we had a nice week visiting family
the weather was awesome
a perfect way to kick off Spring 2011!!
Just thought I'd share these cutie pie pics
of my sweet Grand-Baby
Have a great week!

Day Trip & Treasures
Last Friday my friend Kathy & I took a day trip
to Treasure Cove in Taylorsville, NC
Neither of us had been there before so we were
excited to have a new place to go hunt for some great JUNK!!
We took the scenic route
it was really a pretty drive...lots of big old barns & farm houses
(both pics above from Google Images)
After and hour or so we made it there and
began what would end up being several hours of
hunting through some great stuff!
My car was totally full! Kathy and I both found
some great items at awesome prices!
Here's what I came home with...
metal flower frogs, creamy white ironstone , blue willow mug,
and a sweet little figurine of a little girl and a bird
two freakin awesome vintage cameras!
and Kathy says I have to mention here
that when I found this old ledger book ....
I hugged it like a long lost friend...
Yep...I admit it...I did give it a big hug ( with both arms!)
loved these old jars
aren't those labels so cool
gonna look great in my spring display at the booth next week!
pretty milk glass goblets
I have a customer that wants these for her daughters
vintage wedding for the table centerpieces
cool idea!
two satin glove boxes
two pair of baby shoes ( pink and white)
and we both got a load of these old hankerchiefs ( 40 to be exact )
luckily there was one with a "M"
for Kathy's daughter Meredith
and one with an "H" for my sweet Hannah!
this great old pink candy tin
and two adorable mini size silver ice buckets
such a great size!
we both got two of these metal planters
not really vintage but so cool for spring displays!
Kathy also got a great big garden/tool box in this same metal
several big beautiful platters
the one in the back is a soft pastel blue color
the very bottom one has a pretty gold edge
the other pieces with the pink flowers are Austria China
the dealer threw in the two bowls he had for FREE!!!
( we were lovin that !)
this neat old handmade spice rack
still had the note inside of who made it
back in 1947
it's getting a nice coat of white paint
and last...this old chamber pot
& another small white creamer
it was a good day!
in the hills of North Carolina...
we'll definetly be going back there
the people at The Treasure Cove were so nice!!!
If you are in the Carolinas...it's worth the trip!
I"m doing a big consignment sale this week here in Charlotte
and then headed to the beach on Thursday for the weekend
Busy Busy Busy with TONS of other projects in between
Have a great week!
