A Kid In a Candy Shop

This weekend was packed full of fun. We started out early Saturday on our hunting journey. The first stop was a rummage sale in Wayland. This sale has been going on for at least twenty years. Every year we seem to see the same faces. Each one of them eagerly awaiting to see what treasures they will find. This was the fourth time I have been to this sale. In years past I have found many great things including furniture for my home. This sale is by far one of the bigger rummage sales in the area. The ironic thing is that every time I have been it is usually raining and cold. The turn out was actually a small one. Needless to say we always seem to find something cool. Here are a few pictures…………..

About a week ago my mother called me up and told me that a friend of hers had called her and asked her if she would be willing to come over and see her sisters house and barn. She had some items that she was unsure about the age. Of course we jumped at the chance to go see it. Anyone who likes antiques knows that when someone mentions the word barn you immediately get exited. When we entered the barn I was like a kid in a candy shop looking at all of the old beautiful things. The architecture was amazing too. Some of the things had been their since the early 1900’s. I took a few shots of the barn for you to see. Enjoy!!
