Last week I posted a picture on Instagram showing that I was passing the Springfield exit on my way to Clarksville for an estate sale, and a friend commented asking if I was going to the Antique Barn. I hadn't even heard of it, so I had to stop by on my way back from the sale.
Look at this amazing lunch box! I was REALLY tempted to get it, but it was a little expensive. And I don't NEED another lunch box. But maybe I'll be back for it.
These crochet toilet paper roll covers make me laugh! I never buy them because crochet sitting on someone's toilet for years is to gross even for me. But I still love them.
Finally found the cat! Did I mention there was no air conditioning in the barn? And it was over 100 degrees? She was in the basement on a mirror, probably the coolest spot in the place. I didn't try to pet her, even though I wanted to. The basement was full of great furniture! Most of it needed a little love. When we get ready for it, I'll be back to buy a bed for our guest room.
Springfield is a pretty cute little town, I had never even driven though before. Look at their cute old theater on the square! I love that they still use it. There are so many abandoned old theaters in small towns around here.
This might be the most perfect cup I've ever found! It is a circus dog trainer! I didn't have to think about it when I picked it up.
This sheep is so silly, and was just a buck so I couldn't base it up. Why the green? It looks like earmuffs or something. I was so excited to find another Junior Deluxe Edition that I don't have! I'm up to 20 now! Only 72 to go!
And a little weather house. I can never resist these. I think I'm going to hand mine all on the wall like a sweet little village.
The antique barn! What a great discovery! Springfield looks really cute - I haven't been there but now I want to go.... this fall.. when it's cooler. :)
ReplyDeleteyessss, wait for the tempts to get more reasonable for sure! it is a HUGE mall, and there is tons to look at!
DeleteGIMME THAT CHALK ELVIS PAINTING THAT LOOKS WEIRDLY POST MORTEM AND NOBODY GETS HURT! Haha! It might be too scary to have in my house. But I still want it. I've never heard of this place either, I'll have to check it out after how cool all your finds look. I especially like the little circus trainer glass. :)
ReplyDeletebelieve me, if it hadn't been 150 bucks it would be hanging on my wall right now! This place is HUGE and definitely worth a look, just wait until it gets a little cooler. the owners are two sassy guys, which makes it even better for me!
DeleteSuper cute dog glass! And I love the shot of the old shops/street!
ReplyDeleteCute post!

What Lola Wants
Oh my goodness this place looks all kinds of amazing! I simply love big barn like antiques stores, that just have stacks and stacks of wonderful goodies! And it looks like you made out with some pretty great finds!
ReplyDeleteit was so hot i barely dug at all! i can't wait to go back.
DeleteThe weather house is adorable, and Springfeild looks so beautiful. I love old theatres, we have a really ugly-pretty kitsch one in our town but it's very neglected unfortunately.
ReplyDeletePeople who get caught stealing will be locked in a room with the cat . . .
ReplyDelete;)
I love a good measuring glass and that is surely the king of all of them!!!
ReplyDeleteI really need to go check out springfield now. Also my granny used to have a couple of those crochet toilet paper covers...I always used to steal them and make them play with my barbies. In retrospect that seems really unsanitary.
ReplyDeleteI was there today and will post some pics on my facebook page. Love to go there but didn't find quite as many good deals as I did last year. Maybe it's too early in the summer. Never did see the cat today. I will be back my next time passing through.
ReplyDeleteLove the Elvis and ET. what a shame the tin was too expensive. I hate when people try to cash in too much on pop culture. Takes all the fun out of it.
