So, I love finding little (or big) treasures at my corner junk shop- especially for only 5-10 quid a pop. This way, if I am buying a useless piece of junk, I am not being "taken to the cleaners" in the process. I wanted a record of the things I have bought so far, so what better place than my blog...
This is the one "big purchase" I have made- my English sideboard. I have no idea how old it is, some dovetailing and little oxidation, but not as much as I would expect. The "ball" type things on the bottom are called "cup and covers" and are very detailed. There is an English rose and grape pattern which matches my kitchen perfectly... seriously... I warned you... very dull blog entry... read on if you dare...
My step mom and Grandma Esther bought these candlesticks for me and I found this pewter pitcher a few weeks later- they look so pretty on my sideboard!
This is my "new" Singer sewing machine. He was "born" between 1906-1908, so if he is not an antique- he will be next year! It actually still works and is in very good condition!
5 pound bookshelf- reminds me of the ones we had in our old (now demolished/condemned) Elementary school in Middletown. Really quite functional!
This is my little electronics cabinet- quite a bit of oxidation so he may be kind of old too!
Here is my newest addition- I needed a table to set my antique sewing machine on. That and it is very sturdy for if/when Eli decides to climb it! By the way (if anyone is still awake and reading at this point), Ava took all of these pictures- not bad, eh?

Don't forget to take these pictures to the museum curator near/on the base that we were told about... you may really have some treasures! -Karyn
Ness, I like your newest little table and the sewing machine - you've really have found some neat items at that little shop.
I think you still like to treasure hunt and you're still very good at it... Mom.
