photos :: pretty things

While Ivan and I were at the Salamanca Antique Market with Kaylah and Kevin I took tons of photos of pretty things that I wanted to buy. The thing about antique places is that they are full of great stuff but most of it is more expensive than I would like it to be! I still love walking through and looking at all of the things to add to my thrift store treasure hunting list. I wanted to share some of the eye candy with you guys!

Ok, that was probably major photo overload...but look how pretty!

    There is absolutely no such thing as photo overload when it comes to pretty antique things. Much appreciated!

    oh my!! I see so many things I would love to own! I know what you mean though, a lot of what I want at antique stores is so expensive. Major sad face. But at least you have the pictures to look at. :]

    There are never enough 'pretty things' photos! I love 'em. I do have a question though. When you take pictures of things in stores do people ever get upset and say things like "no cameras allowed." or do you just take them without them knowing? This has happened to me,so I was just wondering! :)

    As long as it's pretty it can never be called a photo overload! I love your pics, especially the one of the wall clock and the books! So pretty!

    I have that exact set of mushroom jars and salt & pepper shakers from your first picture! I got them all from a second hand shop for $38. I wish I had the mushroom cups though.

    That's so nuts, I check you and the dainty squids blogs daily- I never realized how close you were. Salamancas literally 10 minutes away from where I live. haha.

    Amber, I take photos everywhere and I have never been asked not to. A lot of people are worried about that though so I guess it's common.
