Back from a vacation shopping spree!

vintage treasures from antique shopping spree

All this and MORE! Yes, I couldn’t fit it all into one picture.

Tablecloths! Aprons! Vintage fabric! Thermoses! (Or is that thermi?)

This is what happens when two vintage-crazy sisters go on a nine-day vacation with the ulterior motive of hitting as many antique shops as possible between the Finger Lakes in upper New York and Niagara Falls, ON.

Sadly, I don’t have time this morning to show the rest of my loot. In the week to come I’ll have better photos and mini reviews of the great shops we visited in Canadaigua, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Corning.

So stay tuned for more vintage goodness! We left lots of great stuff behind for you!

It’s bluebird-approved! Here’s why.
