Best Find of the Day…

On Sunday my mom and I went to the antique fair….we had such a great time! I love looking for old stuff for my house.

 LOVED these mason jars. This seller always has a ton. I resisted and didn’t buy any….but it was tough!
I thought these signs were adorable. I might have to make the “go ride your bike” or the “love you more” some time soon. 
As I’ve mentioned before, we are in the process of trying to update and upgrade our kitchen. Part of that process includes finding a safe place to store some of my antique glassware. Wouldn’t want baby R breaking anything! SO that leads me to our best find of the day…..let me introduce you to my new buffet cabinet.

I LOVE this cabinet. It is made out of old windows and bead board and is perfect for the space! 
I can’t seem to find a recent photo of what was there before……but this one is from a few years ago….

I never intended for this Ikea bookshelf to be in the kitchen…it worked for awhile. But it is by no means baby proof and had to go!

So here is the space now. This summer we will have two shelves built above it to hold more cake plates, milk glass, mason jars, and other vintage stuff. But for now I’m just lovin’ my new buffet!

My other favorite find of the day was this library catalog file. It was only a few dollars and so cute! The plan is to fill it will three clear glass mason jars with flowers. LOVE it!

  1. *gasp*. no mason jars?! man oh man, I would have scooped up every single one of those if they would have let me. I was just telling another blogger my pinning of mason jars is getting a little out of control. 🙂 that catalog file is very cool. good finds!

  6. The buffet looks AMAZING and I absolutely LOVE the library catalog file idea! Ditto to what Lacey said 🙂

  7. Julie you are just so Martha Stuart! Who'd da thunk to put mason jars inside a single card catalog file!?! LOL You of course! Love it!

  10. Woahhh that is the jackpot for antique mason jars. My collection has gotten a little out of hand, but I don't know if I could have resisted those! 😉

    You had some great finds!! I just love your decorating.. you do the cutest things!

  11. Those Mason jars are lovely, you have far more self control than I do!! Haha. Either we don't have wonderful antique markets like this in our city, or I just haven't found them yet.

    Love the items you always find – especially that buffet cabinet…just perfect!

  13. I love it! It looks so good already, and I know the shelves will pull it all together even more! 🙂 I actually bought an old library catalog at an antique shop over the weekend too! Not sure how I plan to use it yet 😉

  20. I LOVE that buffet! And no mason jars?? I don't think I would have had the same self control…my guess is I would have bought them all and come home to an unhappy hubby. 🙂

  25. Love it all! I would have absolutely had to buy the sign that says"love you more". There is a story to that. Next month I AM going to that antique market.

  26. That buffet is perfect! I want to make some room to put that or a curio cabinet, but I can't figure out where to place it that won't make the area look crowded.

  31. I am dying over those mason jars! I would love to find some to decorate with! And your cabinet is gorgeous and your style is to die to for! Beautiful upgrade, my dear!
