I'm back from my camping trip to Colorado for the rug hooking workshop. It was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed getting away for awhile.
Of course I had to stop at an antique shop on the way home and accidentally found a rather large garage/yard sale I couldn't resist!
I've been picking up these Shawnee flower pots lately and I spotted this little pot in the antique shop. I almost passed up the old white shelf but I'm glad I went back and grabbed it too (covered in South Dakota dust).
A small collection of 'stuff' from both the antique shop and the yard sale. I forgot to include the 2 aqua Ball jars I picked up for $1 each.
I'm trying to gather a bunch of glass towels bars for our next home and about dropped when I spotted 4 of them tied together for really cheap!!! Kind of hard to see here.
2 large tablecloths, the one on the right is Wilendur for sure and I'll bet the other is too, has the same look. They were at the yard sale for a very good price, no holes and a few small stains that will soak out.
And a few white dishes that were in a box for $1.
A rusty Crown bird cage for $5!!!! I couldn't pass that up. I was thinking I might paint it white but let the rust come through...but for $5!!!! How could I not get this and this was at the antique store of all places!
I can't leave out a few shots of Rocky Mountain National Park.
The woman who organized the rug hooking workshop is also a good friend of mine. She took me on a tour of Estes Park and drove us up the mountain to Rocky Mountain National Park. That was the best day! We had delicious buffalo burgers and awesome homemade pie in Estes Park at Molly B's and right next door to my friends summer shop, The Wool Basket, we stopped in a quilt shop called Maggie Mae's. This sweet little woman was just the coolest lady and makes beautiful embroidered quilts.
Thanks for a fun day and great workshop Karen!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Great finds on your trip... I don't usually have any extra space for stuff when we go to Colorado! My hubby proposed to me on top of a mountain in Estes Park (the one the lift goes to)... Many fond memories of visits to Estes Park and Rocky Mt Nat'l Forest. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
