Let's Go Antiquing!

I'm always ready to go antiquing especially when I can find someone who enjoys it as much as I do! Yesterday my friend Janet and I went to Laurel, MS. to visit the Lauren Rodgers Museum of Art. Before we went to the museum, we went to Collins to the Antique Galleria. Collins is about 60 miles south of Jackson, and 30 miles north of Hattiesburg. The store was very well maintained and the merchandise was artfully displayed. I saw lots of things that caught my eye!

This little table with a shelf would have looked great on my porch, but it was already sold! Don't know the price.

I love this old oak chest. Cooper will be needing something eventually...and is was $300 and in great condition.

Here is another mahogony chest that would look great in our guest bedroom. It was $400 and in excellent condition.
I seriously considered this little oak chest to replace an end table in our living room. It was $125.

I really loved this oil painting on canvas....the frame was beautiful! I am not sure if it is a good buy or not. It was 30% off of $275. I will probably keep looking for something that is more of a bargain!
Here's another cabinet I liked. It is in the same finish as my kitchen cabinets. It would look great in my breakfast area. I think I can get something a little cheaper though and paint it myself. It was $750.

This little tea pot set with plates and cups was so cute. It would have looked great with my china! I didn't price it!
Here's Janet's reflection in an oak hall tree. She is modeling a little mink hat....she bought it to wear to an event with her teacher sorority.
You may be wondering what I bought...nothing of great value...just some things for my porch, etc. The little red birdhouse is for my porch, the vase to put flowers in for a gift, and the sign for my garden.Also, I found this cute little set of Mary Engelbreit's Season books for $2 each. There is one for each season, and they are full of ideas for all the holidays as well as thoughts!There is so much more to see than these pics show! There is a little resturant in the store too...we had chicken salad, fruit, and fried green tomatoes! We liked the store so much that we are planning another trip there next week!
