I didn't take a picture of the first store I went to, but it was called Great Finds and was in Fenelon Falls. I have always wanted to go in there and it was so worth it! This is what I bought:
My marble-bottomed cheese dome - I think I am going to do a cute little "vignette" inside - maybe with a dollhouse-sized Eames chair or something!
And my best find yet!! This is a gorgeous 3' x 1.5' rug that is all woven (kind of hard to tell from the picture). I love the colours and have already planned my front entryway in "the new house" around it. So pumped!
And now for some pics of the second antique store I went to over the weekend. I have always passed this antique barn on the way to the cottage, but have never gone in. Well, this time, I just had to stop!
It is literally an old barn on the side of the road - so charming!
It was jam-packed with fun stuff!
A box full of decorative old tins - they would look great lined up on a kitchen counter filled with odds and ends
A chair with amazing potential!
A cool blue and gold bird cage
And a really cool chair that would look perfect on my patio!
Alas, I didn't buy anything there, but I came home to a surprise! My Mom dropped off some gifts for me! She went to a closing/garage sale at an old framing store and got me these:
Two teacups and three old apothecary bottles and....
A stack of 17 antique frames!! I may have to share these with my sisters and aunt, but for now, they are at my house! Bahahaha...
Have any of you found any cool antique items lately?? I would love to see them!

The rug you bought is gorgeous! The colors are so much fun! Oh and your mom definitely has an eye for antiques, the apothecary bottles are dreamy and those frames will be of much use, for sure! xo
