My sister has an old Swedish clock that was my grandparents. I'll have to get a picture from her. She told me, recently, that many countries are getting picky about having their antiques and art being sent out of the country. In Sweden you can't ship stuff out unless you were born there. Well it turns out that my parents lived in Sweden when my sister was born. They planned on staying in Sweden but my dad had to leave ...well that is another story... So my smart sister has bought amazing tables and stuff. My mom and her had shipped some of the family heirlooms many years ago.Kat's Purrfect Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581855234416469744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-10579572672671098212011-09-14T17:07:07.352-04:002011-09-14T17:07:07.352-04:00How fun that you liked our booth - we are fans of ...How fun that you liked our booth - we are fans of Miss Mustard Seed too! We bring tons of vintage feedsacks and other great from Germany stuff like the blueish old cabinet (wine or coffee bar) in the blog from day 2. It's always good to see what creative people are doing with them. Miss Mustard Seed's sells at Lucketts Store and we're 10 minutes from there in Leesburg, VA.

The top of the mantle will be on the passenger side of the car and the bottom "legs" will be on the driver's side! Oh, and, looking in from the back of the car, the mantle may have to rest diagonally--with the top at the roof, and the legs on the floor! But I bet it would fit!<br />I hope you guys have a fantastic day tomorrow!<br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-61890382802224664352011-09-12T22:44:41.434-04:002011-09-12T22:44:41.434-04:00One of these days I will get there!

My husband and I went a few years ago, and boy did we have a blast. We took a cargo trailer and came home with some really neat old cupboards and such. Good luck on your purple hunting; I love it too! You were wearing me out thinking about those boots! We also found some great buys at the temporary fields, those that are only open on Wed. or Thurs. Hope you find your items.countrycharismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-18709079986207240092011-09-12T22:03:32.432-04:002011-09-12T22:03:32.432-04:00I loved reading about your expedition on Day One! ...I loved reading about your expedition on Day One!

Rows and rows and rows of beautiful vintage and antique goodies. I now live in Southern Nevada where I feel they are fairly "antique challenged".

I don't have tole platters, a couple I guess, but I would love to have some really pretty ones. <br />I LOVED the footbath and though I couldn't afford it, I actually thought it was a good deal based on others I've seen online. I haven't found one for less than $950, that is a true antique.
