Vintage stores are pretty fabulous. You never know what you'll find. There's a store by my parents called Red Rooster Antiques and it's full of neat things. Here's what we found a few weeks ago.
Natalie has always been excited to look at records. She does have a record player. She was looking for The Beatles but didn't find any.
She also appreciates "old fashioned" furniture and totally goes with the couch.
There are also tons of creepy dolls. If you want to get some cheaper Halloween decor, go here.
I love Tudor history, so I thought this Barbie was cool, but it was too expensive:
If you need a giant Elvis, look no further:
This dollhouse reminded me of the one on Gilmore Girls. If you've never seen Gilmore Girls, you should. It's on Netflix.
Natalie has always loved Marilyn Monroe. She ended up buying a picture of her. She says what happened to Marilyn reminds her of what is happening to Britney Spears and hopes Britney can be helped.
We love Disney and thought this Mickey Mouse phone was neat:
Remember the scary dolls? Yup. They are everywhere. The bear might be haunted too.
Natalie did find some other things she liked.
She picked up this Squeaky Cat from the 60s:
This 1984 Michael Jackson doll:
This dress that said it was from the 1950s. Actually it's a nightgown, but she wears it as a dress and received so many compliments:
Plus this post card from 1913. She thought it was so cool and yes, there was a brief message on it. I couldn't help but wonder if post cards that we write will be in an antique store 100 years from now.
Do you like antique stores?
I do like them and great dress!

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting antique store! I have to admit I love looking around such places, they always seem to hold such gems!

ReplyDeleteI love all the antique items in this store except for the creepy dolls. Haha. I like the old postcards and music records.
ReplyDeleteThe items here are so cool, no wonder Natalie got so many compliment with the night gown, she looks so gorgeous in it.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch Gilmore Girls, since you mentioned it, I'll definitely go for the Mickey telephone if I was there.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter used to love exploring antique shops with me until she came across one too many old dolls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place!!! My mom loves going to places like this.
ReplyDeleteI've seen far too many scary movies. It might be an idea to stay away from the creepy dolls lol.

ReplyDeleteI adore antiquing. My daughter has a degree in fashion and she'd be all over that "dress" too.
ReplyDeleteSo many great finds! I wish we had a store like that close by. Your daughter really knows how to find a good piece of clothing and re-purpose it into something better.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love going to antique shops. You never know what you'll find. The vintage furniture is one of my favorite things to look for in antique shops.
ReplyDeleteI would love to shop there. I love antique shops!
ReplyDeleteI love to shop there someday. Not sure when but I like antique items. My son love Michel Jackson.
