Yesterday late afternoon I had a hankering to go to the USA. I have been looking at Drew Barrymore's new makeup line Flower, and really wanted to get a few pieces from it. Sadly Flower is not in Canada and I have no idea when it is coming here. Flower is sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores. So I called up my dad and we left for Plattsburgh, New York around five yesterday. It was such a fun mini-trip I guess you could call it. We shopped quite a bit but today when we left we took the more scenic route and stopped at this little antique shop that my dad remembered going to a couple of years ago. I love antique stores because you just never know what you are going to find and whatever you do find usually has so much history behind it. I came across two amazing items that I am dyeing to share!
The first item is this gorgeous hat box. I am not sure how old it is but I fell in love with it! It is a pretty decent size and it is cream coloured with tiny pink flowers on it. It also came with a white fur hat inside which to me looked very old. I am really excited to do some research about it. I paid $12.00 for this!
This was the first thing I spotted when I walked into the store. A tiny little gold/tan clutch. I think it is so gorgeous and I can't imagine the history behind it. It made me wonder the whole time I walked through the rest of the store, "I wonder who owned this purse, or what places they went to with this purse.."
I love antique shopping, you always find the best things! Next time you see an antique store I strongly urge you to stop in!
