Vintage Seattle

In Seattle, one thing I wanted to do was compare an antique store in the south to the west coast.  I had this insane itinerary for our trip that included a few mapped out.  My poor husband!  The first one was near the Space Needle.  We were going to walk, but there was an interstate in the way!  The store sucked.  The next antique store had shut down.  The next was kind of neat, but it was mostly furniture.  I should have gone where Erika kindly suggested, but hubby wasn't keen on the cab fare.  Then finally on our last afternoon, I hit the jackpot.  Unfortunately, every thing was marked up to retail, so I didn't buy anything.  It was really fun to look though!  Again....poor husband :)

I'm on the hunt for vintage coat hangers!  They would be great to display pieces of heirloom baby clothes on a nursery wall.

Old photographs in a cool piece with lots of little drawers, like my post office boxes!  My sweet friend Emily collects old family photos...from other people's families.  She feels sorry for them being abandoned in stores.  Hilarious.

I looooooove Bakelite.  It's a resin popular in the 50's typically made into colorful bracelets & other special trinkets.  I'll be adding a black bracelet & another in army green to my ESTY shop soon!

A little old radio.

Should have splurged on one of these little guys!

Neat tool box!  See the glove mold in the background?  I totally have one for sale....another shameless plug :)

I found the world's largest frog!
