Fabulous vintage [junk] finds...

I love browsing through vintage, antique, junk (whatever you want to call them) shops. I always find the most amazing things... but they're not always a great deal. More often than not, they are overpriced (especially in Portland - what's up with that?!). I did find a few amazing deals over the past couple of weeks.

A set of ornate white teacups     (love!)
A vintage camera $10     (which I'm dying to try out)
A Snoopy lunchbox $5     (I think I'm going to start collecting them)
An old wooden box $5     (can't wait to use it for a photoshoot!)

What are your favorite junk shops?

  3. I have fallen hard for vintage fabrics. My new favorite thing are antique dish towels. I can't believe that I pay good money for second hand kitchen towels, but the older ones are so pretty. Plus my almost new kitchen has a more modern and streamlined design and I love throwing a vintage kitchen towel on the oven bar to add color and a little taste of "me". Let's go shopping sometime! That would be intense fun.
