My mother, sister and myself spent Saturday together visiting the funky junk flea market and all the antique stores along Century Avenue in Grand Rapids, MI.
As some of you already noticed with my recent blog header change, I came home with a new doll wardrobe.
Don't you just love basket decals on the drawer and wardrobe doors?
Other treasures from last Saturday include the doll outfits, dollhouse bookcase and a few Christmas putz houses just waiting to be flipped for the holiday season.
I'm in the process of cleaning my craft room and tucking away my latest treasures.
Last weekend, my mother also surprised me with one of her childhood toys...a precious teeter totter with the sweetest bunny decal.

I love the dolly wardrobe with the decals that you found. And the teeter-totter that was your moms... oh how wonderful!!
How lovely!! Great finds Kim! :) Sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday! xo Holly
THE TEETER TOTTER! Why doesn't my mom have one of those to gift to me! Am sure you will find some great use for it.
Perfect girls outing for you...
A visit with you reminds me of my Tiny Tears Doll and my Shirley Temple dolls I have tucked away. Plus some of Suzie's dolls too.
Love the little teeter totter thingy your mom gave you. I look forward to seeing what you'll create!
Looking forward to it! I love that doll furniture! And I especially love decals.
Get out!! Your Mom had that teeter totter when she was little? That's so special! It'll be very cool on the wall. I'm so glad you had a good day of treasure hunting!

Your craft room has always made me envious but I am excited to tell you that I am finally working on my own special space! It is slow going but I am excited~ just scored on a lighted hutch which I hope to transform. Maybe in a year...LOL

The wardrobe goes perfectly in your craft room. It was meant to be. Can't wait to see what the teeter totter looks like on the wall. Should be cute!

Oh my gosh! I had that exact same doll wardrobe, I think even the decals were the same. I repainted it and gave it to my SIL. Now I wish I didn't!
So many beautiful treasures in this post, what finds and that teeter totter! The new blog header is darling - I look forward to more photos on how everything is coming together, it is like stepping back in time.
Oh, you have just great taste for choosing things! Love the tetter-totter. Three cheers for you Mom, a "saver"!
Can't wait to see your tour. Stay cool, it's just miserable here. Pam
I love all your treasures...can't wait to see a tour of your special room!
Love your little vignette! I had noticed the dolly wardrobe, and was wondering whether it was new! I spent a lot of time antiquing with my mom on our trip as well- she's not too interested in antiques, but she's always happy to go along with me! Can't wait to see a new tour!
Such adorable finds! That dresser!
What fun!
I'd LOVE to go to antique stores with you! What fun!
