I-40 Antique Mall

My mom came to visit me this weekend and we did one of our favorite things to do together: antiquing!!

We went to a new antique mall that I just found out about, and man was it full of good stuff.

My mom bought me this awesome vintage camera. I have no clue what time period it is from, but I have always wanted some old cameras to decorate with and now I have started the collection!

It goes great with the old rotary phone that our lakehouse next door neighbors gave me when I was a little kid. Good thing my mom never throws anything away (and owns goo gone to remove the stickers I put on this forever ago), or this phone probably wouldn't still be around.


Next "vintage" item I'll be adding to the collection. My great-grandmother's typewriter. My mom actually wrote her masters thesis on it. She's only giving it to me on the condition that I won't sell it (as if I would). I guess not being a pack rat like she is is a stike against me. Can't wait to see what kind of vintage items I find to decorate with next?
