Vintage shopping and more!

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, I have a coupon code that you can use here on my blog or on Etsy for 25% off that ends tonight at midnight: SPRINGSALE11

Amy (my sister-in-law) and I had a blast in Canton on Friday! Amy was looking for a chandelier to hang from a tree for a photo shoot and I was looking for a funky eclectic necklace. We found what we were looking for and much more! We almost lost self control passing by the mini donut signs and walking through wafts of fresh funnel cakes in the air.


Below are a few of my favorite finds. I also found the cutest dress ever!

We pulled up in the VIP parking (the only way to go) and saw these adorable antique little cars. OMG! I don't have a boy, but I still want all three of them and the antique tractor too! Wouldn't they be so cute as photography props? They were priced a little over $200, which I thought was a great deal for such unique finds. I have to say Canton in general is priced very fairly IMO. I couldn't believe it. I was shocked to hear a lot of people negotiating pricing (negotiating = NOT my thing). I guess it is "smart" to negotiate, but all I can think about is all of the hard work that goes into each and every item in someone's booth, and I don't want to disrespect them.

I didn't catch the name of this shop, but this adorable dresser was only $225! I wished I had a way to get it home. I would love to store the girls' dress-up costumes in it!

Per the recommendation from a gal on facebook, I found Gypsy Pearl. This is where I found my funky necklace (I need to take a photo of it). They had tins full of the soldered charms that you could choose from to create your own necklace. I absolutely LOVE mine!

Rose Linens from Cuero had these beautiful roses displayed so creatively!

This impossible-to-miss ribbon shop didn't have a business card, but they have 4 booths spread out all over Canton full of preppy striped grosgrains and unique trims.

I hope you enjoyed this brief synopsis, and if you ever have an opportunity to go to Canton, you MUST! I highly recommend it!
