Road Trip #3

On Saturday, Isabel and I drove up to Centralia, WA to meet up with Timi and her friend Donna for a little girl time and antique shopping. We made it up there in no time and found Timi and Donna at "Catty Wampus" a new antique mall that had lots of great stuff, but unfortunately, pretty high prices. At least I thought so. I had been on a road trip to Centralia by myself several years ago so it was fun to see what had changed.

I have to say, it is really hard for me to shop antique malls sometimes as I am really cheap and used to thrift store/garage sale prices. It was still fun to look at stuff to get ideas and inspiration.

This place was called "Centralia Perk." It was a coffee shop/antique shop. I loved all the cool chandeliers and the tin ceiling was to die for. I remembered it from my last visit and was so happy to see that it was still here.

Here are the girls in front of one of the thrift stores we managed to find.

I think the best part of the day, besides spending time together was the delicious lunch we had at the Centralia Antique Mall. I wish I had taken a picture of it as it was so pretty. Tomato Basil Soup and Sandwich with Turkey, Avocado, Bacon and Lettuce. Yummy!

We did find several antique shops including a neat architectural salvage shop that had lots of cool stuff. Isabel found some neat things there to bring home. You can check it out here.

Finally it was time to drop Timi and Donna off at the train station (they had rode down from Seattle) and head home. It was a really fun day and we are already talking about going back up there to check out the shops in Timi's town of Snohomish.

Here's a picture of the loot I scored on our trip.

Floral hat box, rose covered hat, metal display stand, two lacy slips, bag of lace and misc. beads, green pottery planter, baby spoon, rhinestone buckle, two rhinestone pins, belt buckle and denim jacket with furry inside.


Here's a close up of the little stuff.

And Isabel was sweet enough to share some of this yummy vintage wallpaper with me. I just love it!

Still working on projects for farm chicks. Hopefully I'll be able to show a few completed ones on my next post.

Happy Monday!
