Treasure Hunt

Call us weird, strange, even crazy, but Doug and I absolutely love going to flea markets and antique malls. It's one of the reasons I married him :) not only is he willing to go with me, but he actually enjoys them as much as I do.  I'm not sure where my love for antiques comes from, I think it's the thrill of finding objects that have so much history.  I guess in a way it's the same reason that I am drawn to photography.  Much like the 3-dimensional objects I find, I am creating an artifact that will forever serve as a reminder of a special moment in time.  Since Doug and I just recently bought our first home together, we were so excited to be able to search for some great treasures that we could furnish it with!  We had such a great afternoon together and discovered some cool finds.  Here are a few photos that I was able to snap on our treasure hunt :)

Doug and I have always had the dream of creating a line of something together that we could
possibly sell.....so we found these antique keys that we plan to make into jewelry.

I found him!!!!

Love these tables :)

Ooo shiny... wish I could buy the the whole case!

Just a little creepy, but I couldn't help myself I love photographing brides :)

This find gave me a chill...you might not be able to read the label on these but they were had cuffs
that read "Property Of Georgetown County Plantation Police."  A very sad piece of history.

Doug's find!  Although we had to dump out a cigar box full of miss-matched jewelry but he was happy.

This is my buddy Roxy, we met her as we were looking around her owner's booth.  They put the

sofa out to sell but Roxy thought it was just for her :)

One of the antique pins that we bought in hopes to create some amazing jewelry!

Doug found this awesome 1940's fan

And finally this was our last purchase, an old wooden frame that I am going
to paint and turn into a mirror...Raisin just happened to be in the right place at
the right time I swear :)
