I was on a mission last Friday. I was checking out the antique shops earlier in the week and saw a few items I was very interested in but decided at that moment to pass them by. You KNOW you need them when you can't stop thinking about them and start getting anxiety about whether or not somebody else may have scooped your future little lovelies up. It was about 15 minutes before my 2 year old was due for a nap and even sooner before a melt down could happen but I knew I needed to go back. When I walked into the Antique Asylum the woman said, "I knew you were on a mission!" as I places this adorable toy sewing machine and tiny little iron down on the counter.
Then it was off to Heirlooms, Etc to get this amazing antique milk can. The colors, I think, are amazing and will photograph really well. When I asked my husband what he thought of my new prop he said, "what, that old piece of junk?"....I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I can't wait to set up shoots when these may be appropriate!
Stephanie, Just came across your blog which mentions my shop Antique Asylum, thank you! My husband chuckled as I read the part about "that old piece of junk" because it sounds just like him!
I browsed around and found that your blog is wonderful and your photos are amazing! Keep up the great work!
Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
