The M29 M25 Antique Trail

***WARNING***

The following pictures

 may make you drool.

You may be green with envy.

You may hate me.

You might not even care.

Today's post is what I purchased on our

antique trail that my mom and I went on.

This trail goes all the way around 

the Thumb of Michigan.

Although I do not do the entire route,

I drive enough of it to matter.

It starts on M29 where I live and continues

all around the thumb on M25.

The route starts South of where we live,

so I always pick up my mom the night before.

This year we left at 8 in the morning.

Went out to breakfast and then the hunt was on.

We stopped along the way for lunch at A&W.

Stopped again ay my mom's for a potty break.

Continued North on our..er my journey.

Ended back into her town at 4:30 and went 

directly to the restaurant to eat supper. 

Ok here goes. 

First up this dough box

in Spanish Brown paint.

I so love the smaller size of this one.

Plus I can hide small stuff in it.

This is an 18th century candle shelf.

Found the perfect make do candle to go on it.

Finally this pine cabinet just had to come 

home with me.

This would not fit in my car,

so I paid for it and we came back and picked

it up with the van.

Currently it is here in our keeping room,

but will not stay.

Bob decided now we can remodel the last room

in our house...the laundry room.

This cabinet will be swapped for a different

one that will go in the new redo room.

This is why the towels are underneath.

This is the last wall I have for a particular

cabinet I have been on the hunt for 

in over 11 years.

Some day I will find it, and it will go here.

In other news,

We had a nice long weekend.

The weather was picture perfect.

Monday night it even got cool enough so we

opened the windows.

Grilled every night.

Brats, Hot Wings, Italian sausage,

and then ribs at Bob's cousin's house

yesterday afternoon.

He lives really close to us and was telling us

that he is seeing more rattlesnakes at his house.

This worries me because it was this time

of the year that we had a juvenile one

in our back yard last year...

I dont want to see anymore.

It was my first time every seeing one 

in my lifetime and I had nightmares for weeks.

Well have to get my butt to work.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend.

Antiques Trail Blessings To All!
