Antiquing in the OC
One of my favorite places to go antiquing is the city of Orange because there are tons of shops all within walking distance and the selection is always great. My friend Amy and I hit up a few recently…here's a peek into our day!
We both loved this large metal bin to use for recyclables or firewood. The old bike instantly brought up conversation about the show American Pickers and Mike Wolfe's bike obsession.
Amy came prepared with caffeine in hand. She makes such gorgeous jewelry! We noticed carnival wheels and memorabilia seemed to be pretty popular with many of the dealers. And we were very smitten with the old boat on the mantle.
Stopping by Down Home Antiques was a must because I'm on the hunt for a primitive cabinet and aside from a trip to Texas or Brimfield…that is the place to find it. The shop had lots of fun Americana displays with barber shop poles and patriotic flags. It all looked so summery!
Oddly enough one of our favorite things were their old wood floors with metal patch repairs. Very cool don't you think? Strange that I hadn't noticed them before even though I've shopped there for years.
We had a great day and actually shopped our way right through lunch…meaning now we'll just have to plan another!
