Southworks Antique Centre + News

Good morning lovelies,

On a rainy Easter Sunday, my parents and I took a trek to the Southworks Antique Centre in Cambridge, Ontario.  Now, I can usually can spend a solid amount of time at antique/vintage stores, but we spent at least 3 hours in this place….it’s GINORMOUS. 30,000 square feet to be exact.  In the end I didn’t buy anything for me but did pick up a couple of gifts. Here is a little summary of what we saw that I loved, liked, was intrigued by, and regretted not buying. (Excuse the horrible blackberry photos).

Loved:

I love this print, simple and elegant, but I couldn’t spend $150 on it…especially since i would probably want to re-frame it.

Made me smile:

These letter press stamps made me happy.  I’ll admit it – I’m a typeset flousy (sp?).

Cambridge-20130331-01081 Made me giggle:

How cute and hilarious are these pin cushions? I really should have a bought a couple.

Cambridge-20130331-01080Don’t need but want: 

I adore this lamp…great shape, crystal, and gold, oh my! And did I mention there was a pair of them?  But I just don’t need a set of lamps.

Cambridge-20130331-01078REALLY don’t need, but want:

This bedroom vanity and stool….it has a great shape and a ton of storage.  But I have NO place to put it and I likely won’t ever have a bedroom large enough to accommodate this gorgeous beast. Given the reasons above, it just didn’t seem like $750 that would be well spent.  Sigh, sigh, sigh.

Cambridge-20130331-01075REALLY regret not buying:

After this I can understand if you no longer have faith in my thrifting abilities.  Who would walk away from this brass and faux bamboo small side table/plant stand?  WHO???? This girl, apparently.  In fairness, it was near the beginning of the 30,000 sq. ft. trek and by the time I remembered it,  I was in line to pay, the store was closing, and I wasn’t quite sure where to find it again.

Ok, yes I’m making excuses. Did I mention it was $18. Yep. FML

Cambridge-20130331-01077Anyhow, based on my first experience, I definitely will be returning to this little piece of heaven on earth again soon.  I just hope that brass-bamboo lovely is still there.

As for the news…..Recreated is getting a major facelift!  The lovely Miss Brittany from Gallery No. 8 is redesigning my little online love nest as we speak.  I am thrilled at her ideas so far and am excited to share when it’s done. Stay tuned!

XO,
