Treasure Hunts in PA

Boy do I love stuff, not just any stuff but stuff that adds a certain character to your home or yard. Stuff that when displayed correctly can add a unique, cozy, inviting atmosphere to your home. My search for the perfect "stuff" took us to Adamstown and Kutztown, PA where the Antique Extravaganza was taking place this weekend. Below are some photos from the Extravaganza.

Outside one of the vendors at the Adamstown Shupp's Grove Market. This innovative seller took pieces that would otherwise be consider junk and re-purposed them in creative ways. She had birdhouses made out of wooden barrels with metal oil funnels as roofs. Old turn leg columns used as posts for American flags.

Piles of hidden treasures lined up outside one of the antique stores in Adamstown. You could pretty much find anything and nothing you needed here.

A very shabby chic display at a vendor in Kutztown's Renninger's Market. Her palette of soft neutrals caught my eye from a mile away. I wanted everything this woman had for sale.

All in all my search found me a few metal buckets, a handful of masonry jars, a tiny blue wooden wagon, 4 blue shutters and endless ideas. A successful trip, a few regrets of item's I passed up or couldn't afford, but there's always next time (which hopefully will come sooner rather then later) to find more junk.
