Check out this camera. I have no idea what kind it is or how much it was. I just knew I had to take a picture of it though.
Doesn't this look like a cozy little corner
Can you imagine typing your family Christmas letter on this thing?
This was my favorite. Just look at this old Singer sewing machine. It doesn't have all the stitches on it that mine does but I would love to have this
Wait some of that stuff looked familiar, does that make me an antique.I remember my dad shooting through a similar camera.I enjoy looking over yesterdays treasures myself.
ReplyDeleteAntique shops rock!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Not my cup of tea. I like the new stuff. I used most of the stuff you're showing here. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day Ann. My very best to Duke. :)
My Dad and Mom had that sewing machine and typewriter (and Dad was Still using it before he passed)...but Wow! Bet that camera took some cool shots!
ReplyDeletehughugs
What a nifty place! Nice tour. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI love antiques. Well, at least looking at them. I really, really love those quilts!!
ReplyDeleteI am more or less taking the day off from blogging. that would be day and night. I just baked some cookies, took a hot shower and now I am trying to find a movie to watch.
I am exhausted after fighting with my blog and my PC this week. I can't wait to see my blog either.
I accidentally deleted the email that had the link to it. But, I remember what it looked like and it is going to be much different....stream lined and simple.
It was so hard to edit out all of my junk but I removed as much as I could.
LJ may remove more tomorrow when she gets it up!!
Now back to you and Volant. This has been just wonderful. It looks so marvelous and your pictures are great!!
See you tomorrow! Happy Night!!
Jackie:-)
I have enjoyed seeing and hearing about your visit to Volant. That old camera looks a little familiar but the typewriter, now that is old. So interesting to see all that. What fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun week end. Hugs to Duke.
I grew up with parents who were obsessed with antiques and shopping for them. It was a curse and a blessing but I love that sewing machine. Reminds me of the one my grandmother had, she was an upholsterer. They certainly don't make things that sturdy anymore.
ReplyDeletewhen I saw the title I thought you were blogging about the old Grey Goat... Me.. :)
ReplyDeleteNot antiques fan myself (sometimes I think Sandee and I were separated at birth) but I did grow up with that sewing machine. It was still floating around the family 20 years ago, I wonder where it is now. As a matter of fact the table is almost identical. I actually used it once or twice but sewing was/is just not my thing...
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat old typewriter. I bet it is really heavy! Looks like you had fun looking at all those old antiques. It's always fun to look!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Ann!
xo Catherine
I love browsing Antique shops. The typewriter is something else! I also remember that one!:)
ReplyDeleteBetter. Still not good, but better. (A really good mommy would have included her favorite puppy in the editing process, and had pictures to prove it.)
ReplyDeleteEverything you pictured there is so unique. That little corner would make the perfect place for relaxing during the weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Ann. Thanks for the tour. I love anything Vintage. We actually have a sewing machine that looks exactly like that one. It came from my wife's great grandmother.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
I adore going through antique stores! That camera looks similar to some old ones that hubby has. And the sewing machine is a version of one in my studio room too! Love the eagle decal on that one! Thanks for sharing, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteAntique is beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteNice Pictures - Willy recognizes some of them.10-4 Willy
ReplyDeleteI love stuff like this. It reminds me of all those hours I spent in my grandparents' homes.
ReplyDeleteLove antique stores too!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Anna
My goodness, I love the sewing machine, how beautiful! I wish I had been able to go along, that would have been a lot of fun I bet!
ReplyDeleteout on the prairie I think I may be an antique since I've seen some stuff in shops that I grew up with :)
ReplyDeleteSallie I think so too
Sandee, Oh I like new stuff too but I still like all the old stuff as well
Donna my grandmother had a similar machine.
sharkbytes, it was
shinade I look more than I buy :) hope all is well with the blog now
marg I always love looking at the old stuff
theresa I got bit by the antique bug thanks to a sister in law who adores them
livintheblues lol you're too funny
grace, that machine reminds me a lot of the one my grandmother had. You never know maybe you and Sandee are related :)
catherine it does look like it weighs a ton and yes I did have fun
Jean me too
fishhawk I never claimed to be a really good mommy :)
josep that little corner almost reminds me of my grandmother's house
Russ how cool, and does your wife ever use the machine?
donna oh me too, I have fun browsing.
junezach yes they sure are
willy thank you
bossy betty yep, same here. It's funny when you go to an antique shop and see something you had around the house when you were growing up
Anna they are fun to browse through
tanyia it is isn't it. I have to wonder what it was like to sew with one of those things.
I don't like antique shops because of the smell. If it is the least bit musty, I can't go in. Isn't that weird???
ReplyDeleteI love antique shopping, especially for jewelry. You took some great pictures. That old sewing machine brings back some memories! Take care, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteAnn, I LOVE that old typewriter. When I was a kid, I had these big dreams (delusions) of being a famous author, spending my day plucking away at the keys of an old typewriter!
ReplyDeleteLin, not weird at all, that musty smell is awful
ReplyDeleteAngela I'm not a big jewelry wearer but I like looking at the old stuff just the same.
Funky Folky I think we were all full of dreams and delusions at one time...lol
lots of beauty here. I like the sink with the curtain, we hd one like that when i was a child. daddy types him sermons on a typewrite very much like this one, a little different. lots of familar things here.
ReplyDeleteSandra, sometimes I think it's very cool the things you can find in an antique store and other times I think it's sad that so many of them are familiar :)
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow!!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I adore antique and second hand shops. They have so much history and so many treasures to explore. Love that typewriter :)
ReplyDeleteBeebeebabs :)
ReplyDeletepoetic shutterbug I couldn't agree with you more.
Antique Shops are wonderful. Hey I have a old sewing machine like that in my shed! I don't think I would want to sew on that or type on the type writer but what fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!!! I coulod spend days there! I really want those train cars. Oh, and the sewing machine, we have one just like it w/ the cabinet it came in.
ReplyDeleteb boys mom yes they are. You should see how much you can get for the sewing machine, you might be sitting on a little gold mine :)
ReplyDeletetahtimbo the train cars were cool. I have another shot showing more of them. How cool that you have one of those sewing machines. Does it still work?
i love antique shops.. i could spend hours... or maybe dayssssssssssssssss in them :) lovely place in Volant. Thanks for sharing with us Ann.
