I. Love. Antique stores. I could spend hours and hours in thrift shops rummaging through random crap that no one would want. Why? Because I love that rush you get when you stumble upon something amazing. Recently, I spent an afternoon in Inman Park’s At the Collective and Poncey Highland’s Highland Row Antiques (both local favorites of mine). Sometimes these places are a swing and a miss, but I totally lucked out this trip.

First, I found this hand mirror:

I decided that it would look perfect in the womens’ bathroom at our venue. This got me on a bathroom-shopping spree.

Next, I found this tray:

I decided I could use this tray to hold cotton balls, bobby pins, anything else that girls might need to touch up in the bathroom.

What?! I’ll use it for something! I don’t know what for, but you never know! Besides, it was less that $1.

I thought this box would be useful to store more discreet bathroom items, like tampons.

Then, I decided that the mens’ needed a box as well. But for manly things…like…breath mints? Tweezers? I’ll figure out the details later

Of course, I couldn’t let the mens’ bathroom have just one item in it. So, I found this to match:

And finally, I saved the best for last. Corgi pictured to show actual size:

You’ll have to wait and see what we use that mailbox for!

Maybe these details are trivial, but I think they’re pretty likely to strike up a conversation or two! What kinds of antique or thrift shop treasures have you discovered?
