it's one of those places where they have a zillion different vendor booths so there is something for everyone! everything there is priced really fairly and they will always haggle with you. i love a good haggle! we love to stop in and look around on the weekends whenever we get a chance.
this past weekend we found some amazing things there, including finn's fun vintage toys that he loves so much, and beautiful 40's era framed farm art for 50% off! billy also got inspired by a retro drafting desk we saw there and it reminded him there was something similar in his parents barn... bingo! free office furniture! love when that happens.
i never have trouble finding things at milkhouse.
actually, i pretty much never have trouble finding things anywhere i shop. hehe.
i have my eye on this amazing 60's quilt there that would be perfect for outside picnics and as a playmat for finn. we didn't get it this last time, but i did make out with these two amazing little finds:
a beautiful vintage charm bracelet:
i LOVE this.
the charms include a little engagement ring, an i love you charm, a baby bassinet, a mini diary, a little bell and others! it fits me so perfectly... and even the charms are appropriate!
i love feeling like i'm wearing something with a history to it that once must have been very dear to someone.
the little bell also makes this amazing little jingle when i walk and billy says it sounds like i'm calling fairies. :)
oh and it was $15. love that more!
oh and it was $15. love that more!
and these make-your-heart-flutter red leather cowboy boots!
here is an unedited pic so you can see how amazing the red is in real life:
googly woogly giggity goo.
they make my knees weak.
i couldn't find a brand on them, but they're real leather and made in brazil.
and they were $17! i'll take it! i think they look late 70's.
the milkhouse is so fun and inspiring that i think i'll try and post some of our finds there more often! they have the most unique things.
speaking of wonderful finds, wednesdays are farmers market days around here, and finn and i are super excited to pick up this week's produce today! last week we got a mint plant and fresh strawberries that i used in these delish mojitos:
nothin like a little tuesday night cocktail!
wow, antique stores and farmers markets, i guess i'm really keepin' things country around here. oh wait, the field mice in my kitchen do that for me already. :)

Sarah would love those boots. Do you ever see any of those old milk containers there? They would look cool on your porch.
