my treasure hunting philosophy

my pile of barn sale loot

Just thought I'd share some items from my treasure hunting hoard this past weekend.  I headed to one of my favorite go-to summertime country barn sales...the prices there are so great, and my car trunk was full to the brim.

On our property, hidden back in the woods, we have an old farm glass pit dating from the earlier part of this century. The first time my hubby showed it to me I could hardly contain my excitement, one look and I could just see all the treasures waiting to be found.

I was mostly stoked about all those old bottles! Gems!

Last week I went to a local barn sale, and this pretty little butter dish just jumped right out at me. Although I could tell it was custard glass I didn't know the maker or age, but just had to have it for only $5.
