ANTIQUE THERAPY

Last weekend, I took a little trip to Columbus, Ohio with three girlfriends.
We stopped and had BBQ for breakfast, yes, that's right BBQ for breakfast.
After a quick pit top at the Pottery Barn Outlet, we cruised on up the road another hour and hit the Scott's Antique Market in Columbus.  I read about it on-line, but have never been so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  Since I roped the other three into making the trip with me, I had high hopes.
We were all pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of the show.  

I came home with three treasures.

First up, this eight foot long bench.  Believe it or not, I have been searching for an eight foot long bench for this spot in my kitchen. The fact that it was already painted a blue/gray color was a bonus! 

This little nook has sat empty since we moved in.  

The bench is right at home here. 

My next find was this antique map of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky streets.  

I happened upon it early in the day so I stopped, admired and then kept walking. 

Later in the day, I stopped admired some more and kept walking.  

After dragging all three of my friends over to give an opinion, 

I stopped, opened my wallet and closed the deal.  

It was already framed and I hung it with three prints of landmarks in Germany 

that I picked up at a local antique store a few months ago.   

My last find was this vintage roll down map.

I have always thought these things are so cool and I was ecstatic to find one at a reasonable price. 

My husband and I have differing opinions on what is a reasonable price, but believe me, 

it was a reasonable price!

Of course finding these treasures made my day, but getting to spend time with
three girlfriends that share my passion for antiquing truly was just the kind of therapy I needed.
Can't wait to do it again!
