I love looking at antiques. I think it is great to re-purpose things and find a new home for something. I was able to visit a local antique fair this weekend. The weather was beautiful, I even got a little sun on my shoulders. 
I really enjoyed strolling around and searching for a special find. I often go and buy nothing. This time I came home with...another stool. I have such a thing for stools and chairs. (see this post) Don't ask me why. I just find them so appealing. Especially kid sized chairs. 
The caught my eye. A tea set that I had as a child. I remember keeping it in the box and all. The one I owned had a few broken pieces, but this was in great condition. I wasn't willing to pay $45 for it though. The picture of it is enough to bring back the fond memories.
This time I found the bottom blue bench/stool. I have been hunting for one to finish my "stack". I think the only thing that would have made the antiquing more enjoyable would have been to have a few friends with me. Maybe next time. =)
