a little oklahoma antiquing ...........

Meet my friend Tiffany...........you would think that we have known each other forever but not really........early spring at the Whatever House at Terri Brush's art camp I met this gal....immediately it felt like we have known each other for years....she has just that kind of personality that when you meet someone you know they are genuine, honest, thoughtful, always positive, super super talented and someone you want to hang around with........anyway she moved from Washington to Oklahoma about 4-5 years ago and bought a huge ranch outside of Oklahoma City in the small town of Wellston........ I have lived in Oklahoma for over 40 years and really don't go exploring in other small towns but this girl let me tell you she does and knows the best of the best!  She can find the best deals and scouts out like no other one I know and just knows what she is doing......so yesterday I headed up to Wellston to spend the day with her and to see her home and studio ......... we were going to play in her studio for a while, go get lunch and then do a little shopping........well it ended up eating lunch at this really cute cafe in Meeker called the Farmer's Daughters Cafe and antiqued shopped the rest of the afternoon, next time we will create in her fun studio and I will have photos of it another time........anyway getting back to the antique shopping their are literally the most amazing antique stores all around that area and the people running them are so so friendly.....and she has become friends with all of them.....that is just the way she is..... personable, friendly and the sweetest ever! Here are a few photos below of where we went and one of my treasures found!!!!!

This particular store had a restaurant in the front but had to close during the pandemic, so she has turned it into a classroom and event room......it is so so cool....but someone may turn it back into a restaurant but for now it is being used for other uses.......The owner is Sandy and she is a sweetheart ...........can't wait to go back up!

I could go on and on about all of these shops .......it definitely makes you wonder about how many hidden treasures are out there to be found if you just go exploring.....thank You Tiffany for the adventure.......

below is a photo of one of my purchases

You know how much I love big velvet family albums......well this one is the cat daddy.........it is in almost perfect condition. The velvet isn't worn, the photo on the front isn't damaged like most of them, the hinge works and on top of all that it is on a stand and has a hidden drawer........

Every page inside has incredible photos.....these are just a few below

 

So this is what happened on Friday and I enjoyed every minute.......hoping to go back soon to explore some more in those small Oklahoma towns........treasures to be found I am sure!

 

Once again Thank You Tiffany for the fun fun day.........

Love this friendship you have in Tiffany, and the adventures you do together! Can't wait to see what more fun you will have together! When my husband and I lived in Edmond, we would take the kids on the weekends and go antiquing to all the small towns, eat out at the small diners in small towns, make sweet memories! Love those times together, and I still have some awesome antiques I found along the way!

What a GREAT find! Love to do this with my daughter in love! We have the best time. We decided , we need a warehouse for all the "stuff" we want to get!
