Art & Antique Hunter

Junk"ing", Flea Market"ing", Treasure hunt"ing", Antiqu"ing"...

no matter what you call it, for me it's where I find inspiration!

How about some European eye candy? Gorgeous finds from Art & Antique Hunter's booth at Marburger Farms Antique Show.

More exquisite candlesticks, mirrors, statues, and
 furniture pieces.

Leftover Antiques

Inspiration comes by studying how others use their creativity to style shelves, and tabletops as seen here by Leftover Antiques.

 My "decorating mojo" gets going.

Seeing others' creativity and styling inspires me, plus I enjoy the beauty in old junk treasured antiques. 

I'm sharing with you some of my favorite antique dealer booths from my recent trip to Marburger Farms Antique Show,

which is going on now through Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013.

Inner Pieces

This huge pediment caught my eye and I really wanted to take it home, but it was already sold. Early bird gets the pediment worm!

 Lisa, at Inner Pieces had such beautiful French pieces and her lamps/sconces were gorgeous.

Leftover Antiques

 These pumpkins nestled in hay in these containers looked so lovely. Texas branches don't often change colors, but these green leaves work wonderfully. Who wouldn't love that French sign?

 More styling ideas from the gorgeous booth Leftover Antiques.

I loved them so much, that I even took the 19 mile trek up the road to visit their store near Brenham, TX. I was not disappointed.

Perspective

This booth from Perspective was another absolute favorite.

My pics aren't great, because I was shuffling a frame, bags, purse, my big camera and a huge iced tea. 

Plus, there were lots of admirers all around. 

Perspective

There were so many lovelies to catch your eye, that I had to walk back in and out a few times to see it all. Adore these lamps!

And the sheep head, and the frames, and the mirror, and.... 

Perspective

the rocking horse, brass instruments, pheasant, dress form, metal locker, stick horse, etc. etc. etc.

Sweet Pea Home

Here's another booth that took my breath away. 

Sweet Pea Home has a way of putting things together 

that add such loveliness.

Sweet Pea Home

I love the touches of greenery, the antique floral picture, and those dried hops on the shelf are stunning. 

Sweet Pea Home

I wish I had a place for this locker cabinet. 

The patina is to die for! Shelley at Sweet Pea Home also used to blog, so you can check out her website here, where you can still find many of her inspirational creations and style.

Texas Junk Sisters

Look at that amazing clock in the Texas Junk Sisters booth! 

There is a ton of treasure in that thar picture.

Another shot of the Sisters booth. Anyone need a mantle? or frames? or animal heads or bodies?? Loved their style.

After 2 huge glasses of Iced Tea, an awesome sandwich from Legal Tender...this gal was plum tuckered out!

I think us Texans know how to put on an Antique Show!

If you can't make the trip to see for yourself, 

I hope you found inspiration here!! 

I'll show you what goodies I found for myself and where they all found a home in an upcoming post, so stay tuned.
