Antiquing in Essex

Antique nautical flags.

I crossed one majorly fun thing off my bucket list this week~ antiquing in Essex, MA.  It has always been a joy to check into the many random shops throughout Essex, you just never know what you will find.

Here’s my haul for the day…plus an awesome drying rack made locally.

Love the unique lid on the blue mason jar.

Could the 2 quart blue tinted mason jar be any more awesome?! The shop keeper said it was the second she had sold and they just went on the shelf that morning.  I’m hoping to use it for granola or flowers. Either way I love it.

I’m a bit of a sucker for antique kitchen goods.  The rolling pin was such a find.  I love that the ends don’t roll, it just matches up better to how I roll out my crusts.

This is not an excursion to make with kids.  There are even signs in some of the stores discouraging kids.  “Kids are allowed if they act like adults.”  I’m not sure any kids qualified to be in this store!

What is your favorite antique find?
