Last weekend I enjoyed spending the day at the Liberty Antiques festival, and although it was rainy and very muddy, I came home with some awesome antique and vintage pieces at incredible deals.
An Empire Style mahogany and walnut plant stand/side table:
A 19th century signed and framed oil painting of a young girl feeding the chickens:
I found more chicken-related art for $5 a piece: a pair of two super cute framed Colonial scenes with chickens, painted on velvet. I don’t know why but sometimes I’m a sucker for 1960s Americana.
In addition to the treasures above, my husband BJ received some very cool graduation gifts for finishing his Ph.d., a few of which I couldn’t resist featuring them here on my blog:
Antique inkwell desk set:
WWII-era wooden ammunition storage box:
1960s vintage brief case/leather satchel:
I'm a little jealous of all of the loot. Too bad we don't live closer –we'd do some damage together. My favorite is the plant stand-turned-side table. There is something so perfect about a little and moveable side table, one that will fit anywhere.

What great finds, Megan! I love that you never know what you'll run across at Liberty. Was that the first time you've been?
