Vintage Village: An Hour of Buying Nothing

Yesterday my hubby had some things to do, so I decided to take a trip to Vintage Village. One of the shops there sells Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint, so I wanted to see if they had the new color, Farmhouse White. Have you seen it yet? It is really a nice shade of white, and I want to use some to refinish an old dresser that I bought a couple of years ago (one of two that is still sitting in the garage waiting for some love. Oops.).

 Don't you just love the way she did this hutch?

So, the vendor did not yet have the paint, but they assured me that it is on order, so I will keep on checking. Its too cold to paint down in the garage right now anyway.

I did walk around for a little while and take some quick photos, but not a lot because it was kind of cold. Even inside the buildings it is cold, as most of them are not heated.

This was an adorable new building

that had some things for sale inside.

Pardon the long morning shadows,

but I couldn't resist a photo...

...and look how cute the top is.

Wouldn't this make a great garden shed?...

This is another building,

which has been there for awhile...

I've written about Vintage Village before,

but can never resist taking more photos,

especially when the sky looks as pretty as this...

I almost wanted to buy this lovely old garden 

statue, 

but didn't want to have to lift it!

I did love this little farm animal metal

garden ornament...

...and of course, as always, their great stash of

vintage doors...

But, surprising myself, I bought nothing,

and decided to save the gift certificate that Mr. Perch

gave me for Christmas.

I will stick to the plan and hold out for 

Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in

Farmhouse White!!!
