Antique Sunday 2011

Sunday morning my Mom and I headed off to the small town of Coburg, Oregon just north of Eugene to attend the Coburg Antique Show.  As it was to be another hot day, we arrived at 7:30am.

With over three hundred booths, there was something for everyone!
Doorknobs...

Costume Jewelry...

French Country pieces...

Cookie-cutters...

Darling Doggies! 
(Oh, right - these guys were not for sale!)

Trunks and Furniture...
  
Salt and Pepper Shakers...

Wash Tubs and Watering Cans...

As a gardener, I liked the watering cans, and thought about who might have used them when new...what was their garden like?  But they were priced from $20-$45 based on their condition, and the "fanciness" of the watering rose...a bit dear for my pocketbook.   

As a stitcher, these needle-books called to me, and I ended up buying three or four of them.  Again to me, they beg the question, who owned them originally, and how where they used. 
A lovely morning in Coburg, OR.  We strolled around for about 2 1/2 hours - had a good time, and beat the heat.
