My Antique Shopping List

So lately I have hit a rough patch in my antique collecting. I know I already have a good amount of antiques, but can you really blame me for wanting more. For now I am giving my wallet a break, but if I see any of the items on this list for a good deal, not even an army could stop me from buying them. Some of these are rare and expensive, others I just haven't gotten around to collect them. Hopefully I can get my hands on these soon, and when I do, I'll make sure to post about them.

1. A record player and more records

-so in my 5 tips on collecting old records post, I mentioned that I am collecting old records, while searching for the perfect record player. Sadly, I still haven't found one yet. And as for records, I can usually find a way to get them for cheap, so there is no harm in wanting more of those.

2. A typewriter 

- I know, I know, it's so typical writer of me to want a typewriter, but can you blame me when the are so freaking cool!? But I don't see me buying one in the near future, unless I get a really, really good deal on one.

3. Vintage gloves

- How can I feel like a classy lady from the 1950s without some more vintage gloves? These aren't generally that expensive, so I might be buying some more pairs soon.

4. Vintage purses

- I am ashamed to admit that I surprisingly do not own any vintage purses. I personally am not that big of a purse fan, as long as it fits my stuff that's usually enough for me. But I want to branch out a bit and buy maybe 1 or 2 vintage purses.

5. Vintage jewelry box 

- So if you want to know what my current jewelry situation is, just imagine a and explosion of pearls everywhere. This find would help me get a lot more organized.

6. Vintage magazines

- I don't really know why I want them, I just think they would be cool.

7. Vintage sweaters

- It is just really hard to find a vintage sweater in good condition, so I'm keeping my eyes open, because I need more to go with all my vintage skirts.

8. 1950s cat eye sunglasses

- I have looked everywhere and still haven't found a good pair. Witch really sucks because a pair of those could boost my summer style from a 5 to a 10 in three seconds flat

9. Little vintage boxes

- I don't really know how to describe them, but I see them in antique stores, and I think they would be really cute to store little random things in.

10. A vintage barbie doll

- I know it's sounds childish, but for some reason I have a weird fascination with barbie. My only problem is I want some of the first kinds I barbies ever made, and on eBay they range from $299-$1,000. So I'm hoping to find a seller who has no idea of its worth, and buy it for cheap.

11. Old camera

- The only thing with this one is that I like things to be in working condition, I want to actually use them insted of just sitting them on a shelf, so I would like to maybe find a working camera,wich might be a bit much to ask for.

12. Old radio

- Same thing with the camera, I want it to still work, so that may be hard to find

13. Gossip bench/telephone table

- The only thing holding me back from buying one of these is that I have no place to store it. :(

14. An old telephone

- So I have wanted one of these for the longest time, and I don't know why I haven't bought one yet. I just really want to feel like I was in 'Telephone Hour' from Bye Bye Birdie. :)

15. Chenille Bedspread

- I am so in love with these, if you follow me on Pinterest you would see a ton of chenille bedspread pins. I want one extremely bad, the only thing is I want one in good condition that isn't stained and that doesn't look worn. I could honestly marry a chenille breadspread-that is just how bad I want one.

16. Kidney shaped vanity with skirt
- I think it is safe to say that I am in love with these. Although I currnetly have a vanity from the 60s/70s, My heart cant help from leaping out of its chest everytime I see a picture of one on the interent.

That does not even scratch the surface of antique items I want to buy, but I thought I would just share some with you guys. When I do buy them, I will edit the post and mark that I had bought it, along with the link to the post about it. I might be making another one of these in the future too. Have a great day!
Love,
T
