Guess how much giveaway challenge? You will see as you scroll further down. I may do more of these throughout the year if I find worthy objects. Stroll along with me as we go on an antique shopping expedition for Christmas presents, and for the big reveal on the giveaway.
I think I just found my new favorite place! I don’t go to antique shops much anymore because I’m used to yard sale prices, but I love to browse and get ideas.
Only problem is, I often forget to actually look for presents. I get caught up in what I like! But I tried to be good. At the end, I will show you what I bought.
For now, see what caught my eye….
I LOVE this!
Shaped like a large book on a podium was this interesting rustic wooden piece~
There’s a little drawer at the bottom.
Looks like a desk accessory or a secretary of sorts?
Isn’t this lamp just the coolest?? The caps have been flattened and glued to the shade…pretty quirky, but I like it!
Looks like this might be fairly simple to do….
Itty bitty train case about 10″ square. Priced at $17. I LOVE vintage train cases and snap them up when the price is right!
Get a load of this retro TV! And it was HEAVY! Wouldn’t this be a great conversation piece???
The seller was calling this a “Nice wooden shelf.” But we know better. It’s an old wooden telephone shelf with a place for a phone book. Priced at $35.
Love this too…maybe I shoulda bought it….
Since I’m a rustic girl, I would love to have this in my house, but hate to cut a hole in the wall.
And when I saw THIS….
And when I saw THIS…oh my!
It was hand to heart….
It was “OHHHH!”
It was a trembling sigh…
(while hubby is rolling his eyes)
It was a memory from 1964…
IT WAS THE BEATLES!!!!
and if you’re just dying to see my other Beatles’ post, go here The Hottest Yard Sale Buy.
As much as I’d love to have coffee every morning with John, Paul, George, and Ringo, I reluctantly passed.
I couldn’t help it….ouch…I laughed when the mall owner told me how much…..
and now the….
Guess How Much Giveaway Challenge
SOOO…..thought I’d present you all with the first ever Guess How Much Giveaway Challenge….
THE FIRST PERSON TO GUESS CORRECTLY THE PRICE OF THE MUG….
…WINS a $10 Chic-Fil-A gift card!
(The person coming closest in price wins. Guesses accepted until Saturday, December 17 at 10pm)
Now, you want to see what I bought??? Of COURSE you do!
For a dear friend who loves hummingbirds~
For another friend who loves vintage junk like I do…
But I had to do a little modification on it…didn’t like the bare wood on the bottom. That needed to be fixed, so I matched the colors with a blend of 3 Oops paint colors I had. I think it looks pretty good!
See if this doesn’t look better…..
Last 2 items I bought for me to sell in my Etsy shop…..
Love this rustic oak recipe box with dove-tailed joints….
This immediately caught my eye from across the aisle…..
It is quite large and plays music too. Paint or not?
That’s it for antiquing! Don’t forget to guess the price on the Beatles’ mug!!
By the way, I’m having a 20% off sale in my entire Etsy shop through Dec. 20. http://vintagesouthernpicks.etsy.com

Hi Florence,
I am going to guess $57.00 on the Beatles Mug.
Thank you Lynn, for participating! You’ll find out the results in the next post!
Florence, I don’t blame you for getting sidetracked, I would too in an antique mall. I’m like you though, I rarely shop at brick and mortar places because I’m used to the sweet deals I get at garage sales. Anyway, lots of good stuff it looks like. I like what you bought and I’m sure the gift recipients will too. My guess on the mug is $120.
Thanks for your guess Keri! Big reveal in next post!
My guess is $18.00
Thank you Cindy! Appreciate your participation!
My guess is 100.00. Love the Beatles!
Oh, a kindred spirit! Thank you Brenda! Holding all guesses until the end of the week.
I like train cases too.
I’m guessing $ 75.00 on the Beatles mug.
Thanks for your comment Kim! I’m holding all guesses till the end of the week.
Love the phone “booth” that you passed on. Also the treasures you bought. Definitely paint the jewelry box, IMHO. I’m $24 on the mug.
Thanks for the fun guessing game, can’t wait for the reveal!
Thank you Colleen! Appreciate your participating!
I doubt the mug is vintage…and their photos can be reproduced on mugs and etc…I guess $30
That’s true, and it may not be vintage, but I fell in love! The early period of the Beatles is the era I love most.
How bout $25? That would be all that I would pay. I am cheap.
You & me both Meegan!
Well, I have no idea about prices, but I think that looks pretty neat so I will say $40…which is 10x what I would pay for a mug…even a Beatles one! 😉
Haha Kim, you & me both. I too am not in the habit of buying an expensive mug no matter who’s on it!
Florence it’s the Beatles! It has to be at least $120.00 No wonder you passed it up. Just turn on your radio to an oldies station and you can have coffee with them for free!
Haha Mary! I like your reasoning. Or maybe just play some of my old records & reminisce. My favorite thing to do is watch them on youtube when I need a Beatles fix. Or I could go over to my Pinterest board, “Gettin’ My Beatles’ Fix” & look at their pictures.
Florence, I’ve got to get into this game. I loved the Beatles and I would say anything original from that time period is worth plenty. My guess is $85.
Thanks for your vote Carol. I love just about anything Beatles.
Florence, I really like that first item, the antique hook on the curved chest front. It’s really cool, I’d love to hang that on my wall. The hummingbird is also another favorite of mine, and your friend will absolutely love it. I love looking around antique stores it’s so much fun, and sometimes you find the oddest things. But the Beatles mug is the coolest! I have no idea what it would be worse, but I’m going to say $41. I can’t wait to see how much it truly was I don’t know if I’m getting way too high or way too low! With memorabilia you never know, do you?
Yes, I loved that antique hook too…just my style. Yes, when I gave the hummingbird to the recipient, she loved it. Yes, you’re a little low on the Beatles’ mug, but $41 is way more than I would pay anyway, even for them!
