Over the past few months, we have enjoyed several trips. Over spring break, we returned to Oregon and had the chance to revisit some of our favorite stops from a trip we took in 2007. We also found some great new places.
On a rainy afternoon, we stopped in a small town and found a bakery. After enjoying a couple of cupcakes, we asked the staff about any good vintage shopping in the area. We were directed to a small town a few miles away.
There, we discovered a two-level stop with so many treasures! Some of my favorite finds are the sweet, primitive wooden wagon. It has moveable wheels and the BEST color. I am in love with the chippy-looking paint. This found a home on my studio table to hold gift certificates and coupons.
We found these two tin lunchboxes - one with a cowboy motif and the other with an American-Indian motif. We first found the lunchbox with the red lid and I was pretty sure that I wanted to buy it, but was stuck on the price. We decided to employ the "walk around" strategy to see if we still loved it after a little more shopping.
Then, we rounded a corner and found the brown lunchbox in another booth on the other side of the floor. It has the child's name written on the top! I was sold!
And, how could you leave one behind? These are the perfect addition to our kitchen.

I really like the western/cowboy lunch box. Good thing you didn't leave it behind.
Thanks, Lori! We couldn't leave it behind.
