{ Treasure Hunting: Latest Finds in Cincinnati and Baltimore }

My time off is almost always spent browsing flea markets, thrift stores, consignment shops, HomeGoods, etc. I love hunting for deals and I hate feeling like I'm missing out on something, so I feel it necessary to browse for treasures a LOT. Hunting for deals is really hit or miss so you have to frequent the stores often in order to strike gold. There's a consignment shop in Cincinnati called Legacies Consignment which I had been in about a year ago, but never returned to until recently. This time around, I found so many goodies that I didn't even get to photograph, but here's just a few of my favorite finds:

Chevron Curtains! I couldn't find a price tag unfortunately, but I was so surprised to see them in a consignment shop considering chevron is rather trendy.

I loved the lines of this nightstand, and it was under $100.

Neat wall clock, yes?

Gahhh. I LOVE this butler tray. I desperately want to decorate a bachelor pad for someone and place this in it as a bar area. So, so neat. I wish I could remember the exact price of this, but I'm 97% sure it was under $200.

I liked these plates for some fun color inspiration.

Brass lamp heaven?

Brass sconce heaven. $33.00, it looks like.

This amaze chair could be yours for $225. 

I loved this one too. $125. I'd definitely recover and *possibly* paint it (but maybe not). Great deal, though.

And then there was this lady. Whom I just met mere hours ago while browsing a consignment shop in Baltimore, MD (I'm here for a few days this week! It's where I grew up, incaseyadidn'tknow). She costs only $89.00 and if it was ANY OTHER WEEK I seriously would have snatched her up within seconds of spotting her, but unfortunately, I have to make the grown up decision to walk away due to things called bills, groceries, and gas. You have no idea how much it pains me. I would probably paint her some fun, bright color (or glossy white, or black?!) and recover in some type of punchy fabric. I'm going to stop talking about it before I get teary.

SO, what about you guys? Have you spotted any treasures lately? 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I'm going to try to post as regularly as possible while I'm away for a couple of days. Oh, ALSO, I'm about to go get my haircut at the salon my wonderful sister works at. I'm so excited. It's been an embarrassingly long time since I've gotten a cut. Maybe even a year and half. But don't tell anyone that, k?
