Personal Day Out of the Past

As the result of an uneasy evening and a night of sleeplessness, I decided to opt for a Personal Day from work. To my pleasure, Out Of The Past was recommended to me. I walked in only knowing it was packed from floor to ceiling of unorganized aged treasures. I didn't expect to be entering my own land of Antique Bliss! 


Naturally I scooped out the Button Collection. It was small, but contained some impressive works. 


Hot Air Balloon TV Tray. 

Floor to Ceiling. Shelf to Shelf. This Glory Land was in fact Packed!





This is an extremely limited Wicked Witch of the West Motion Sensative Statue. This happens to be 1 of 500 produced for the Film's 50th anniversary. This piece will be mine someday. 


As a girl raised during the 90s these little guys will always hold a place in my heart. 



Disney Soft Spot




Piles. 




She had some great Wizard of Oz pieces I have never seen before. The packaging was honestly in great condition. I plan to seek out more of these specific collections. 


As a connoisseur of music, the owner has quite the impressive record and music paraphernalia assortment. 



My favorite shot.


Last but not least... beads, buttons and trim!




The perfect use of my Personal Day.

Hot Air Balloon Earrings.

Bird's Eye View Earrings by Anthropologie! A must have for a Balloon Lover like myself!

Vintage Handcrafted Buttons.

Tarina Tarantino.

One of my favorite jewelry designers. Her store in NYC was one of my favorites to visit on my lunch breaks. I have one very similar to this. I'll post pictures of a few of my personal pieces some time.

More Clown Heads.

This is a vintage clown bank I found at an estate sale in East Dallas a couple of years ago. He is one of my most treasured pieces. There was a period of a few weeks when I was afraid he had been lost in the mail during my move. I am so glad he made it to me safely. 

The flip side is a sad face... I prefer his sunny side!

Eeek!

Toy Joy has the best signage.
