Walk with me in Ottawa ~ winter indoor edition!!
Since we are in a deep freeze here in Ottawa, my outdoor time is spent running to the chickens 3 times a day and getting back inside super quickly. Partly because I am a wimp, and partly because it is -30° here right now......I also go outside to drive to my friend's flea market where I get to work a few days a week while they aren't open.
overseeing my work spot. I love this piece
It is inside a really big warehouse in the winter months and I spend the days here in constant motion climbing and walking. So.....here is my indoor winter edition of walk with me and you get to see some of the cool stuff vendors have going on in this upcycle/recycle/salvage/vintage piece of heaven!
one vendor's chill area. I love this spot for my break
I was on jewlery cleaning duty today. Pretty cool, right? Costume jewlery for days....
a real ship's wheel!
This was the only barbie cabinet I took pics of, but there are thousands of barbies on display there.
the older ones are really neat
beautifully ornate clock and some pocket watches
antique linens and old apocathary supplies
I love old glass. I want to take all of these home!!
so many beer steins!
these are beautiful walking sticks
this is a game table from Italy, you lift the top and there is backgammon, checkers and a felt card table surface inside. It is dreamy!
This little homey section is the best. I have my eye on literally every piece hahaha!
check out the cat cupboard.....I wonder how many shifts I can trade to get that beauty!!?!
just some stuff......
Oh! No biggie but I also came across a whale vertebrea.....
These I have been eyeing for a month or so, and today I got to bring them home with me as payment for my shift. The coolest thing about working there is it is basically barter. I will take that anyday.....helps both of us. Just look at these!!
So that is most of the pics I took today on my rounds. It would take a hundred posts to cover everything....it is an epic place. If anyone is interested in antiques, let me know what and I will search the place to find pics for you! There is some of everything you could think of there.
Thank you for reading, take care of you and yours❤
I know I shouldn't but I just LOVE those barbies omg!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some really beautiful ones!! I will send you random barbie pics now when I am working lol!!!
YAY!!!! Thank you <3 <3 <3 Get some close ups hahaha!!
Hehehe you just wait, I will!! You won't believe the collection she has!
Wow! That place is incredible and it looks like it's got everything. I want to look through those records!!!
It is the coolest! There is another vendor with a whole booth of vinyl I will get pics of his stuff. If you are looking for any albums let me know, I will check for you! Easy peasy to mail to you:)
You're the best :) thanks. I can't think of much off the top of my head but if I started looking through them I'd end up with half of the booth lol
I think my son is going to end up with lots too...he comes home with a few more every shift he works. #cantstopwontstop haha!
Beauty!!! I love it
