Walk with me in Ottawa ~ winter indoor edition!!

in #walkwithme7 years ago

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!

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!

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❤
