Fall Goods

Here are some of our purchases we found over the late summer/fall time.  Above we found a set of childrens wooden deck chair which is super awesome for props purposes.  We got the pair for $32 from an antiques store in Beaverton.  The XYZ signs we got from Aurora Mills which is this awesome vintage/salvage shop in the small town of Aurora, OR.  The signs were $9 each.

We also got another childrens chair for props purposes or someday we may use it when we have kids for $10 from House of Vintage in Hawthorne.

This Ball glass jar full of buttons is one of my favorite finds.  We got it at a flea market in Aurora fro $5.  Usually the glass itself is already $8 and the buttons around $5, so my find was a steal.

Last, we got this glass decor piece from Anthropologie. I forgot how much it was, but it was on sale.

Aurora Mills

One of the main attractions in Aurora among other antique/vintage shops is this place called Aurora Mills.  They carry every thing you can imagine like vintage doors, window frames, letters, signs, glassware, etc...   I often hear of this place from local shop owners in Portland when I asked them where they got their decor pieces from.  So Aurora Mills definitely have the reputation of the go-to place for cool decor items if you have a shop.   Even the building itself is cool, that's why I took many pictures of it.   We ended up buying some vintage letter signs.

There were many cool signs that I wanted to buy.

Bottles!!!

Aurora

We had a chance to check out Aurora, a small city about 20 minutes south of Portland which has a killer reputation for hosting an awesome collection of antique and restoration shops.  We primarily went there also to check out the flea market they have.  I recommend those who are into old antiques to check out this town, especially if you're into vintage cameras and jars like me.  It's not a big town so don't expect anything too much but the 2 block main part of the city is where all the antique/vintage stores are located at.  There were many cool items and pieces that I really wanted to get.  Some shops are kind of pricy though but well worth checking out if you like these kind of stuff.
