treasure finds: monticello

If you are anything like me then as much as you like purchasing old stuff, you like looking at it even more!  I could spend all day walking around looking at things.  Old, vintage, retro, antique, junk.. whatever you want to call it- put it in front of my face and I will be a happy girl!  Recently I visited Monticello Antiques which is an antique mall set up in booth style.  This means that each booth is owned my someone else and they decorate and sell what they please.  This is my favorite kind of set up because each booth is different and its treasure finds galore!



Don't forget to follow along on instagram as I explore our new city, try to remember places I want to visit and somehow find my way back home each day!  Oh, if you know of some must see spots in Portland that I haven't checked out yet, please share. xo

  6. I love a good thrift hunt. Have you ever been to an estate sale? In Portland that's where you can find the best finds.

  8. I love getting lost at vintage/thrift stores! Such a great way to spend some time. There are some great spots in my beachside town that are great to explore. If you're ever in Southern California you should check out the Long Beach Antique Flea Market, you can spend the whole day there.
    Love Always, BreAnne
