Antique Shopping in Old Towne Orange...

Old Towne Orange is known as "The Antique Capital of California". My first stop was Country Road Antiques, one of the most popular antique shopping destinations in California!

This is one of the most beautiful and elegant vignettes I have ever come across...

These old architectural Capitals are amazing!

I love all the elegant lighting.


Aren't these pieces so beautiful?

Another amazing architectural piece.

This space was so charming!

Enjoying myself shopping...

An old French Mannequin.

I fell in love with this piece. It is part of an antique crib and just had such a charm about it!

A gorgeous Frame filled with a beautiful display of seashells.

My other favorite vignette...


This upholstered Headboard is so gorgeous.

Every where I looked I found more and more gorgeous items. Look at the beautiful Mirror and antique Side Chair!

A truly beautiful antique French settee...

I love the mix of the elegant French pieces and the rustic feel of the architectural salvage items.

A gorgeous antique Cabinet filled with lovely pillows and linens.

The above 9 pictures are from Loretta's space who also has an amazing space in the next antique store that I featured as well. You can also find more of her gorgeous items on her website: www.fullbloomcottage.com/

Here I am outside, enjoying their beautiful outdoor garden area.

Another pretty French Mannequin.


I love this buffet! The color, the appliques, everything about it...

A beautiful display of Mercury accessories.

An impressive grouping of Achitectural Salvage pieces.


I have ALWAYS wanted one of these antique daybeds that I am sitting on. Maybe one day!

Look at all the pretty Silver... I love collecting footed bowls, trays and compotes.


Another one of my favorite things to collect are ornate Picture Frames.

Lovely vintage Wicker.

What a pretty display!

I would have loved to buy this piece for my Daughter's bedroom.

An amazing Antique Scale.

I love this Urn...

The selection of Antique and Vintage Mirrors was so vast and so hard for me, I wanted all of them!

After visiting Country Road Antiques, I then went to my second favorite antique shop owned by Gregory, It's About Time Antiques Market. His selection of antiques is incredible.

This is such a gorgeous and elegant space. I wanted everything in it!!!
I have a soft spot for antique French Settee's. Their petite size and elegant curves are hard to resist...

What a gorgeous antique Armoire.

Behind this beautiful French Mirror are stacks of lovely Pillows.

A gorgeous antique Headboard and Footboard, along side more gorgeous items...

An incredible antique Italian Cabinet.

This upholstered stool was hard to pass up!

I love, love this French Cabinet!

This is a great piece to look at and appreciate all of the details that went in to antique furniture. The cane work is incredible and the carved details are exquisite.

I receive a lot of comments and e-mails from people, wanting me to show some of the items that I end up purchasing. My Birthday is next Saturday and usually I don't do much becuase I don't like to make a big deal about it, so today was the day that I celebrated it as far as going out and all I wanted to do was to go antique shopping.
I splurged on the pieces shown below...

I purchased a pair of these gorgeous antique French Demilune Tables.

Aren't they beautiful?

I purchased this pretty French Side Table from K.C. who is in booth 39 at It's About Time Antiques.

I love all the carved details throughout it.

And this last piece, I purchased at Country Road Antiques. I love the shape of the frame.
