Treasure Finds at Serendipity Antiques

One of my favorite things to do is to visit one of the  local antique shops here in Old Town Temecula- Serendipity Antiques. This sweet and charming shop houses a lot of my favorite vintage accessories- shabby chic and rustic furnishings, French enamel wares, lovely vintage linens, and vintage jewelries to name a few.

It was unfortunate that customers are not allowed to take pictures inside the shop but my favorite finds yesterday were the French enamel jugs or pitchers in minty-green color, blue, and rose pink in perfect condition. Though we want the weathered look, I cannot help but appreciate the rust-free items. There were other enamel wares like  French teapots, cups, and plates.

I was able to take pictures of the porch, though, and here are my favorite finds.

The Porch

Chippy-peely vintage cabinet with original hardware, a German sign, potting table, and wooden tool box

Vintage tool carrier

Old wooden crates and an old window with chicken wire

Hooks from salvaged materials

At the back of the shop is a beautiful garden shop called Jasmine's Garden. So nice to walk around in this lovely fall weather of California.

Succulents

Very cute idea

Charming birdhouse

Nice color contrast and spider-like succulent

Granny's Attic in Temecula

While others have gone places for the Labor Day week-end, I decided to stay home and finish my shabby chic project in my bedroom. I needed more plates to hang on an empty wall, so I braved the summer heat and visited Granny's Attic antique mall. 

Granny's Attic is my favorite place to go in Temecula because of their large selection of vintage and antique decor and furniture. The mall houses 200 shops in 30,000 square feet of merchandise .

This is my favorite booth in the mall for it's shabby chic items and occasionally authentic French treasures like  vintage enamel buckets and teapots.

So many goodies that I love...the tureens, vintage cabinet, and the lamp.

Despite the heat inside {the large fans did not do much for me}, I went home with my loot.

Pretty floral plates and limoges for display on my bedroom wall

So pretty....{and I can say that a hundred times}

An English sugar bowl with lovely floral design 

Granny's Attic is located at 28450 Felix Valdez, Temecula, CA 92590 across the river in Old Town Temecula.
