After a rather cold week, yesterday was bright and warm. We decided to drive down to Downtown Pomona, CA, one of our favorite places in Southern California. Our first stop was at Ken’s Olden Oddities, a little Antique Shop in the city of La Verne, CA, where we purchased this gorgeous Vintage Mosaic Candle Holder from the 1960’s; a Little Girl & Cat Statue from the 1970’s as well as a set of Vintage Ridgid Wrench.

Smoketree Junction Antiques

By EPEngineerSeptember 15, 20121 min read592 views

The second joyful part of our day was visiting the Smoketree Junction Antique Stores in Pinon Hills, CA (also referred to us by Angie). It’s a beautiful and friendly place to shop for antiques, shabby chic, garden as well as upcycling furniture.

I found this gorgeous antique Ladies Vintage Dress Form Bust “Gleneagles 1900′s Lady Golf Tournament” still in its original condition (from my extensive research on the Internet). If this beauty was made in 1900 then it’s 112 years old. How cool is this? My husband on the other hand found a vintage red glass oil lamp, which was converted to an electric lamp. He will post pictures and tell you all about it himself in due time. Don’t hesitate to stop by when you’re in town.

A few years ago, we found a Vintage Horse Grooming Curry Comb Brush (from the 1950’s) in the basement of our storage shed. Back then, we had no idea as of what it was except that it was really old, until this afternoon at the antique store when we spotted a similar tool and inquired about it. This is just one of the many finds we unveiled around our home.

When it comes to beverages and to wine precisely; I am a light non-alcoholic wine drinker. I love wine glasses. There is something about them that I can quite grasp. Perhaps is the elegance, the feel and the shape of the glass? These glasses would definitely make for a lively evening.

1940's Vintage Bell Wine Goblets. — *1940’s Vintage Bell Wine Goblets.*

I was so delighted to find a pair of Vintage Metal Plant Stand, which I restored. I started by washing it, removing the rusted areas with a wire brush and smoothing it out with a sandpaper. I primed first and spray painted it (to seal the metal surface and prevent future rusting). They are gorgeous and I can’t wait to use them.

The gorgeous set of wall hanging Greek Male and Female Head Sculptures was purchased from Linda Marie’s Enchanted Treasures.

I am grateful tonight, for these lovely finds.

“Pomona Antique Mart” Shop

I truly appreciate lovelies and my husband is really thoughtful of me when it comes to my heart desires. I get happy over little things which spark a desire in me to create, decorate and donate.

Another favorite of mine is this gorgeous Cherub Wall Shelf Sconce my husband purchased for me, while visiting the Antique Rows in Downtown Pomona, CA.

Another steal from the Antique Row was this Set of 3 Clear Crystal Pillar Candlestick Holder which I love to pieces.

For great and unique Vintage finds, I highly recommend you visit Pomona’s Antiques Row shops and allow yourself at least a good half a day to do so. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly and the shop owners are always happy to tell the story behind each piece of furniture.
