FINDERS KEEPERS: A very unique and creative concept!

FINDERS KEEPERS!

What a great name!

There is a little town in western North Carolina, Hendersonville, with a very unique store called Finders Keepers.
Finders Keepers sells repurposed, upcycled home decor and accessories. They have a very unique concept. The owners go out and scour the area for different and unusual items that can be repainted, redone or repurposed for sale. They take their time and their store is only open for one weekend every few months. 
They just finished a sale in April, had one last October, and will likely not have another sale until this October.
Believe me, it is worth waiting for!!
Check it out!

You can find them easily on Facebook, and they also have a blog.
I've posted a link to their blog below, which has wonderful pictures from their last sale of tons of unique furniture and home decor items. There is even a coffeepot lamp!!
