Sandy from The Olive and Rose and her friend Katy were looking for some new treasures for their stores
It was freezing cold in the morning while we were there
so we bundled up, shopped a little
and laughed A LOT!
We started the day off with Sandy and I laughing telling Katy about how we are crazy
and run around in circles when we shop.
Of course, I looked back at Sandy as we were walking across the street and talking
and I ran (yep, literally ) into Katy’s cart after she stopped just ahead of me
and the cups of coffee in her cart went flying… oh my…
Katy’s boots were covered in coffee (apologies Katy!!!)
It just wouldn’t be a regular shopping day with Sandy if there wasn’t something crazy going on!
😉
Well, here are some of the treasures we found that inspired a few photos…
Priceless.
loved it.
🙂
and we also loved this little bottle collection
She was one of my very first blog friends and she has a special place over here
I didn’t get a picture but am hoping that Gloria will share the ones she took!
hint hint 😉
We had tons of fun shopping and laughing and gathering up inspirations.
I can’t believe it’s just a few more months before my baby baby is heading to high school.
sniff…sniff.
and tomorrow…aside from celebrating Valentines Day…
my Sweetheart and I are doing something special…
we are getting started on working on a bathroom makeover so stay tuned-;)
it’s coming up in the next couple of weeks!
🙂
Sounds like a fun time! I love all of your images, I have almost the exact same bistro chair that you shared! Love it!
Have a wonderful week!
Great pics and it looks like it was such a fun day (even with the chilly air)! Enjoy your field trip!
What a fun day! Great finds too. Love the card catalog and blue suitcase!

I went yesterday too! I took 82 photos, LOL, but only posted a dozen or so on my blog!
Love Hardware John!!!
I saw Sandy and Rose and Jacque 🙂

I wonder if those rusty foot powder tins were leftover from the war? Were they from the soldier's ration care packages I am thinking?
What an excellent day of shopping.
Sorry about the spilled coffee,though – when that freezing something so warm & soothing is a sorry loss to be sure.
I meant Katy, not Rose 🙂
I need another cup of coffee!!
xoxo
Oooh, can't wait for the bathroom makeover. Great pics, looks like you had a lot of fun!
This looks like so much fun!
