An Afternoon at Sally's

I did a little shopping!

While my kids were enjoying their last day at Summer Rec., I went to visit my friend SALLY.

I think she knew I was coming because I found some great pieces.


A bounty for sure.

I think my favorite is the large wooden box, it is going to be perfect for storing my outdoor cushions.





I love the iron legs on the basket.



Won't this make a great plant stand.


This sweater is for winter sewing projects, a pillow perhaps.


A key, well, good for just about anything.



I love all the little details on this cute end table, legs, handle, two tiers, just all of it.
I am thinking white with maybe some BLUE?
Yeah, I said blue.
I will not stop trying to like the color blue in my home.



This is my reading list for the weekend while we are at the beach.
I finally used a gift card from Amazon to order these three books.




That was my day.
How about you?

I am sharing my new bounty with Cindy from My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday, and Debra from Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.

  14. Alaina -

    I have decided to visit your neck of the woods. You NEVER have a bad day treasure hunting -- be it thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets! I love that plant stand.
    Enjoy these last weeks of summer.

    Your Friend,

    The new old basket is fab!!! and could you imagine the look on our grandmothers faces if we could have created this much beauty back then, and when they were hang drying there clothes on a line!!

    Keep inspiring all the beauty of WHITE & BLUE!
