New Finds and A New Friend

Sunday I went to one of my favorite flea markets at the Port of Entry Square.

It is not the largest by far, but I have been going to this flea market for at least 20 years.

And

It has sentimental value.

It is where my first shop was located and I have such good memories of my old shop.

I found some great treasures.

The best one of all is a fellow blogger who lives in the same town as I do.

Lynne from Wonderfully Made.

At first I was excited to see a new vendor at the flea market, and one who has great treasures.

Oh, I would have liked to take home more than what I did.

A LOT!

There were two great framed maps that would have looked wonderful in my boy's room

BUT I think they are going with the Star Wars theme.

Then I started talking to Lynne and found out she is a blogger and lives local to me.

Here is some of my treasures.

I found the cutest pair of vintage cowboy curtains.

I will make my boys some pillows for their bunk beds.

Cute little ironstone pitchers and a simple silver cup.

These are a few of the treasures I acquired from Lynne.

A simple blue striped cotton shower curtain that will be made into pillows.

A twin coverlet also from Lynne's booth.

They make the best slipcovers, so soft and such texture.

A new quilt to add to my collection.

My good friend Nancy always has beautiful quilts.

Like I said, this is the summer of accepting blue for me.

A darling little birdhouse for my feathered friends.

An amazing aqua bench that has already found a home in my downstairs bathroom.

The little shelf is great for holding extra towels and magazines.

a simple zinc sap bucket that I plan to embellish with some graphics.

I like the height, it will work perfect for my white hydrangeas. 

  

I also found the amazing black frame and a little white bench at Lynne's booth.

I wasn't kidding when I told her how excited I was that she was at the flea market.

She has a great eye.

I am really wishing I had bought one of the maps, maybe she will be at the next flea market in August.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

A Lucky Find

Sometimes as bloggers we find new blogs that make us laugh, are visual eye candy, and if we are lucky provide inspiration.  I was lucky enough to have a blog find me!  I had a new follower leave me nice comment, so like normal I went to visit her blog because I always try to respond when someone leaves me a comment.  I was more than pleasantly rewarded by her blog.  Some of my favorite blogs are ones that are done by creative women who provide inspiration for those who come to visit.  Take some time to visit Debbie at her blog Cottage and Cabin or at her website Cottage and Cabin Interiors.

She has some beautiful items that she and her husband make and sell.

I know I am just in love with this bench aren't you? 

Do you not just love those ruffles?

or this one? 

Oh and there is more. 

You just have to visit her to see.

She makes slipcovers too!

I have to say this is one of my favorites, go here to see more.

And pillows,

curtains and drapes.

So if you are in need of a beautiful slipcover, pillow, curtains, drapes or something else that strikes your fancy and you are in her Alabama area, I would definitely contact Debbie.  Not only does she work in her own workshop, Debbie is also located at Old South Antique Mall and bless her, she even has an esty shop.

Let me tell you, if it wouldn't cost so much for me to ship my wing back chairs, she would be making me a pair of slipcovers in WHITE for sure!

Thank you for coming to visit. 

Have you found someone to inspire you lately?
