Retail Therapy

This weekend Greg was gone on a guy's hunting trip. So to try and take my mind off work I decided to shop till I dropped. Last weekend Greg and I went to a few thrift and/or antique consignment stores and I saw some flyers for 2 antique markets going on this Saturday in Anderson. I am so glad that I went they were so fun and there was a bunch of great stuff for good prices. I already can't wait until next years. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the ranches where the sales were located and like a city slicker I wore flip flops lol... I guess when they say antique barn sale it really is in a barn ;) he he. The atmosphere definitely helped relieve some stress.




This event was called The Antique barn sale, I went to this one first and founds a cute domed cupcake plate.





lol see how close we were to goats and horses... awesome!


The second ranch I went to was huge and beautiful! This event was called Roses and Rust-there was so many vendors and yummy tamales too ;)







cute displays!














Here is what I came home with... cupcake dome and cage plant thingy lol





This wicker cloche. Had to have it! Inside it are velvet pumpkins Claudia made, I working on making some too...we will see lol









I bought this lil cheese plate for $4. The bottom was marble so I spray painted it black.



I also, wanted to do a little decorating to the house because I hadn't quite gotten to that yet he he.. Since all the walls here are white and bland I wanted to add some color to all the neutrals we already have.




before...blah






Ta-da. I saw this idea in a magazine and fell in love. I like having two shower curtains to look more like it's framing the shower. I looked everywhere for a blue and white shower curtain...shopping here so sucks and on my second trip to Target I decided on this paisley print.





Love these shower hooks! I just alternated with the ones we already had so I only had to buy 1 box of these.





I got a cheap tray at Tuesday Morning and spray painted in black.




Looka t this cute candle holder from Tuesday morning they have an antique collection lol I am in love with the chicken wire!
