This, was not one of those trips. We managed to get very lucky and found the most desired and largest item on our list (a club-style chair for the living room) towards the beginning of the day, which meant we knew exactly how much room was left in the car for bringing home other treasures. It is always fun to see people stop and watch us as we carefully maneuver our treasures into our Pontiac Vibe...it isn't a large vehicle, but as we are fond of saying "it may be small, but we know exactly how big it is." Here is what we brought home...
And yes, our beautiful cat Annie thinks that we bought it just for her sleeping enjoyment! Ah well, whatever keeps her happy...as long as she shares.
Here is a glimpse of some items that did not make it home with us, but were sufficiently drooled over...
Our circa 1912 bride just barely didn't come home with us. We found her at the end of the day and by then had already spent our budget for the event..and I was trying to be good. So instead, I just snapped this quick picture and will look for her again in July. Doubtful she'll still be there, but you never know at Brimfield.
After our weekend trip, we had a nice week of good weather and managed to enjoy some of it with a friend of ours. It was our first real dinner guest at our new place. We made veggie kabobs with homemade bbq sauce, grilled pineapple, fresh tomatillo salsa, and potatoes with onions and sage...and awesome vegan apple cinnamon cupcakes for dessert! We didn't have our table project finished yet (which you will all get to see eventually) so we ate out on the back deck and used the deck box as a table. Of course it was dressed up with some vintage linens from my Aunt and our awesome serving dishes.
Yay for friends and a good week. Here's hoping this coming week is just as great.
Have you found any treasures lately? Had to pass something up because you were "being good?" Or just had a friend over to enjoy a nice Spring evening?
