Hubby and I enjoyed our weekend to the fullest and hopefully you did too! It is always a treat to have an "extra" day. Although, our thoughts, prayers, and worries have been with the Gulf and the possibilities of what could happen and what did happen with the storms. Thank the Lord that what could have happened didn't happen and what did happen is less severe than projected.
We spent Saturday cleaning out the garage...getting rid of the last few boxes...I guess we are officially "all moved in"! We rewarded ourselves with a day full of fun on Sunday! We headed to a local flea market south of the city that we've been looking forward to trying. We arrived early hoping not to miss anything. We went with hopeful expectations and riding on a few recommendations...consensus: it was a good one! I was most excited to finally find a spot for vintage treasures seeing as the last few we tried were...h.o.r.r.i.b.l.e. I had about decided that "flea market" was a different definition here in PA than what I know it to be in TX.
We found a few favorites...silver trays and compotes that I have already put to good use and found "the" spot for them! BUT...the most treasured of all finds at any flea market we have ever shopped was found at this one...I must say I don't have a more favorite antiquing find...ever...
it has lovely legs...{with wheels!}...
...great bones and details...it
is
a
beautiful antique wooden cradle{ that won't be used, but just admired for a while }
and is in fabulous condition...it rocks and even locks for the "no rocking" option.
all it needed was a little tlc from hubby!On our way back into town we stopped by the new outlet that just opened...it had some wonderful stores that will surely be nice to have close. I was excited to take hubby to the sweet spot Krystal and I found when she was here...Sarris...a cute old fashioned ice cream parlor tucked back in a little town! We split a so very tasty - hit the spot strawberry milkshake...with 2 cherries! yummm! He loved it!
We topped off the day with a little more sun...a pool party with friends! A great day with just hubby, a special find, and a sweet treat!{ Labor Day }
good food
silly friends

Why did you buy a cradle???!!! You know I freak out about my friends having kids. I can't think about it...yes, I know I have issues. It is nice though, but when I'm over at your house, don't you dare show it to me! ;-)
What a fun thing to find!! I am jealous!!
Oh my goodness! That cradle is so wonderful!! That is the best find ever. Can you image that any family would ever let that go? What a nice family heirloom for you, though. I still have our cradle in the attic. I had a hard time letting the baby things go, so DH told me to just put the cradle in the attic. :)
I didn't see the cradle the first time i read this post but oh so cute! How fun will it be to pass down to your kids kids!
