Hello loverlies!!
I hope you had a great weekend!
I had a
FABULOUS
weekend!!
Why you ask?
Well because of these two beautiful ladies..
Laurie from Heaven's Walk and Debbie from The Lakehouse.
We met up in a near by town that hosts a large Flea Market on the last Sunday of the summer months.
It was a PERFECT day.
We joked about how we would find each other and Laurie told me that she would be the one holding the "CRASH" sign.....
She wasn't joking! :)
Of course we forget to take the photo of the sign, but it was funny!
"Crash" would be because of all the wonderful things that I listed in a post a while ago that I have backed into with my car. :)
Do you ever feel like you know someone the moment you meet?
That is how it felt, like we have been friends for a long time, yes, we talk online a lot but just having that feeling of knowing someone and feeling comfortable is a great feeling.
And the two of them have been friends for a long time, sisters separated at birth I believe I was told. :)
I loved it!
And can I just say that they are
gorgeous
and so sweet and so much fun to shop with and just be around.
And let me tell you,
these ladies know how to shop!!! :)
Laurie purchasing her grain sack runner.
(love the couch too)
Debbie scored a beautiful birdcage.
Laurie found this beautiful door. She was trying to decide if it would fit in her front door but after talking with hubby, they decided that it may not fit and not worth the risk.
We also tried talking her into wash tubs for either beverages or flowers (I should have taken a picture of one) but no go.
Don't worry there is next month!!
Mmmwwwwaaaaahahahhahhah!!!!!
Ok, if you have not tried fried pickles you are missing out my friends!!!
There are DELICIOUS!!!
Don't ya love how they set up our little table with Lauries pot and napkins?!
They are such bloggers!!! ;)
They both scored some really beautiful things so you have to go check out their stash when they post about it!
I picked up a few things, not too much since I am leaving on vacation soon, but I managed to score these little beauties!
A gorgeous aqua ladder that has the perfect distressing and worn look.
A kitchen scale that I have been looking for, only $10!
Beautiful aqua bottles that look like sea glass.
One of the bottles had some kind of iridescent material on it. I tried to take a photo below but it was hard to get it to sparkle.
I also picked up two little swans, I love swans.
There was a beautiful swan there that was made out of paper mache that looked like wood but it was $34!
Really?? $34!!!
Oh well, maybe next month.
My scale found a home on the kitchen counter.
mmmmmm, perfect colors!!
I found a home for the ladder as well but it is raining today and dark in the part of the kitchen that it is so I will have to show you another time.
The bottles found a spot in my bedroom on the the mantel, again too dark to get nice pictures but I did have fun with this picture.
The tag is one that Laurie made for me, they are so cute!
THANK YOU
SO
much Laurie and Debbie for a special day, I loved meeting you and I look forward to next month!!!!!
Well my friends, this is my last post for a couple weeks.
We are headed to Glen Lake and internet up there is not-so-much.
SO, I will see you in a bit and I hope you all have a wonderful time and
Happy 4th of July!!!!
I will miss you!!
p.s. I will be guest posting at 3 Sun Kissed Boys while I am out but I will let you know what day I will be there. :)

How wonderful it is to be able to meet up with bloggy friends!! I met up with a friend at a flea market not too long ago and it was the same for us - like we had been friends forever!!
Love the ladder and the scale...I'll be starting on my kitchen soon and will be looking for a scale like that too! :))
Have a wonderful vacation!!
Hello there, what is better than friends and shopping!Love your finds especially since they are in my favorite hues. Have a great time at the lake and relax for me. Cheers
Michelle, how fun was that!!! sounds super fun! I bet you ladies had a great time shopping. Looks like you came home with some great stuff. I'm glad you had fun. enjoy your vacation.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time dear friend!! Love the chippy blue ladder!!!

Must be such fun to meet up with bloggy friends! And i love the things you bought - turquoise always catches my eye, so pretty! Have a great time in vacation!
Oh how fun!! I'm only a teeny bit jealous that you got to meet some other bloggers! :-) But mostly I am thrilled for you that you got that chance and that you all found such great treasures. Enjoy your time away my friend! I hope and pray it is sweet and relaxing and full of memories!

Hi Michelle!
I wish I could have crashed your flea party! I just love Laurie "Heavens Walk" what a lady to be in company with, Of course Deb is a doll as well. It looks like you found some treasures, I too found a mini step ladder much like one for a child it is so petite! It is a natural finish and I was going to post it but I finished the wedding cake bird house and got to work at posting it.
Thank you dearest LADY "M" for your beautiful comment! and so getting where I come from when I create. My daughter said Mom save it for when I get married someday and put it on a post and hang one of your hand painted signs from the post that points with the word wedding and a bird perched on it. So I will keep the wedding cake and use it for bridal fairs and a loaner to friends who so want a garden euro chic French wedding!
Thank you for your visit, you are so pretty in your picture with the girls, I wish I had your bone straight hair, and my daughter would agree with me, we go through a big ordeal to straighten it !
See you soon my sweet friend.
xoxo

Michelle, sweetie, have a WONderful vacation, I'll miss you but will check out the guest post. It was fun reading about your delightful outing -- isn't it wonderful how we can meet such great people through blogging! Hugs, Anne
Hello Michelle! It sounds like you had such a wonderful day with your friends! They sound like lovely people! :) And you found some great treasures, too! I love that sweet ladder and of course, the vintage scale looks perfect against the bead board in your kitchen. And those little aqua bottles are amazing! :) The swans are lovely and I think they will fit into your home just right!
I hope you have a beautiful, safe vacation with your family! And I will be sure to catch your guest post, and watch for that date!

What a fun filled day! Thank you for sharing the story. Two new bloggers to add to my list :D
Fried pickles!? I'll believe it when I taste it ;) Love the ladder you found! The color is great.
love your finds and this story of connection! adoring the last image of the bottles--amazing!
have a wonderful vacation from blogland, my friend.
michele
I love all your finds, Michelle!! The ladder is just awesome. I had the pleasure to meet up with a blogger too (first one for me) here in Miami, Debbie of Love of the Sea and we had a great time. Wish you a wonderful vacation!!!
What a day! Sounds like a lot of fun! I love all your goodies! That ladder is my face. I think you could paint anything that color and I would probably buy it too :).
Love your finds - you display them so beautifully. The fried pickles are an interesting idea!
Beth x
Such lovely treasures and wonderful new friends.
Happy Holidays...see you when you get back! xoxo
Hi there, so sorry I missed you before you left on vacation to wish you a happy vacation! But I'm sure you'll have a happy one anyway :) Love your flea market finds - especially those aqua bottles! Michelle
You found some great treasures on your shopping adventure ... the best of which are two great friends. I have met up in person with some online friends, and it's always a great time. We already know that we have compatible interests, and the get-to-know-you time is considerably shortened since we all share so much about our selves online already.
My husband said it best the other day. He told me, "It's weird how you have so many sisters-separated-at-birth out there in cyberspace." I feel exactly that way!
Hi Dear Michelle
Apologies for being soooo late to wish you a happy [now belated] 4th July
I've been fighting of whooping cough.. what a pain!!! and very haphazard at blogging..
Well looks like you had a fabulous day out and what fun to meet up with blogging friends... you all look like you are full of sunshine!! and love those bargains you picked up.. especially the ladder and scales..
Have a lovely break and wonderful time at the lake.. look forward to seeing your shots when you get back.. ciao xxx Julie
Hi Meeeshell!
I'm sooo jealous of your outing and meeting with friends. Laurie is a sweetheart. Love all the finds you came home with. Hope you're having a great time away. I've been thinking about you a lot. Sure miss blogging with you.
Blessings to you my friend! Oh, and you girls are all adorable. Loved looking at the pics.
Hey Michelle! I was thinking of you at the ocean! I just picture you there :) Hope you are doing well!
Enjoy your day !
Regards from France...
Pierre
Oh how fun Michelle! Those two are two of the sweetest bloggers around! Hope you had a great 4th at the lake!~

I just found your blog through different blog links. I spent all night last night reading ALL of your posts. ( I couldn't sleep... :) I LOVE your blog. You have such an amazing style. I love the beach feel. It is what I want to change my home to. I also want to say that you are a very strong person for going through all that you have. I know that you and your family is being blessed and watched over. I look forward to reading more about your fun (and some not so fun-more character building) experiences and decorating!
