What I've been up to and a note...

 

We had quite an eventful weekend for having nothing to do...

I spent a little bit of time going through the goodies from our container and arranging a few little things that I bought for myself along with a lot of laundering of vintage French linens.  One of my favorite things that I could not wait to get were the books that I bought from Sharon when we were staying at her house... love them!

We had dinner outside by the pool which was lovely, and the caprese was perfection.

 

I rearranged my mirror collage in the living room finally, adding some bigger pieces and a variety of shapes.

 A quick visit to the flea market and the farmers market on Sunday morning was in order, then a late lunch with my sisters and mom!

 

My last little note is about a comment that I received on a post about spelling.. I will say that I am not a wonderful speller and I will never win a spelling bee, I rely heavily on spell check and I look up anything I am in doubt on, that is my pre-comment here.  I appreciate a nice email to help me when I have made a mistake, and I do get them and I do make them, however, I do not appreciate a rude comment form an Anonymous commenter correcting me when I was already correct.  Please understand that many of us write blogs because we enjoy them and because we like to share with others, please don't waste anybody's time, yours or mine by being mean or rude.  That just ruins it for everyone because it makes the writer hesitant to be themselves, and it makes us edit comments heavily to keep your negativity to a minimum.  I will tell you the same thing I tell my kids BE NICE!  

There are so many wonderful readers out there and I do hope you will continue to comment as it lets me know you are still out there, please forgive me for my little rant!!  

Happy Monday! :)

 p.s. here are a couple of little pictures from our container that we unloaded last week.  We will be having a little sale and gathering to celebrate.  More to come this week on that!

Flea Market Sunday

 

We took some time this weekend to visit the flea market here in So. Cal.  This one is in Irvine at the Great Park and it is a perfect size for an easy Sunday morning.  We were not looking for anything special but we always seem to find something we cannot live without.  

 

I love old rope like this.. thick and well used.  I picked it up for a little display in my family room... love it!

 

 

I picked up a few small antlers to paint and mess around with.

 

This is my sis.. loved this vintage piece but a little over our budget this time.

 

Wanted this anchor piece..

 

This guy always has the best style.. Loved the mix!

 

We hit the farmers market afterwards for some sweet fresh fruit.

 

This is one of my favorite finds of the day.. I have been picking up amazing vintage pieces like this for something a little unique and fun to mix it up when I get dressed up.

 

We spent the rest of the day relaxing around the pool.. The afternoon light on the water is always something amazing.

Flea Market Sunday...

Sunday was a very very busy day!!  I hit the flea market in the morning only to find these sweet things!!  I am a sucker for LV and vintage pieces make my head spin a little!! She had a great selection and some Chanel pieces that made my heart skip a beat, unfortunately a little out of my budget! All in all it was a pretty good day- there were a few things on my wish list as always that I did not find but I got some fun pieces non the less.

 

 

It was gloomy all morning but that kept things a little more relaxed for the shopping.  I completely loved this space the lighting and furniture where fantastic!   

 

He hand makes the lights by adding in the mirror on each piece.  LOVE!

 

I bought a pair of these for inside our cabana.  I cannot wait for it to be complete so we can decorate and actually use it! 

 

I have completely fallen for these jeans from Gap that I picked up on Friday! 

 

After the flea market I stopped at the nursery quickly and fell in love with this hydrangea, I have a weakness for these too!

 

 These are two ladies that had to come home with me..  The little vintage bag is snakeskin and so so cute.
