weekend finds...

this weekend was a blast.

i went spend the weekend with

some awesome ladies

at the Lazy Lucy retreat house.

it's a little house

where you can go 

and scrap/craft and

 just have some time away.

we didn't do very much scrapping.

or at least, not as much as we could have.

we did laugh a lot.

we ate a lot.

we shopped a lot.

and we may have done

a few karaoke performances.

i laughed so hard.

my cheeks are sore.

i am definitely looking forward

to doing it again.

like i said, we did some shopping.

we went to a few flea markets

and visited my favorite store on earth.

as usual, i had no problems

finding things to buy.

it's so bad but you can't pass up

stuff that you love. 

it's not like you can find these

things just anywhere.

you have to swipe them up

and then worry about finding them a home :)

that's what i tell shane every time

 i come home with something.

here's a look at some of what i found:

i picked up the house made of rulers.

when i went to get button (my pug) 

from my mom's,

she had the bubble frame of flowers

that she got for me on Friday.

my mom's the best.

i paired them together on one

of the only tiny pieces of empty

wall we have left.

who wouldn't want a ginormous spool of thread?

right.

picked up the owl and bird.

they are perfect for fall.

my fave cloth napkins work perfectly

in this napkin holder.

i love little finds like this.

i thought these little birds were the cutest.

this big toolbox is so cool.

i want to use it to display things.

it would be perfect on a mantle.

for now, it has a home in my scrap room.

i love love love treasure hunting.

i get so excited to come home and find

a place to put everything.

it seems we have no where to put it all

but i always find a place.

i fell in love with this table.

i wanted to get it so bad but i knew

it wouldn't work as a coffee table

because our couch is so long.

i'm sure it would be awesome just about

anywhere but we just don't have the room.

maybe it will still be there once we get a house.

fingers crossed.

hope all of you had an awesome weekend.

i have a super busy week ahead of me.

i am excited because i have the day off tomorrow

and i am going visit my old students

and spend some time with my girls!

definitely looking forward to that.

ash.
