I returned late Saturday from my whirlwind trip to Atlanta. So much fun and shopping crammed into a day and a half. First, my friend Becky and I met up with
Sissy from Blue Hydrangea on Friday morning at Scott's Antique Market. We shopped and talked and had a ball . . . like we had known each other for years. We ran into some other bloggers along the way, like
Jenny from My Favorite and My Best . . .
|
Me, Jenny and Sissy. Don't we look angelic in the sunbeams? |
|
Let me just say, that Sissy does not mess around. She is a woman on a mission and because of that determination found some great stuff. She has a great eye and went after the bargains with zest. I felt like I'd found a kindred spirit.

There were so many beautiful things, but I was so busy running my mouth that I forgot to snap photos of a lot of them. Here are the things I did manage to photograph . . .
|
Loved this mirrored Greek key coffee table. It was sold not long after we first saw it. |
|
|
|
Cool mid-century lucite chairs. |
|
Great rattan hanging egg chair. | |
|
|
I know I have an obsession with faux bamboo Chinoiserie chairs but these were nickel. Awesomeness. |
|
I so should have bought this pretty watercolor. Loved the colors and the brass frame. |
|
|
|
And the find of the day! Sissy got four of these fiberglass chairs for a steal. I'm sure she'll blog about it. Just had to share how cool these are. | | |
|
|
So, what did I buy at Scott's? A yard of this geometric maze/Greek key velvet fabric. I love it so.
Later that evening, we even got the opportunity to meet up for dinner at
JCT Kitchen. Yum. Such a fun night!

The next morning, we hit
IKEA.
Becky scored some loot. I just bought a couple of things. The main thing was this light fixture for Meg's room. It's too cute.
Unfortunately, the lucite chairs I wanted were out of stock. Boo. Maybe another time.
Then it was back to Nashville and reality. I hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did!
