Saturday, my mama and I went to Greenwood, MO to go antiquing. Last year, we spent a day treasure hunting for her birthday, and this year we decided to do the same. It was a beautiful day, and although we didn't find a ton of stuff to bring home, we really enjoyed ourselves!
A pretty old bicycle outside one of the shops.
We found a darling little tea room at one of the Antique shops to have lunch. We enjoyed yummy panini sandwiches and salad with homemade raspberry vinaigrette and the most delicious strawberries. I think we guzzled about 10 glasses of ice tea each. {We must have been parched from all the shopping.}
My pretty mama, the birthday girl.
We shared a piece of Coconut Macaroon pie for dessert...omg....so delicious! It was warm and buttery, and yes, my mouth is watering just looking at it!
It was such a wonderful day, and I think it needs to happen more than once a year!
The two of us with our bounty. {recognize this?}
I love my new old Bingo card. And yes, I specifically picked this one cause it had a 22 on it.
I also found some letterpress letters. I got: O, N, &, E, N, A, I, and S...still need two J's, a D and a V! If you know where I can find these, let me know! ;)
Have you been treasure hunting lately? Find anything awesome?
oh, and p.s. Don't forget to go vote for my College Fund Piggy Bank...pretty please?
I went antiquing a couple of weeks ago and found a TON of furniture. Didn't buy any of it yet, but I was totally that weird person taking a zillion pictures all over the store.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful weekend of great finds and good food! Love those letters and will have to start looking for some of them, love the way they look.
ReplyDeleteo wow--that's such a great antiquing find! I never have any luck with those things. (I also like your letterpress letters. )
ReplyDeleteSounds like so much fun! And that pie looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a J today and thought of you! http://www.etsy.com/listing/74113095/vintage-letterpress-wood-type-printers?ref=v1_other_2 it is at PreserveCottage on Etsy, I saw it through a treasury I was in. I sell wooden printers type but I know J's are harder to find ..mine sold out right away! Julia
ReplyDeleteA happy belated birthday to your Mom, she looks so young!
ReplyDeleteI was going to compliment your fanny bag, it's so stylish!!!
