a day with my daughter...

those of us that have adult children know how it is...it's hard to find some time to spend quality time with them...
i asked stacey a few weeks back if she wanted to join me at a special event at vignettes...it's was their 15th anniversary soiree...
she said yes and we made a day out of it...we stopped for coffee and bagels on our way out and made our way down south...we drove the coast, obviously!!!
we made some quick stops along the way...bon bon in solano beach, the sicilian gypsy and our favorite was oh my goddess clothing store on cedros street in solano beach...
then off to vignettes...lori, the owner is such a great hostess and i saw some of my favorite junkers there...debbie, cece, christy and i also ran into the girls from not too shabby!!!
i also ran into a sweet friend of mine, sharon {lori's sister} from karen and sharon estate sales!!!
we did not stay that long...stacey's head starts spinning when i go into my crazy land of junking...
a fun day...a rushed day, but worth it to get a couple of hours with my daughter!!!
take time to smell the junk...

sharon and lori...


amazing set of chanel chairs...

irvine flea yesterday...

it was another good day at the irvine flea yesterday...it started out a little slow, probably because of the weather...people stayed home in the early morning hours and enjoyed their coffee...
our booth looked especially good and we had a lot of compliments...thank you...
and i sold a lot of treasures...
i have a lot of fleas and shows coming up, so look for updates on where i'm going to be!!!
if you see something you want, let me know...

meeting rachel...

i've loved rachel's look and feel ever since she started the "shabby chic" craze...
and, i've always wanted to meet her, but i'm so NOT a groupie and don't like to bother people, but it was meant to be that i met her and was able to take some time with her and chat with her at the remnants of the past show...thanks rachel for taking time out of your day for me...
she came around the corner, we made eye contact, she said hi and we started chatting...shared stories about our "mums", and she signed my book...i feel blessed...

our trip to remnants of the past...

i have the best husband ever!  he took me to remnants of the past this weekend and we had a great time...he made me laugh in a time that has been hard for me to smile and i love him so much for that!
remnants of the past is a lovely show and judy {i have not met you yet}...you do an amazing job putting this show together and the women and men that sell there are so nice...i bought a lot of treasures {check out the chair my husband is loading that is going in our family room}...
