spring in my step...

Good Morning!
I am very happy to say that is it raining this morning!!
Happy that is because it is not snow!!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!  I sure did...I went out Friday, Saturday and Sunday!  While I had my hopes set on going to my favorite antique spots and catch up on treasure hunting, my outings consisted of going to smaller places ~ a local consignment shop, a thrift shop and Michaels.  We also were treated to dinner at our good friends house on Saturday night (thanks Leslie and Joe!).  I went food shopping with Jim Sunday morning (did not miss doing that at all).  On Sunday afternoon we went into the shop then out for dinner!  I am so happy that I feel so good when it has only been a little over 2 weeks since my surgery!

We went into the shop because I finally sold the white desk...
The mirror and chair have also sold!

I brought in this vintage rattan, glass top coffee table...
  I found a few sets of those old shutters on Friday and thought they would add a great pop of color (turquoise?) to my booth.  I also added a few items to help welcome Spring...

It feels great to have a little spring in my step again!

Thanks you for stopping by today!  I am off to see what you all were up to this weekend.  I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

    If there were any way at all I could con Cat Daddy into doing the grocery shopping, I would. That's the one thing I truly hate doing...but I love eating!
    Love all your flower paintings...definitely says Hello Spring!

    It looks like you had a wonderful weekend...and it sounds like your recovery has been pretty speedy! I think it is all the Blogland prayers that went up for you!;>)

    Your booth is looking good...love the little pops of turquoise. It is looking Spring-y there now.

    Hope your Monday is a good one. I am at work already...sigh...Have a good day~ Hugs-Diana

    Glad you have your spring back. Congratulation on the sell of all those items in your space. Don't you just love it when items sell and you can redo the space.
    Loven the daisy painting.
    Have a fab week.

    Sandi,
    So glad you are doing great! I was praying for a speedy recovery for you. :)
    The spring touches in your space look adorable. I always spend time lingering in your booth when I'm working at the shop! I'm working feverishly to get my collections together for my new garden theme space. Might even stretch that to garden/porch. Wish me luck.
    Blessings,
    Karen

    Your booth space looks so nice! I am contemplating giving mine up and having a giant garage sale. Decisions...decisions.

    I'm with you: I'll take rain over snow any day! I just love your booth! Is that in a consignment shop? My dad used to do that but had no luck. Something I've been considering...

    I'm having problems commenting but I said I'm with you: I'll take rain over snow any day!

    And just wondering if your booth is in a consignment shop? My dad had no luck with them but it's something I was considering.

    I'm so glad you're feeling good! I'm loving rattan painted white right now, I love that coffee table and can see big possibilities for it!

    What a fun weekend you had! We've got some rain here today, YAY! My friend and I have been taking walks everyday so it'll be a nice wet one today:)

    Hey Sandi! So glad to hear you are feeling well. Congrats on the sales. Your shop looks great! And I love, love, love, those aqua shutters. Gorgeous color (obviously I'm drawn to it as it's the main color on my blog right now -- but I have not one bit of it in my home, just every other color you can imagine :) Anywho ... hope the week ahead is just as wonderful as your weekend was. Take care! Best wishes, Tammy

    Glad you are feeling well...Your phrase "food shopping" made me smile because I used to say that when i moved to NY and I was constantly corrected...Grocery shopping...and I called the grocery store the "food store"....it sure still makes sense to me!! Booth looks nice and springy!

    How Fun! It's nice when bigger pieces sell, then you have to "shop" for more! The shutter look great. I'm waiting to find some around here. Maybe after all the snow melts...
