Happy Monday all, I hope you had a wonderful weekend~
It was absolutely beautiful here in So Cal yesterday, warm temps and lot's of sunshine, finally!
Hubby was off yesterday so spur of the moment we decided to go to the flea market.
I am so glad we did, 2 of my favorite vendors were there and I picked up some wonderful things.
I got this great chippy aqua bistro chair from a favorite French vendor.
I made the pillow from yards of antique Euro grain sack fabric I purchased from another favorite vendor. I'll be selling these pillows soon in my booth at "Country Roads". If your interested in purchasing one or two, e-mail me and I can send you a Paypal invoice.
I have been looking for some aqua colored demijohns and finally found them.
If you ever wonder how to clean them, I sprayed the inside of mine with Clorox bleach spray and it got rid of all of the stuck on dirt. Soap and water just didn't cut it.
I also picked up these amazing French letters. One of them is dated "1786".
After the flea market, we went to the beach and had lunch, it was such a great day with the family!
On another note, I'm a student again!!~
I finally registered for my Photography program this morning and I am completely thrilled!!~ It finally feels like I'm on my way to pursuing my dream. I can not wait to start learning everything I can about Photography!!
Wish me luck!
Have a wonderful week everyone, and thank you so much for always stopping by for a visit!
Sincerely,
Melinda
