Back Pack Purse (I love these)
I’ve been wanting this book for a while. Love paying .50 for a $20+ book. Inspiration and thought provoking reading for each day of the year.
These napkin rings are just way too sweet.
Love the little birdies $2 for each set of 4
Beautiful antiqued gold candlesticks $6 for the pair, wooden tray, and 6 wooden napkin rings.
Three framed prints with burlap matting. I have a great idea for the mats and frames.
This past Friday Katy, Alexa and I drove up to Washington in St. Landry Parish and did a little shopping at their annual fall outdoor sale. I managed to find some goodies and Katy bought me a couple of beautiful things.
I found seven of these precious sherbet dishes at an outdoor booth at the School House and one later in the day at a shop on the main drag. Love them. All for less than $8. whoo hoo
Katy bought me these beautiful amber/gold pieces at an outdoor booth at the School House. Just love them.
Now I really wish my family liked deviled eggs.
Visit Katy’s Blog and see some of her goodies from our shopping trip.
My sweet sis Katy found my wayward sugar bowl and took a picture of it so I could blog about it. She made it look really precious. Don’t you think? Thanks sis.
I just love these dishes. I have a few odd pieces and I want more!
Yesterday Katy and I took a little trip to St. Martin and St. Landry Parishes. In Breaux Bridge at Something Old Something new I found a sweet little sugar dish in the violet/gold rim set that I love. ( I forgot it in her truck so no pic) At Bayou Town I found 4 pink depression glass goblets to extend my colletion to 13. These glasses look lovely with the white and pink dishes Normand got me for Christmas last year.
After leaving Bayou Town we drove over a block or so and had lunch at Cafe Des Amis. For starters we had a divine cup of seafood and corn bisque with the most yummy tender french bread. For our entree we each decided to get an appetizer Katy got the eggplant wheels over a scrumptious creamy crawfish au-gratin and I got crawfish cornbread over a creole crawfish etoufee. Divine and huge portions let me tell ya. Please forgive us for not taking pictures of the food. I guess we were just to hungry to think of it. Then we took ourselves to the shop across from St. Bernard's Catholic Church where I Katy found a cute ball jar with a glass. She said it would be a great container for me put a little sumthin sumthin in for her.
We then drove north to Arnaudville to the St. Therese Wednesday garage sale. Where I found a few cute apothecary jars to add to my collection.
Then we decided that since we were in the area we should just drive on down to Grand Coteau and check out the shops there. We went to the Kitchen Shop and browsed around and looked at all the lovely things there. I picked up a Pumpkin Cranberry Scone mix. I can’t wait to try it. We then strolled on over to Creola Cafe and had the most scrumptious Pecan Apple Caramel Pie with vanilla ice cream. Oh so good. Oh so full. Good Company, Good Day. Thanks Katy for letting me tag along.

On this lovely spring weekend my sister Katy and I did quite a bit of flea/antique shopping. On Friday Katy and I went to an estate sale, Melanie LaFleurs Antique/Consignment shop, Crossroads Antiques in Opelousas, The Old Schoolhouse Antique Mall in Washington and Burkes Outlet in Lafayette. Whew what a day. We both found lots and lots of goodies. Check out Katy's goodies at her blog http://katylarson.blogspot.com/ Melanie LaFleurs was having a fabulous 60% off everything sale and a special sale in one of the out building with 75 % off. She is at Round Top TX this week and will be bringing home new stuff next week. You should go if you can there are lots of lovely treasures. Her hours are Wed -Thurs 9-3.
Then on Saturday to celebrate Katy's 27th bd (wink, wink) she her husband David and Normand & I took a little road trip to Ponchatula, LA home of the Strawberry Festival for a little flea/antique shopping. We got to Ponchatoula just in time for lunch at Paul's on Pine Street. We had a lovely lunch of red beans and rice with sausage and lima's on the side (Katy), hamburger on french bread dressed with lettuce and thick slices of tomato (David) and fresh fried shrimp po-boys (Deb and Norm). After lunch we had lots of fun walking down Pine Street checking out and finding goodies. Katy and I both scored some sweet things and the guys joked around and laughed constantly. Honestly you just can't take them anywhere. After we closed the shops down we stopped at Sonic for Slushies and Cokes to have with some of Katy's homemade Chocolate Almond Biscotti. Yummy Yummy!!! We also each bought a flat of fresh picked juicy sweet smelling delicious strawberries.
Strawberry shaped gummy candy for the little kids. I bought the older kids pralines but they ate them before I could take pictures. The blue dish is one of the treasures I found.
After leaving Ponchatoula (with a few unintentional detours) we drove to Baton Rouge for shopping at TJMaxx, Marshalls, Tuesday Morning and Barnes and Noble. (We found a few goodies there too.)
