Tomorrow we head out of the mountains.
The plan is to start early in order to have time to stop at some of my favorite junk shops, thrift stores and antique centers.
I need to be home in time to fix a nice dinner for Mr. Flea.
He misses me.
:)
In addition to antique shops and junk stores, I will be on the lookout for farm stands that might have some white pumpkins for sale...
...although it is a few weeks early.
Hopefully I won't become too distracted treasure hunting!
Evi has recommended a few new places for me to try...
You just never know what you might find!
Isn't it exciting?
:)
Goodbye September lake!
We will be back soon to enjoy the autumn colors...
I hope your week is going well.
:)
You're going to have a wonderful time and this seems to be just the right time of year for adventures! Good luck! :-)

Seems like it's going to be a fun ride home!
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting. And the lake looks beautiful. I wish September and October would not go so fast...they are so beautiful!
I remember that place....Deanna Paula and I stopped there after we left your house. I think I was the only one who bought anything...you know me can't leave empty handed.
ReplyDeleteHave a good night with Mr Flea....I bet Starla missed you too!

Sounds like you're in for a great drive home, Laura. Enjoy!
ReplyDelete"Thrifting all the way home"...sounds like great fun!! Also sounds like a fun way to change the "this little piggie" rhyme. I still have little ones so many phrases fit into rhymes and kids stories for me!
ReplyDeleteSniffing out old delights is always fun, the anticipation of never knowing what you may find. Oh the joy; my drug of choice anyday!, (closely followed by a stiff Whiskey). Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know better, I'd swear that last photo wasn't real!
ReplyDeleteThat white barn would make my Exploder turn on a dime!
Debbie
Oh what beautiful scenery! Love all of the goodies pictured!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day and a wonderful reunion with Mr. Flea!
You have the most wonderful places to enjoy! My dream is to live on a lake and yours is so beautiful! I would take a lake over the ocean anyday...
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteWhere is that dress mannequin at? I want one of those so bad , in my area I haven't found a one.
I want to go along with you shopping also.
Janice
I can't find any white pumpkins either! Ugh! Good luck my friend! ~lulu
ReplyDeleteLaura, I hope you were successful with the antique hunting and maybe you even found something in the place I mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI'll call you tomorrow and if you did not find a punpkin, I will look for you on my trip.
By the way, Wednesday is just fine with me!
Your Mr. Flea, Danny and Starla must be sooooooooo happy tonight.
Enjoy,
Love you, Evi
Have a safe and fun trip home Laura
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Mr Flea and Starla are anxious to see you!!! and have lots of fun thrifting!!!

I have just discovered your blog and I must add you to my bloglist so I find my way back here again :)
Just love the suitcase a few posts away. Absolutley stunning! ....and the wooden printblocks! I have a few of those myself but I´m always hunting for more, they are soooo nice!
Hugs, Carina from Sweden
Oh my that lake is to die for. I could sit and stare at it all day. Hope you found some wonderful treasures.
