Girls Just Gotta Have Fun!

On Friday I met Rhoda in a quaint little town about an hour from where we both live to meet another blogger, Wanda. Wanda was having the grand opening of her shop and had invited us to check it out, so being the faithful junkers that we are, we gladly accepted her invitation to come see her and her shop.

Sylacauga is a little town which I have traveled through many times on the way to my sister's home. I've always admired the darling little homes on the main boulevard going through the town. Today I took a few pictures of some of the houses along the way....

I have always been attracted to this style house

Ya gotta know food would be involved in any shopping expedition. This grill was recommended to us and it did not disappoint

Chicken salad and fresh fruit - we ate out on the covered porch

After eating we took off for some shopping!

This shop had a lot of high-end merchandise showcased beautifully. There was quite a bit of monogrammed items and lots of wonderful dishes



I love anything monogrammed

These bird plates were so pretty

I wish I'd bought this cup and I may have to next time I go through the town


Another little shop that we visited was Mary Lee's. She was so sweet and just oozed Southern charm



Her shop carries new clothes, consigned clothes and furniture

Take a look at this handpainted armoire

Of course, we love bunnies!

View of the shop from the front. Mary Lee said a lot of the merchandise on the top shelves belonged to her family members and was for display only

We spotted this little garden chair which we thought was so cute and vintage-looking



House across the street

Now on to Wanda's shop

Rhoda really liked this black table....the prices were very reasonable


Look what she's done to the hutch....below is a close up of her "tea stained" scrapbook paper that she lined the back of the hutch with




I would love to have the glass top table but really have no place for it

These chippy green doors were so sweet. Wanda got them for a steal and they were not for sale but made for a great display

Here's the little black table again

Random pictures of Wanda's store

There was a little room that was set up like a garden room....really cute!

And here we all are.....me in the white shorts, Rhoda and Wanda (note to self: don't stand next to tall skinny people!)

I hope ya'll enjoyed this little shopping trip as much as we did. I enjoy Rhoda's company so much. Not only is she a talented decorator (if you follow her blog you know what I mean) but she is such a warm, sweet, genuine lady.

Ya'll have a happy and safe weekend!
