After so much getting rid of, it was so fun to head to one of the largest biannual flea markets in the area with some of our sweet friends and their two handsome, five month old twin boys and actually buy some things. Call us crazy for dragging three kids under the age of thirteen months around a flea market for four + hours, but really, it was a blast. Plus, the guys were on diaper duty, so us moms were flying free.
Ha, it was so sunny that I didn't realize I had the phone right in front of my face. Kerry snagged a vintage crate (you can see it in that first photo) that he had been jonesing after for quite some time. He has big plans to convert it into a bike rack. We also came home with this sweet 50-60's globe.
I had to convince Kerry that this odd, little, $3 elephant would look perfect in our living room. He wasn't so sure, but agreed after he found his place next to the television that he was a great fit.
We also brought home a couple of long, skinny vintage frames and a little 5" x 7" mirror, both of which need a little tlc. It was so fun to actually bring home a few random things. Kind of felt like a reward for all that getting rid of.
Continuing in the market mode, Ona and I checked out a local artisan market this afternoon. Walking around and seeing all of the local talent was plain inspiring (and slightly intimidating). Ona's favorite exhibit was a free balloon.
There were some beautiful things to purchase, namely gorgeous photography and artwork. However, we simply came home with this little print.
If you can't read it, it says, "Stay a while. Please." It caught my eye and I couldn't resist. Kerry helped me frame it tonight and hung it in the living room.
Now, to keep my eyes peeled for more fall markets!
p.s. After waking up way too early, Ona and I took a morning trip to the park. She was a giggling fool.
