this and that...

Last week I was in the middle of a meltdown. Once again I had a little bit too much on my plate. I was thinking about what I needed to get done and about when it needed to be done by... it was all too much! My head was swimming and my body was tired. Then someone put a calendar in front of me and pointed out that I had been miscalculating my dates and that I actually had a whole extra week up my sleeve...Duh! Suddenly life wasn't so bad and my load seemed a little more manageable. I decided to head to Perth for a weekend of op-shopping and family visiting, tip scouring and garage sale hunting. This was exactly what I needed, to step back and take a break and regain some perspective. The fact that I am coming home with this set of chairs tied to the roof of my car is just the icing on the cake of a weekend full of awesome finds... Tomorrow I will be returning home with a car full of new treasures,  feeling happy and entirely spoiled. I can't wait to do a show and tell :)

  2. oh my those chairs tied to your roof- I bet you get a few second looks driving by. They are lovely and will be right at home in the sugar shack.
    Look forward to seeing your other treasures and no doubt some new vintage floral additions.

  5. What a score! I think they will be perfect in your place :)
    Drive safely. I've found that highway to be particularly yawn-inducing after a full weekend!
