The Loot

OK...can I tell you how HOT it was yesterday at Scott's?  GUAM HOT.....I kept asking myself "what am I doing out here sweating like crazy, is it worth it?"  Damn right I said!  And here are some of the pictures to prove it!  I actually went with a friend of mine [a Scott's "virgin"] Mimi and she was quite the little trooper.  I mean we got out of the car and walked to the first vendor and she made a purchase.  She was "in", hooked as we say in the scavenger shopping business :)
Here are some of the things I saw, and left behind [insert pouty face here].

Yikes...how cool is this bike?  Just propped against a wall in a beach house?

OK...here is one of my purchases.  I have been looking for the right ones to buy forever.  They were always too small or not the right color.  I turned the corner and BAMM, I was in love.  Not in the budget this month but you know how that goes!  Two of them.

I also bought these large apothecary jars.  They are kind of hard to come by and they will be lamps in my house.  I know I already have one large glass lamp but I don't care!  The good thing about glass lamps is that you can see through them [duh] so it opens up the space somewhat.  My theory anyway, and I am sticking to it.

I then headed over to some of my favorite pillow vendors.  Have I mentioned how much I love pillows?

Love these.  She is from North Carolina and always has gobs of great ones.  I have bought many a pillow from her.

Lavender.....

Coral and Blue....great combo

I have always loved this Osborne and Little fabric!

Jewel tones...they are back.....

I drooled over these two.  Kept trying to make them work in one of my rooms.....She is there every month and I look forward to seeing what gems she has brought along.

These next few are from Lare McCreary, a friend of mine.  He is a great guy, and has just started his  own line.  With 4 girls under the age of 7 I think....he needs you to buy some pillows!  Tu Tu's are expensive :)

gotta love...

If you want to see more, you can contact him at: lare@stuartlawrencedesign.com
He has tons, and actually showed at the Atlanta Mart in July.

This next girl is awesome.  Many of these are one of a kind.  She does do custom also.

Now for some things I REALLY loved.

How cute is this?  There were 2 of these and I thought they were ingenious.  I wracked my brain for a place to put them!
And, loved these 2 lamps.  The color was great...

Janis Tant
205 447 1200  if you want them!

OK...more from the "want" pile

How cute is this TV?  I mean really, when are flat screens going to come out in cool colors?  I managed to score a white 42 inch about 4 years ago, but they don't make them anymore.

I thought this was a cool pendant.

Please...a king size headboard in my favorite color for 295.00  Steal...

I could barely walk away from this little puppy....if only they had 2 of them!

Great makeover.....

I know...another glass lamp, but the shape was so cool.

Love this display.  I actually have this tray and did not know what it was used for.  The tag said it was a tray used to dry fruit.  It actually looks pretty dang good with those shells on it.

 I loved this girls art.  She is from Athens and priced very well.  I believe this was 199.00 and it was huge!  Here are a few more pictures of her work.

Her name and number is Cecel Allee  706.338.7627  She does not have a web site, but I am sure she could send you pictures of other work.

Ok....so there you have it.  So many cool things...so little money :)  IF I win the lottery tonight, you can bet I will high tail it back tomorrow for a huge shopping spree!
Have a great weekend
