Friday they all went on "The Boat". My mom and I were going to go, but there were 11 of us. So, we claimed capacity issues and went shopping and to lunch instead. Muahahahahahahahaha.
The first stop on my list was Melrose Vintage which I had heard about on the blogs of girls who were at Sparkle Bella this June. And it definitely lived up to it's reputation. Gorgeous displays, paper delights, vintage lovelies...
Next up... a couple doors down to Rust and Roses. I'd been here on Tuesday. I'd dragged my whole family out to so I could go to Melrose Vintage which turned out to be closed on Tuesdays, and happened upon this store. Too fun. I had to take my mother back.
Then off to lunch at Willow Bakery. A must do. And to an antique store where I gathered a slew of goodies to put on bags.
We were having a great time, but we started to worry that the others would make it home before us. We didn't want them to think we'd had so much fun, so we raced home. Perfect timing. They'd just walked in.
"Oy. What a day. I'm sure you all had much more fun on the freezing cold lake."
Muhahahahahahahahaha.
Oh Bari, this store looks so yummy!

I ABSOLUTELY love those big green doors! I seriously need one of those in my craft room as a bulletin board.

I love your evil alternative to a barfy trip on a boat! I would so do that! Maybe, please, you could, please, invite me, please, next time?
Please?
I know I talk too much, and tend to snort and giggle at odd moments, but I am an awful lot of fun to be around (read: unpredictable) and don't even shoplift!
Let me know. Let the internet ring quite a while, as I will be waiting on the curb with my bag packed!
