Yard Sale Saturday

YARD SALES

Today was a really good day for yard sales!

(Where as last weekend, was not! Note: never go to yard sales on Easter weekend). This week there had to be around twenty that we went to, some of them my mum and I drove past and were like "ehhh, no". But we did go to a lot of them, and we did find some pretty good stuff.

The most expensive thing we bought, was a piece of art, (the one with the houses, and boat) that was $15 handmade by this carpenter. And I have to say the best deal is the piece of window art that was only $5! The guy did say ten dollars, but we didn't want it that bad, then as we were about to walk away, he said take it for $5! And so we did! He told us he got it a Consignment Shop for $120, but I know here in the South, window art is not cheap, they usually run between $300-$1,200! Let's just say, we got it for a deal! The cheapest item, was  little Vintage Sheep, it was only .10 cents! My mum loves vintage stuff, so she was pretty excited to find that! My favorite item is the blender I got, it was only $6, and it works great! I also got three long sleeve button-down shirts, Ralph Lauren, J Crew, and some other brand for $1 (for all three)! I also got some work out pants, that were both a $1, (if you work out, you know work out pants are pretty pricey!). Max, my dog, pretty much got a deal! He got a Basketball for .50 cents, a rag Toy for .25 cents, and three free Tennis Balls. (I think he liked his Rag Toy the best). I believe we got a few other items, but I didn't want to post everything, just the really good finds!

I hope you enjoy!



Girls gone wild..

My little paradise..

Let's go take a look at my little paradise, know as, the garden.

It was a lot of work prepping for this garden! I

 hate how you put some much work into it and weeds always tend to mess it up! - Grrr weeds! I spent two days cleaning it up, and let me just say, it wasn't easy.. pulling weeds, getting eaten up by bugs, and having the sun beat on me.

(I will post pictures before and after pictures once all the plants start growing and producing).

So far I have:

Kale,

Tomatoes,

Dill,

Cilantro, (that I moved and possibly murdered, oops).

Grapes,

&

Blueberries.

What I planted:

Cucumber,

Cantaloupe,

Two types of Watermelon,

Zucchini,

Squash,

Beans,

Okra,

Sunflowers,

and two other types of flowers (I think the birds got a hold of them though, cause they are sprouting anything).

Here are just a few pictures I took the other night as the sun was going down.

Do you a garden?

What's in your garden?

If you don't have a garden, what would you want to grow?

Easter!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

I spent my day getting an Easter basket (with lot's of tasty treats), dying, glittering, and painting eggs with my mum and my doggie Max, I ate tons of tasty food such as Potato Salad, Asparagus, Fresh String Beans with Portabella Mushrooms, we had some type of meat (but as you know I'm a vegetarian, so I just stuck with the tasty sides).

After eating all that food, I was in a food coma, literally! All I wanted to do was pass out!

But you know what I did instead of being lazy???

I went and worked out with my mum, a long two hour work out! Hey I had to work off all that Potato Salad!  

It was such a great holiday, not only was it beautiful here, but I got to spend it with people and animals I love!

How was your Easter?

What all did you do?

A Good Ol' Southern Plantation

It's time to head to Pick Pocket Plantation!

In the South we have a lot of Farmer's Markets, we have one on Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation, we have one downtown every Wednesday, Thursday it's at a park near downtown, Friday it's in this community called Habersham, (which has been in many magazines for their beautiful houses and Market Place). Then on Saturday's there's one in Port Royal, and another one on Pick Pocket Plantation. So thankfully we have a lot to choose from-

But as of right now, I'm loving Pick Pocket Plantation.

 It's a hidden treasure in the middle of a town!

 If it weren't for the "Farmer's Market signs", you would never know it even existed.

When you drive onto the Plantation, you have fields filled with beautiful Horses, and on the other side you have Pecan Trees all in rows. As you keep going you come up to three cottages, which at one time, were slave quarters. As you drive up to the house you see two Chicken Coops on one side, and Barns on the other. Then you have the big Historic Home. In front of the home, there is a field, and that's where they have the Farmer's Market set up. Everyone there is really nice! The owner of the Plantation sells homemade Ice Cream in his old fashion Ice Cream Maker, wearing his big straw hat. His Ice Cream is truly the best thing ever, it's so creamy, nothing like what you buy from the store! There are quite a few veggies to choose from, but it's still early in the year, when summer comes, there will be a bigger variety. My mum and I got Tomatoes, Green Onions, a really yellow type of Squash (that I've never seen nor had before), and some other veggies! After we left the Farmer's Market, I had to go take pictures of the beautiful Plantation. I spent quite awhile looking at all the sweet curious Chickens and Roosters, and watched the Horses eating their lunch. I really wish I grew up on a Plantation, it would be so fun! I would just walk around all day, enjoying the fields, and sitting under the Pecan Trees... oh a girl can dream!

I am loving all these great colors lately. This is definitely the year for bright, in-your-face, vibrant, loud colors! I just recently purchased a coral skirt, and wore it with a white linen shirt (rolled sleeves), turquoise belt, leather wedges, as for the accessories I wore turquoise studs, turquoise gold leather bracelet, and a coral bag! Can you tell I love turquoise and coral? I am really looking for a pair of rolled up white pants, you can add any bright color to white, or you can even do white on white, and make your accessories pop! I think it's time to do a little shopping, bye bye basic colors, and hello brights!
