a couple of weeks ago the fam flew out to cali to visit our siblings & we had a fabulous time!
the weather was a tad cloudy, but it was cool, and when the sun popped out it was just beautiful!

and before we headed home on sunday, we shopped for local treasures at the long beach antique market!
if i lived anywhere close, i would have rented the largest u-haul possible and filled it to the brim!

long beach antique market
antiques of all kinds!
oh. my. goodness.
hub's had to reign me in & remind me that what we bought had to fit in a suitcase,
along with everything we'd packed going out there, and still be under 50lbs.
i love a challenge :)
we bought three pillow shams and a gorgeous rug! yes, a 5x8 rug!
hubby rolled the rug tighter than tight and packed it in his carry on bag.
wow. a man after my own heart!
it definitely wouldn't have fit in my bag...
here are my treasures...
initial burlap & linen pillow
$15.00
from the tarnished crown...she's super sweet and sells precious things!
light brown trellis-ish pillows. so lovely.

both for only $30!
and my favorite find of all...
it was truly a steal at only $40.
next time we go to cali, we're driving a u-haul!

{1} i'm seriously jealous.
{2} you should go every chance you get!

ReplyDeleteWOW...that $40 rug looks outstanding...I'm in the market for some area rugs and this one has really caught my eye! I also love both of those pillows.
