This past weekend Mr.OTM and I had a great opportunity to head on up to Raleigh NC!
The reason for the trip was a surprise birthday party for JJ ( Russ's niece)~ and we got her good too! She was completely surprised .We always have so much fun when we all get together! And the FOOD~ Boy do we have the food!! Okay...(get ready Marcia & Jan here comes your Shout outs) MARCIA (Russ's SIL's sister) made THE BEST Ramen Noodle Salad and French toast(sort off) and JAN ( Russ's SIL) made this KILLER Mac and Cheese and most of the French toast! LOL! I will do a recipe post in the future cuz you are gonna want to try these! Oh and one of the best parts was I received and handmade afgan Jan made me that I LOVE!
AND....I also got to go junkin!! YIPPEE! TAKE A PEEK !
I was in CHIPPY GLORY!!
This is the first old dolly that I ever bought and she is fantastic and in great shape with a wonderful face. Most of the stuff came from the flea market at the fairgrounds. I have wanted to go there for awhile and finally made it. Had a blast!

Not sure what the architectural piece is from. Any ideas? It had the perfect chippiness! LOVe it!
This little old doll quilt was a whopping 5 bucks and one of my fav finds! BUT~ One of THE BEST FINDS WAS THIS..............
SuzAnna's Antiques!! Holy ta moly you gotta go! I got to meet Jenny and what a super sweet gal! I was freakin out (in a good way) as soon as I rolled into the parking lot! There is JUNK EVERWHERE (again...in a good way) and I think I sprained my eyeballs from lookin around so fast. I couldn't decide which way to turn! The displays are great and you gotta love a place the uses the words "peely paint" on there business cards! I will be back~this time with the truck!
So that's it for now~ I have a few surprises coming up this week so stay tuned!

You did great on all your cool finds. I am hitting a few places today myself and can't wait. I understand the heart racing, pulse pounding, stomach aching feeling even as I'm getting dressed to go. And, I get a day to myself today minus my three precious children. Have a great one. I hope to.

ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about Suzanna's. I'm guessing a roadtrip to Raleigh might be in my future. What's 6 hours?
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to tell me sista, I luv SuzAnna's. If only it wasn't a 3 hour drive away! I've considered moving to Raleigh just to be closer, but mrPeachez just isn't on board. dang. xo, suzy
ReplyDeleteHi Beth ~ I thought I'd pop over for a visit. It's almost time to get our swaps in the mail....I need to get busy and finish your trasjy goodies.
ReplyDeleteI love all these great finds. That architectural piece looks similar to the harp leg on a table I saw at an antique mall recently. It looks like it migh have been cut from the middle of it.
