Oh, the dilemmas of yardsale finds! I guess y’all probably figured I’d keep that bedding, right? Well…you’re right, I’m keepin’ it! I’ll take my time and slowly build some things that go with it and when the time is right, that room will get a makeover. It will be fun to see what else I can come up with in black and white from yardsales. I can totally see those black and white Staffordshire-like dogs in there, can’t you? AND, what color will the walls be…that’s to be determined. Maybe aqua like the inspiration pic, we shall see what hits me.
Do you all know about Bloglines yet?? I just started using it in the last couple of months (after Kat shared with me how wonderful it is) and WOW, does it save a lot of time with blog surfing. All you do is go here to Bloglines, register yourself, and then start adding your favorite blogs to your Bloglines. Once you have them all set up, you can save so much time by doing this. I used to just click off of my blog to check out what was new on your blogs and that wastes a LOT of time. This way, I can click on my Bloglines page and instantly see all the updates on my favorite blogs. Only the blogs that have new posts are shown. You can read them right on Bloglines OR click to go directly to the blog to see more. The ones you don’t get to will still stay highlighted and active until you click on them. Can you see how much time this saves? I love Bloglines! I’m sure there are other methods out there too, but this one works great for me. I have about 35-40 blogs saved right now and this is a wonderful tool to utilize. Try it, you’ll like it!

One recent Friday afternoon, I met up once again with this Gracious Southern Lady down in Jemison for some antique browsing. We met at a big antique mall there and walked it, talking all the while. Judy found a few things and I came home with only one little creamware vase for my collection. We meandered on to downtown Jemison, where we found this cozy little antique spot where we chatted with a very nice gentlemen who owned the place.
It was very picturesque and perfect for snapping some photos to share. Lots of rustic things all around and the brick wall was a perfect backdrop.
Vintage shabby painted pieces were all over the place.
Columns and shutters looking for a new home.
Along with some pottery pieces yearning to join someone’s collection.
I adored this old built by hand table with the vintage green and white harlequin vinyl attached to the top. Isn’t this quaint? It would be a perfect potting bench outside, for only $45 a great deal. This brought back memories of two little side tables my dad built from scratch when me and my sister were growing up, that looked a lot like this piece. We didn’t have a lot of money, so he took a couple of old laminate pieces that he found for the tops and fashioned us some side tables for our bedroom. Later on my mom added a fabric skirt on them to hide the board games and books. I still remember those tables to this day!
Bird cage and wicker, great combo.
Who doesn’t love leaded glass windows. I sure do!
More brick wall
This cozy chippy white dresser was a neat piece too. We didn’t buy anything here, but enjoyed looking.
And we stopped by the Smoky Hollow Restaurant for some much needed lunch. I got the veggie plate….fried green tomatoes, cole slaw, green beans….AND
Some homemade onion rings. We girls need our food now, don’t you know, energy to keep going?! Hope you enjoyed shopping with me and Judy. 
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I am going to try Bloglines. Thanks for the info. Thanks for sharing your fun day!

Double yum on the fried green tomatoes!! I love all the antique stuff. Those black chairs with the little painted flowers are adorable. Also, i found one of those little chair plant stand things a while back. it needs a paint job though (on my to-do list). It’s adorable though.
Bloglines–love it. BUT, it is so addicting!!
