Nothing like a girl’s weekend away for some rest and relaxation. We got in both and had a great time browsing some thriftstores, eating lunch out in Asheville, and trying to figure out how to get some treasures home to Atlanta.
Staying at Angela’s beautiful cottage was truly a treat, once again. Featured in Cottages and Bungalows magazine last Fall, the renovation on this place is amazing. I’ve already written about it before and here is Angela’s lovely blog, documenting the Cottage progress. It’s open for rentals during the year and I would highly recommend it.
The greatroom is all open to the dining room and kitchen.
Snapping in the mirror of the master bathroom. I’m loving sweater dresses, tights and boots this year.
Another view of the greatroom and dining area.
Looking towards the kitchen. When the sun rises, it comes flooding in the huge picture windows.
We stopped in downtown Waynesville too for a look around this quaint little town.
It’s another small town in NC with charm.
We browsed a few gift shops and art galleries.
Lots of color on the walls.
This brick wall is a great backdrop to art.
This is a pretty and vividly colored oil painting.
A shop door.
Glazed pottery.
More pottery, which I’ve always loved.
Pretty art.
These sweet sheep photos were adorable. Just look at those faces.
Some funky iron art on the street.
We spotted a Habitat Restore and HAD to stop in.
This was the best bargain I saw in there, a solid wood dresser.
For only $40! This is a great paint candidate. Good bones.
Dovetail drawers. These old vintage pieces are a wonderful find for painting. Wish I could have brought it home!
Kristin found some huge old brass lanterns and she brought them home for outside her front door. She plans to paint them oil rubbed bronze. At $20 each, better than buying new.
That was day one of our girl’s weekend and I still have lots more to share. Nothing like a thrifting weekend to get you ready for a new year.
Ms. Rhoda….I just dropped by to see what you were up to and was so HAPPY to see you were in my hometown of Waynesville!! Although, I moved away 20 years ago…I still visit every chance I get because my entire family still lives there!! If you drop by my blog…I have all sorts of pics of main street Waynesville during a gorgeous snow storm!
Anyway…I plan to park myself here for awhile browsing through all your pics!! :-))))) As always, you blog is my all time favorite!!
