ESTATE SALES


My favorite way to start the weekend!


My brother and his wife surprised us and met us there!


 The best things I saw were


this gigantic slide rule



and this wonderful old trunk an early bird scored for $6 bucks!


My peeps
worked up an appetite so we headed off to...


Alice Water's "other" restaurant named after her daughter, Fanny.


We patiently waited in line and ordered poached eggs with prosciutto on leviathan bread and bowls of latte's with Strauss Dairy milk






We considered an order of beignets but decided to pass.



We waited patiently for our food to arrive...


and then after breakfast popped into


 the adjacent wine merchant



to check out their offerings


before bidding our good-byes.

How do you typically spend your Saturday mornings?

What a nice sale...I love that slide ruler! Breakfast looked wonderful!

Saturday mornings around here are very slow and relaxed...the afternoons are for getting out and about!

Every day is started with a huge latte delivered bedside by my husband; how fabulous is that? Then it is off to the easel for a few hours of painting.

On another note, your mother's hair is spectacular!

The perfect day! I would do exactly what you did! In fact, if I can get moving, I'm going to the Candlestick Antique/Flea Faire today with best friend Maureen and her husband. Hope the weather is as nice as it was for you! Great post Terri. Looking forward to the White Elephant sale. I'm in!

Saturdays? Usually a private French lesson and then out to take photos, but I'll catch up with you for an outing like this... We will have the beignets!

Looks like great fun... love an estate sale but have not been to one in awhile

Bises,

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
