What I got today!

well, we ended up not going to the coast to see jeremy. his mom, mrs charlotte, ended up being in workshops for a few days and we wouldn't get to see her! so we are probably going to go in a few weeks.

so this morning, tommy, mary peyton, and i headed to a place that a friend suggested - jammin' biniets. it's in ridgeland right behind ro' chez and is so good. granted, it's no cafe du monde, but it's still good!

after this, i went to an estate auction in country club (we went into town in 2 cars). it was actually for a patient of mine who had passed away last year.

i got some "new" chairs for our kitchen table - they are so old and i love them.

i also got this chair. it is very sturdy and i'm going to have the seat redone/recovered once i decide where in the house i'm going to put it! but for $20, i couldn't pass it up!!!


i also got this rug. it was in their kitchen, but i have it in our den covering most of the horrible spots that cover our carpet. i paid a good bit for it, but it was something i've been wanting for a long time.

i ended up with a few other things, but these are the major things.

today has been such a good day - nothing in particular to do.....just going with the flow. i love saturdays like that!

hope you have a wonderful sunday!

Love the rug! It really adds character to your room!

Is there something on MP face? Tried to double click on the pic, but it would not make the pic bigger.

Love the rug! I love going to sales like that. Last year a friend of ours had a sale and she had a couch that I wanted so much, but I didn't have a place to put it. I still think about that crazy couch. It was just so unusual!

I thought about you yesterday morning when I checked my e-mail and had two e-mails for estate sales in Jackson.

One of these days I will actually go to my first estate sale!
