Woke up Saturday morning and looked at Steve and said “Wanna go to Chattanooga?” He said, “Sure”.
So….off we went…
Nancy at Silver Linings had mentioned on her blog about a place in Chattanooga called Dwelling and it sounded like my kind of place….and it was…
Love the brick and plaster on the walls…this was upstairs…
This mirror was $35! I wish I had gotten it! Who cares I have nowhere to put it? Does that ever matter????
Cute table and chairs….loved the green…
This place was FULL! I saw a picture downstairs I wanted…when I got back down there…GONE!!! I know better!!! Should have carried it around with me!
Then we went to a place called Architectural Salvage…Stained glass galore…
columns, windows, pediments, you name it, they had it….
But it was HIGH!!!
I thought this big chest was interesting….
This was the sign on it…
I have to wonder….the Vittatoe children drag this HUGE chest home from the battlefield, it has been in the family since 1863…and now it is for sale? Kinda sad….that was some feat…dragging this thing home off of a battlefield! There could have been live ammo still on the ground for pete’s sake!
(Thought I would throw in a little history lesson for ya’)
Then we went to Knitting Mill Antiques, ate at Knitting Mill Food Works and it was awesome! I got a Riverfront Cobb Salad with bleu cheese vinaigrette! It was SO GOOD!!! It had avocado in it and I LOVE avocados!
I went AWOL with the camera at Knitting Mill, I don’t know why, but it was HUGE!! I think I was totally overwhelmed! My purchases for the day included….
This cute potted Rosemary plant….thingy….
loved the moss on the pot…$11.00 minus 25%….
This corkscrew for $3 which both of the ladies who checked me out wanted!
Loved the lines….
These itsy bitsy silver mice….It said they were place card holders….I just liked’em..I got four of them…the box they came in said Fischer Jewelers….$10.00
The little iron gate….$4
And these brackets for $10. I am going to paint them black and mount them under my cabinets by the sink…
And one cutie patootie husband….Priceless….I AM a lucky gal….
Thanks for stopping by!!
Kisses!
Lou Cinda :)

You certainly are a lucky gal. Sounds like a lovely day with the 'honey'. Great bargains too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you two had a fabulous day! Love your new mice!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Looks like a fantastic day! I need to go shopping with YOU!
ReplyDelete{{{HUGS}}}
I love shopping in shops like that. I have heard good things about Chatanooga. We lived near Knoxville, for a few years and everyone kept telling us to visit Chatanooga...we never made it. But some day we will!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great Saturday wih Steve! Will there be a sequel? : ) Yes, what were you thinking Lou Cinda?! Carry stuff around until you are absolutely sure you don't want it ~ you know the rules {sheesh!}. You made out pretty well ~ love the mice placecard holders. That little iron gate makes for such a great background piece.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day to me! Great shopping, good food and wonderful company! I don't think I could convince my husband to go out for a day of shopping with me.
ReplyDeleteLove all the goodies you found.

Sounds like a neat trip! I've never been to Chatanooga! I don't think I spelled that right. What a neat place, I could have done some serious damage there! Love all your goodies, especially all those cute little mice!! And the mossy pot! So glad you had a happy day!

Love the little mice! And your husband going to all those places with you...is priceless. You better hold on to him! Glad you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day of shopping it looks like you had!! I love days like this as they seem so seldom and so are very special times.

Sounds like a great day.... I love going to places like this..
ReplyDeleteGirl, this is some major cuteness you scored! I love it! Sounds like a very, very fun day, and I loved what you had for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI am back in business with my computer, but I have car issues so I will be dealing with that tomorrow and with my mother in law's visit. HELP!
XO,
Sheila :-)
What a sweetheart of a husband to go junking with you! You are right...you should have purchased that mirror! It always aggravates me when I am buying an item and Lurch says "where you gonna put that". Sometimes I want to tell him where I would like to put it! :)
ReplyDeleteMalisa

Spencer

Lou Cinda,
ReplyDeleteJust came by to say hi and check things out here.
Great store, and fun finds.
Busy at the store now so not as much time for blogging, either to post, or visit. But, taking a minute to catch up with old friends.
Hope you are having a great summer!!
