The past two weeks have been very, very busy for me . . .
~ ~ and this past weekend was no different. . .
~ ~ ~ ~ a local tournament of my hubby’s and 2 sets of company to prepare for.
I gathered what little blooms I had on my hydrangea bush and placed them in the guest room bath.
I even had a couple of blooms to place in the kitchen . . . oh how I miss these flowers this year!
We have had four trips in a matter of two weeks . . . that’s how we roll around here.
On one of those trips, I ventured “away from the ballfields” . . .
~ ~ and went antiquing with my friend Merry in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
We found this great place of a cluster of antique shops.
In one of the shops “Picket Fence Antiques” . . . I found these great succulent gardens.
I loved these and LOVED the price!…the blue swirled enamelware succulent garden was $15.00 . . .
~ ~ and the white enamelware garden was $12.00.
I could not buy the containers and succulents for that price !!!
I found lots of bargains that day!
Like this table that was in a booth in which all of the furniture and items were 50% off !
Loved the top of this table . . . and with 50% off, this table was a little less than $50.00
I did get more great bargains that I will share later.
In the meantime, between travels and such . . .
~ ~ my granddaughter and I have been working on “her space” . . .
Here is a little of what we worked on last week.
We added “fairies” . . . she was so great in placing them just in the right spot!
The weekend was very rainy and dreary . . . so photos were a bit hard to take.
Placed accessories about and she finished painting the lamp.
As I stated above, the weekend was filled with company and a tournament . . .
They won!!…They are the Eastern National SSUSA Tournament winners in their division. . .
~ ~ so off they go in the Fall to Vegas to compete for the National Championship…Congrats Carolina Cobras!
My hubby is the one holding the trophy!
Have a most wonderful day and hope you had a great weekend too!!
Congrats to hubbie’s team!! I love your succulents and containers. It sounds like it was a great shop. The fairies are sweet.

So much fun to see your “finds”, Shirley! You are so right about those adorable gardens…you couldn’t buy the supplies for those prices. Congrats on your husband’s team winning their division. My sons used to love to play baseball and I loved going to their games. Maybe my husband will take up playing as a hobby and we can enjoy going to the diamonds in the summers again.

Love succulents. Wish I could get Jeff to replace his cacti garden with them. They love our dry air, too. The containers are great, too.
Carolina Cobras!!! Whoo hoo!!!!!!!! And so now it’s Vegas, baby!!! Oh, yeah! You’re going to have a good time!
AMAZING prices on those succulent gardens!!! Really super, and so easy care & hard to kill (my favorite part!).
Congrats on the new table! Great price on that, too. You were a bargain-findin’ maven out there!!!!
I hope you’re able to slow down and catch your breath. You have really been on the go for the last several months!!!

Shirley, your succulent gardens are lovely! I am such a fan of enamel items; they remind me of my Grandmother’s farmhouse. Your found some real deals! The table is so pretty! I adore the top and am so glad it wasn’t painted. Congratulations to your hubby and his teammates! What an honor and best of luck to them in the National Championship!
Shirley I love that table!! How lucky were you to find. Congrats to your hubby.

I also love that table and those wonderful plants. We go to Blackberry Farm for three days every September and go through Chattanooga. What part of Chattanooga are these neat shops?
Sorry…I didn’t edit my post.
Congrats to the hubby and you will get to go to Vegas! Love the great treasures you found with your friend. Love that table. That is pretty awesome. Graylyn’s room is looking so cute. Love the picture of her and her mom and the family picture is so sweet too.

What a great team picture, Shirley! Congrats to them and good luck in their next phase. Love your finds. You’re right, those succulent gardens would have cost more to put together if you did it yourself. Love the table you found, too.

Question: Do the guys play fast or slow pitch softball? I’m sure they are strutting, enjoying their championship, great at any age.
Leave it to you to find treasures. I wouldn’t have passed on the succulent garden either.

Great finds Shirley!! Those succulent gardens are just darling and congrats to the champs! 🙂
LOVE the succulent gardens, and what a steal! And, the table, too. You find the best things!
I just noticed the candle holder with the eggs…behind the fairy. I have those, too, and I never thought of ‘styling” them with eggs, etc. Great idea, and way to go Carolina Cobras!

Wow, congratulations to Tommy and his team. Great job. I love succulents, and the way you surrounded them and tucked them into beautiful containers is amazing. Gray must be over the moon with her own space in the house. I just love everything, and the lamp she painted turned out beautifully! Lucky little beautiful girl.
