Hubby had clients to see in D.C….

…..so I tagged along.

He saw clients all day for the first day, so I just stayed in the hotel room, catching up…

…..on things I never seem to have time to do..

……….read and watch TV 🙂

The next day, we headed home….

And look what we see….yes, Wegmans!…The Grocery Store Mecca…of course I had to go in!

Just wish we had one in N.C.!!

AND… on our way home, we pass through Leesburg, Virginia…

Now…do you know where I am headed????

LUCKETTS !!!…I made it !!

As you can see, it was a beautiful day!

And lots of great stuff to see…

And even some things for hubby to see…he is perusing some old golf clubs…

And here’s a few snipits….

And then after seeing all the great things outdoors…I ventured inside….

…..and came upon Miss Mustard Seed’s fabulous items….

Too bad the secretary would not fit in the car.

Other “pretties” of hers….

We then left to go downtown to grab some lunch….

……after a wonderful lunch, I spotted an antique store on our way out of town….STOP!!!..

The shop was wonderful.. antiques from Europe: however, mostly from Germany…

There was an entire room dedicated to German grain sacks and linens….

But then look what I found!….

The store owner called it a “wine balloon”…I guess that is what they call the basket weaved wrapped demijohns.

It was huge…they had other smaller ones…but we liked this larger one…I loved the two-toned color of the weave.

I did not take many pictures inside….I was unsure how they felt about it…

So here is my stash…my treasures of the day….

I picked up the old chair with the missing seat and the milk glass candle holders from Lucketts…

The “wine balloon” and old basket…from the antique shop, German Favorite Antiques….

And this is where they ended up..at least for now….

The chair will be repainted a pretty bright color…this is my future potting bench area…

Clipped more hydrangeas this morning….

So that was my wonderful day out with my hubby…a beautiful day…as we ventured home…

I am joining the following lovely parties:
