OK...can I tell you how HOT it was yesterday at Scott's? GUAM HOT.....I kept asking myself "what am I doing out here sweating like crazy, is it worth it?" Damn right I said! And here are some of the pictures to prove it! I actually went with a friend of mine [a Scott's "virgin"] Mimi and she was quite the little trooper. I mean we got out of the car and walked to the first vendor and she made a purchase. She was "in", hooked as we say in the scavenger shopping business :)
Here are some of the things I saw, and left behind [insert pouty face here].
Yikes...how cool is this bike? Just propped against a wall in a beach house?
OK...here is one of my purchases. I have been looking for the right ones to buy forever. They were always too small or not the right color. I turned the corner and BAMM, I was in love. Not in the budget this month but you know how that goes! Two of them.
I also bought these large apothecary jars. They are kind of hard to come by and they will be lamps in my house. I know I already have one large glass lamp but I don't care! The good thing about glass lamps is that you can see through them [duh] so it opens up the space somewhat. My theory anyway, and I am sticking to it.
I then headed over to some of my favorite pillow vendors. Have I mentioned how much I love pillows?
Love these. She is from North Carolina and always has gobs of great ones. I have bought many a pillow from her.
Lavender.....
Coral and Blue....great combo
I have always loved this Osborne and Little fabric!
Jewel tones...they are back.....
I drooled over these two. Kept trying to make them work in one of my rooms.....She is there every month and I look forward to seeing what gems she has brought along.
These next few are from Lare McCreary, a friend of mine. He is a great guy, and has just started his own line. With 4 girls under the age of 7 I think....he needs you to buy some pillows! Tu Tu's are expensive :)
gotta love...
If you want to see more, you can contact him at: lare@stuartlawrencedesign.com
He has tons, and actually showed at the Atlanta Mart in July.
This next girl is awesome. Many of these are one of a kind. She does do custom also.

Now for some things I REALLY loved.
How cute is this? There were 2 of these and I thought they were ingenious. I wracked my brain for a place to put them!
And, loved these 2 lamps. The color was great...
Janis Tant
205 447 1200 if you want them!
OK...more from the "want" pile
How cute is this TV? I mean really, when are flat screens going to come out in cool colors? I managed to score a white 42 inch about 4 years ago, but they don't make them anymore.
I thought this was a cool pendant.
Please...a king size headboard in my favorite color for 295.00 Steal...
I could barely walk away from this little puppy....if only they had 2 of them!
Great makeover.....
I know...another glass lamp, but the shape was so cool.
Love this display. I actually have this tray and did not know what it was used for. The tag said it was a tray used to dry fruit. It actually looks pretty dang good with those shells on it.
I loved this girls art. She is from Athens and priced very well. I believe this was 199.00 and it was huge! Here are a few more pictures of her work.
Her name and number is Cecel Allee 706.338.7627 She does not have a web site, but I am sure she could send you pictures of other work.
Ok....so there you have it. So many cool things...so little money :) IF I win the lottery tonight, you can bet I will high tail it back tomorrow for a huge shopping spree!
Have a great weekend
