Fun, fun, fun!
I met my hunny bunny Rhonda over at one of my favorite antique shops in Chandler called Merchant Square and we had the best time. In fact look at what I got…
…eek! This is it in the store, I didn't get all the dishes. Jeff and Eric came and picked it up and Rhonda and I continued to shop. Gotta love my men. I paid the guys with a Chicago dog and a pop.
A few years ago I had found this hutch.
I think it was twice as much as I spent on mine today…but I didn't know they had layaway and when I finally found out the hutch was long gone, so I was sad as I really liked it, but I love the one I got way better so it was fate.
When I got home we moved the red shelf out and set up my new hutch, then I started decorating.
What do you think? It has so much storage that I don't even have stuff in all the drawers or cupboards yet. In fact I took out my little black jewelry box stand that I had in here and actually will use it in my bedroom for jewelry…ha! I moved the spinner rack to the other side and I have to figure out where to hang my clock.
Rhonda's sweet Mum gave me a couple doilies that were her Mum's and this one was perfect on the top.
Really my friends, I won't lie…this is the other side of the room…ha! See I don't keep any secrets from ya…ha! This needs to get tidyied up. Thank goodness I don't have any classes till next weekend. Yikes! They won't know how bad it looked…shhh….don't tell.
I got this cute little red clock.
Rhonda spotted this for me, I wanted another one. It is actually an old receipt holder, they are hard to find cause they are probably dangerous if you think about it. What I use it for is when I am cutting ribbon, I put it on the spike and then the spool just spins and I don't get the ribbon all tangled.
This paper towel holder screamed clucked to be taken home…I love it.
So wasn't that a fun day? Hard to believe this year is almost over eh?
Have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping in.
It was such a blast, just spending time with you and that we each found things we wanted and I think we found just as many things for each other too! Love them, and I see you everywhere I turn now!! 🙂 hugs, love ya bestie!
Beautiful hutch! I like it better than the other one too.
I love,love,love your new hutch…….a great find 🙂
Good thing I live in Cranston, Rhode Island! Because if I lived in Arizone, we would have had a "rumble" over everything you bought! I LOVE everything!!!!
Hi Diana! I don't know if you remember me, this is Maria and I sit in front at Convention with you and Becky. I just want to tell you how talented and creative you are and how much I appreciate that you share with all of us! I love too that you show us this other fun stuff like antique shopping because it gives me ideas too. I hope you have a wonderful New Years with your family and with Stampin' Up! Take care and God Bless – Maria.
WOW. All your "find" are wonderful. But I gotta say I simply adore the hutch! Lucky you! And you've made it so pretty.
Wow — what a jackpot trip! LOVE the red clock!!
What memories you made! Love your purchases!
I just have to say the hutch is quite the find. The red clock is way cool …love it!!Your chicken paper towel holder was truly just made for you. I love your class room area messy is better…then you it has been loved.
Absolutely love the hutch!
OMGosh that hutch is gorgeous! Looks great and you already decorated it you are very energized..after a day of shopping you still had the energy to set it all up! I envy you! wishing you and yours a very Happy & Healthy New Year!
Okay….so now I know it is not your red hutch painted!!!!! It is very nice. What are you going to do with your red hutch??
Hey Di, I haven't commented in a while,but I loooove the hutch and the clock. I really like the receipt holder too. I hope to find one but I am still looking for a flower frog too. Clinton, Tn has a large antique district and I need to go back there. I did, however, luck up on a hutch at an estate sale a few years back. It is a beautiful hard, curly maple in near mint condition and it was $150. My dad did hobby woodworking and with his influence, I cannot bring myself to paint it. Yours is adorable and you have decorated it wonderfully. I enjoy your antiquing trips and wish I was along. I enjoy your posts. Kathryn
OMGosh! Awesome hutch, just love all scallops and trim on it. Thanks for everything. Hope you have a great year.
I LOVE love love love LOVE that hutch you just got. Why can't I ever found such wonderful goodies? It looks great in your space too. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, my goodness. What a cute hutch! Jealous I yam.
