And well it just NEVER stops here in Shabby Miss Jenn Land! LOL Seriously! The fun never ends! Hmm..maybe we should start charging people! Or maybe have secret passes to the CCC club! It's getting pretty creative and crafty at the same time! LOL
First off...and forgive me but you all will be scrolling up and down between these 2 picture to see what I'm blabbing about-LOL.....soooo much fun in this small lil hick town we live in. Tag Sales, Parades, Carnivals, Dinner with friends, long trips to search for stylish glasses to order for our princess, ponies walking in the street..you name it..it's going on!
Saturday, my mom and I went tag sailing! Just fun! We hit a few antique sales on the way! Scroll down to the cute vintage aqua tole roses tray! :) And then something happened and we miraculously found a huge fabric quilt CHENILLE tag sale! OMG! Heaven girls! We went through boxes and boxes of beautiful chenille scraps! Huge and small, old and new. I snapped a pic of just a few! Seriously...$1 for a scrap of chenille? No way! I love chenille and especially vintage pink chenille! I think this could work into some fun while we quilt on Fridays!
Then we had a blast enjoying our buddies watching the small festive parade! All the cowboys and cowgirls came out to ride their horses and ponies in the street while throwing candy and prizes to all the lil kiddies! Now who would NOT call this fun? LOL Especially with me coming from the bay area! LOL Really..total blast!
Then....later on to the Carnival! It was in no comparison to the fair we just moved away from but it was pretty close. And with our buddies and their kiddies, well that made it one million time more fun! :) Josh begged us to get him on this blue dragon! He loved it. Matt kept saying "This is like Mary Poppins"! LOL When they ride the carousel in the park. And Chayce was so cute that some nice boys gave her free tickets! Then to dinner we all went.
Sunday? Time to rest up! And shop! Get some stuff printed like birthday invites for Chayce's bday. Just other stuff too! Sooooo while I was at this store...I had to nab this cute basket purse with bamboo handles! Just totally reminded me of a purse my grandmother would have used and would have had plenty of candy stashed away in there for us grand kiddies.
And then I saw this cuuuuute cowboy potting bench..and had to snap one of it...So that the Shabby Daddy could make one for the boys..but make it a sitting bench! Sooooo how cute would these be at the end of their beds? Ie for their hats, toys, etc. Maybe I can find some old rusty initials for them too! Just cute!
So on these two cute pics of goodies, I used DDE, SP, Heather Ann, Nancy Comelab, SMJ and RONNA PENNER'S MOST FABULOUS NEW LACE GOODIES AT HER SHOP! Seriously, these are to die for amazing!!!!!!!!! For certain a must have for any shabby chic scrapper! I love them to pieces!
You NEVER let me down with all the fabulous stuff to look at here! Sounds like you had a GREAT weekend - no on to a busy week I am sure! Have a good one!

I wish our little town had fun stuff like this. We have NOTHING. LOL! I sooooooooo hope that you are printing these pages that you create for your blog of your weekend happenings. They are AWESOME and deserve an album of their own... just documenting what's going on in your world right now. These are my favorite "pages" of yours!

What fun stuff! You find the greatest little shops and tag sails. And wow is that lace ever gorgeous. That's going at the very top of my wishlist. Right along with that super real looking ric rac you used once I figure out which shabby designer made that! :) I swear your blog posts should be printed out and put in your albums. :) Hope you're having a great week!
