Last Pink Saturday I shared that fellow PINKIE Jeanne, of Backyard Neighbor, was going to be in our town . . .and we were gonna meet up for a swell visit and a flea market and lunch!!!
Well. . .that all happened and we had such a great time!!!
The flea market was held in front of the shops in Greenwood, MO, a wonderful little town known for its antique stores.
Jeanne (on the left) is shown here with Patty, one of my pals.
She found a bargain with this great old blanket. Bonnie was saying something like: "YES, Jeanne, you NEED that!!!" :) And I guess she did cuz she bought it!! :)
We were shopping the outdoor flea market by 8:00 a.m. It was HOT and muggy, so this indoor shop with it's A/C turned on felt great to us!! I'm telling you how muggy it was cuz that's what happened to my hair do!! It melted!!! :)
At this point we'd been working hard at antiquing and bargain finding. Patty and Jeanne decided to take a little break when they spotted those amazing wicker chairs!!
We ate at the Tea Room located in the Greenwood Antique Mall. . .and it was terrific!!
Jeanne enjoyed her yummy dessert . . .
and so did I!
I hit the jackpot on "finds" that day. It's so much fun when that happens!! Here are just a few of them!!
The fabric piece will be great as a table-covering. . .and I LOVE that country red tiered metal piece!! I can see it used in so many ways. Right now I have it in the middle of my dining room table, atop a great patriotic runner. It holds an Americana looking candle and some red, white, and blue florals (muted colors). A huge crow stands next to it (I found that at another flea market some time ago). The crow sports a little 48 star flag.
I have a "collection" of patriotic glasses going. . .so when Bonnie spied four more I begged her to split them with me. . .and she did!! AND when I spotted that awesome MUTTON BUSTIN' ribbon in patriotic colors. . .and for only $3.00. . .well I snatched that up, too!!
That's not all I hauled home, but I'd better keep the rest hidden from my husband for awhile! :)
I can tell I'm going to have a hard time keeping the MUTTON BUSTIN' ribbon. . .THE STONE RABBIT has taken quite a fancy to it!! He was really happy it didn't say BUNNY BUSTIN'!! :)
My visit with Jeanne was so short, but so very much fun!!! She's just as sweet in real life as she appears to be on her blog!!
Now, for lots more PINK SATURDAY fun, just visit Beverly of HOW SWEET THE SOUND! She will have a long list of other bloggers who are ready to share their PINKS with you this weekend!!
DANA
Happy Pink Saturday, Dana. I knew I would find you here with a smile. You are the best!
I know you girls had a great time. Jeanne is always ready for dessert. She has always told me to eat dessert first. lol Great finds for you. I love that stand.♥
Jeanne is home, but we haven't had a chance to chat.

Hi Dana
How fun that you got to meet Jeanne! I got to meet her at a bloggers lunch a few years ago and she is just as sweet as can be. So nice to see that the stone rabbit is still getting into mischief!

Wow - I didn't see last weeks post so Jeanne's visit was such a surprise. You guys are so lucky! Looks like you hit the ground running when Jeanne got there. Maybe she wasn't there long but you guys did some damage!!! I love all your finds. I got my patriotic stuff out yesterday...on my own up and down the stairs I might add!!(so grateful I can do that) Now I need to hang up my banner which is one of my favorite things! It is so neat and all my sweet circle friends (well, most!) are represented so it's extra special. Love, Nancy

Dana thanks for your visit, I know Jeanne has family near you and I hope one day to visit her too. We had a great time at Sisters and Mom long weekend. One of my sisters is having serious trouble with her liver because of diabetes, they were at my house for the last 7 days going to KU. They are home now but she is still not well. Have a wonderful weekend.

Jeanne is one of my best blogging friends. Never met her in person but feel as I know her. So nice you had an opportunity to get together. Great way to spend the day as well.

Hi Dana, Your post is a perfect expression of our fun day together. The photos made me smile and I liked 'most' of them. HA!. I truly laughed at the one in the wicker chair. I look like I collapsed in the chair with no thought of my unladylike like pose. I admit I was ready to sit for a rest. The whole day was very special to me. A day with a special Pinkie friend. Thank you for a wonderful and fun time with you and your friends. It meant a lot to me.
Your purchases are displayed so well. Next you need to share the rest of your found treasures. Does your hubby read your posts? Smile!
Love,
Jeanne

Sounds like a great day. I'm not sure what mutton bustin' is but The Stone Rabbit looks very dapper sporting the ribbon.

What a great day, with one of my all-time favorite friends!! I wish Jeanne would be passing THIS way sometime.
And what IS Mutton Busting, anyway? Is that anything like Cow Punching?
This lifelong country girl has no idea.
