SEMI-ANNUAL SWAP MEET!!

We just visited the "GIRLS"

My two awesome Daughters.

It was sweltering in Savannah.

It was time to "get outta town".

When the "GIRLS" and I visit one another, there is always an exchange of goodies. Often it is dinnerware, curtains, furniture. This time a slot machine and a piece of Belleek went to one, French lace curtains and a vintage lace tablecloth to another.

Oh, I always get my share! Remember the turquoise chaise Here! This time I brought back a new/vintage set of dishes. Look for those in a tablescape.

I also brought back a couple of pieces of furniture.

In the midst of all of this mayhem we attended "Aunt Annabel"s 100th Birthday Party" on the Fourth of July. She has always been a real firecracker. Read about that Here!

I was able to post from the road several times. Here and

Here!

Just letting you know we are back!! I will be posting more about our trip and the thrifty finds this coming week. I will be posting about my meeting with an actual

"Blogger Friend". Virtual became reality.

I am linking up with:

Aunt Annabel Taylor

This beautiful lady was born on the "Fourth of July"

Bob and Aunt Annabel

Bob is the little boy at the bottom of the picture and Aunt Annabel is the lady at the right.
She is holding her son Claude.
Aunt Annabel's granddaughter, Courtney, mailed out squares of fabric to family members. They were asked to make these into squares for a quilt expressing some sentiment about Aunt Annabel.
