A Local Affair...

It's a been a while! Too long of a while. This past weekend in Nashville there was something for everyone. My Brother and sister in law came to visit me. I took them to the local flea market that comes once a month and these are the high lights of our trip.

If I could, I would....

Have a Second Hand Sally Mobile! And this is what it would look like:

My Inner Hippie is out....

...and it really heals my soul. It's easy to get wrapped up and packaged and shipped to this part of your life to the next, to the next. That breaks my heart. and soul. and times like these should be enjoyed more often. Note to self.

I love Color!

Especially this time of year. The green's are greener, the blue's bluer, and the reds are redder. It just puts me in a really happy place. These things make me happy too!

Fam, Sand, & Seafood.

It was a perfect opportunity to go home to {Mobile} Alabama for Easter to see my family. Off on Good Friday, so I'm heading out today at Noon. My mom went to the beach yesterday. And my dad will come down on Friday. So, to Orange Beach, here I come. Oh I can't wait to see them. They are my heart. My brothers should be down there too. It will be amazing to all be together. The last time was Christmas. And! I can't wait to eat so much seafood I bust my buttons! I hope it doesn't rain, a chance of which is forecasted, but I'm hoping to bring the sunshine with me. The weather is beautiful in Nashville right now. Can't wait for the drive! Windows cracked, wind in my hair, and love on the stereo! Happy Easter!!

2nd Stop Glendale, KY

Or as we liked to call it, Mayberry. We saw a sign for the Antique District and took the exit. We came upon the most picture perfect town complete with "The Whistle Stop Cafe"(Fried Green Tomotoes anyone?? Secret's in the sauce I hear.) and "Bennie's Barn Anitique Mall". The town is known for it's historic charm and antique shops all within walking distance of each other(http://www.historicglendale.com/). We didn't know that then, but we do now! We parked, and headed along the brick sidewalk with our heads spining left, right, up, down, so we didn't miss a thing. They had some wonderful collections to take in and great things to inpire. My only regret is not snagging those precious antique kitchen utencils with the chipped turquoise wooden handles. I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of them. But enough about that! Here are some beauties we did snap. We love you Glendale!

1st Stop: Senora, KY

Our first stop was Senora, KY. So we stopped for gas and saw a weathered wood sign "Antiques: 7/10 mi --->". Duh, we headed straight for it. 7/10 of a mile and one right turn, we reached a little piece of heaven. When we turned down Main Street, my heart fluttered. We headed into the only antique shop open. When we walked into "This Old Attic", three grampa farmers were warming themselves by the wood burning furnace. Gale, the shop owner introduced himself and showed us around. Ugh, he was so cute! I bought a charming embroidered pillow, a salt and pepper set-complete with three little shakers and tray, some tobacco spear's(I'll explain later), and a weathered blue bucket. Laurel, my Skipper as we lovingly named her, got a perfect turquoise chair and three turquoise metal bowls. Thanks Gale, we love you!

All Aboard!!!!

So! Second Hand Sally is taking it's Maiden Voyage!!!

Lindsay here! Laurel and I are packing and heading to Louisville, KY tomorrow. We decided in the beginning of the year that would would go on treasure hunting road trips. Yes, this is just the first of many. I started SHS, because of my love for all things Vintage. The inventory is growing daily and the Etsy shop is soon to be announced.

Stay tuned for pics!

Love, Sally (hehe)
