For just one day the weather here felt like summer.
A day to put on your shorts and your cool summer shirt and of course some flip flops.
I was invited to go on a girls day out for a bit of shopping.
And the day could not have been more perfect.
Kris from Junk Chic Cottage invited me to go out for a girls day of shopping.
When I arrived I was greeted with this beautiful bouquet of roses in this pretty white pitcher.
This Lady knows my style!
I also got a quick tour of her beautiful home.
I knew how beautiful her home was from photos she has shared of her home but seeing it in person let me see how amazing her home is!
If you can even imagine it could be even prettier in person.
Well it is!
Kris took me to Morris Illinois to check out some great junking spots.
We were a bit short of time because I had to get my daughter from school.
But it was enough time to shop in a few stores and them off to lunch at Letty Mae’s.
What a charming tea room! Decorated with vintage finds that are also for sale!
I did not take any photos which means I must go back!
I really wanted to enjoy the day and not get caught up on taking photos.
When we were at the tea shop I spied a cute bench.
Ugh I did not bring it home with me.I sort of regret it .But it was a bit pricy and I was not sure where to put it.
This sweet little tote was a win from Kris’s blog.
The perfect tote to keep in your car that has just about anything you need while you travel or while you are out junking.
This year while I am shopping the sales I will be prepared for just about anything!
Thank you so much Kris it was a pleasure meeting you I am sure we will get out again and do more junking together.
I also wanted to share this pretty blue transferware mug that I won on a giveaway at Martina’s beautiful blog Northern Nesting
Not only did I win this beautiful cup but also a gift card to Marshall’s.
I cannot wait to use this thank you so much Martina!
This is such a busy time of the year for me.
I am trying to get out in my garden and also getting to things that need to be done around here.
My daughter has band concerts…a dance recital and soon in a few weeks she will be out for the summer.
Where did this school year go?
I am doing my best to keep up with all of your sweet blogs.
And now facebook too.
Hope you will join me on facebook and pinterest !

Ann, when my children were in school I always say that May is like Christmas… so very busy!!! How nice that you got away for a few hours to go shopping. Sounds like you had a fun day!
I’m so glad the two of you were able to have a fun day together! I agree that sometimes you just have to live in the moment and leave the camera behind. gorgeous flowers!
Hi Anne,
It was a great day. I was nervous to meet you in person off of blog world but was so glad we finally got together. You are as sweet as you are on your blog. What a fun day we had. Beautiful weather, cute shops and yummy homemade food. Does not get any better than that!!!!! Hope we can get together again soon. Thanks for a lovely girls day out!!! Lot’s of fun.
Kris
PS I think you need to go back and get the cute pink bench. It would look so cute with those chippy pink shutters.
Shopping and tea with a blogging friend…sounds like an ideal day to me! Glad you had fun!
Hi Anne, sounds like you and Kris had a wonderful day. How fun to ‘really’ meet someone that you feel like you know already and congrats on your wins. Some very lovely things…Happy Thursday..Judy
What a beautiful and thoughtful gift and it so you, the pink roses in that white pitcher, oh yeah it’s you. It sounds like you guys had a great time and hopefully will do it again soon. Love the cup you won from Martina, love and am a huge fan of transferware and her blog. Congrats! Have a great weekend.

How fun! I can’t wait to meet Kris in a couple of weeks! 🙂
(And those roses are stunning!)

Lovely pink roses! How fun to be able to spend a day doing that with a friend! I do love the bag you won to keep in the car for junking and thrifting outings! Enjoy your garden. I feel the tug to be out there too. Nancy
That tote is perfect! How smart of you to think to keep it in the car as you really do have all you need in there. Love that little mug, too!
I would love to spend a day with you and Kris shopping. She said Morris was a really cute town. I think you should both get in your cars and drive out to California. Imagine all the fun junking you could do along the way and on a different route back.
How lucky that you got to meet each other – and I just can’t imagine her place any more gorgeous than her photos I’d be on sensory overload LOL
