Flip the Switch

This past weekend was the monthly Scott Antique Market in Atlanta and being the awesome friend that I am I decided to take Heather from TwentySomething as she had never been before. Even though it has changed over the years since I was there last we did get LOTS of inspiration ideas. I think we spent less than $10.00 ea during the whole visit but let me tell you  --- some of those vendors REALLY like their items(if you know what I mean)
We also decided to swing by Anthropologie on the way home because well - who doesn't love that store??

One thing that I kept seeing at both places was unusual lighting fixtures. Lighting is not something I generally notice but Beth from The Stories of A to Z recently posted about Basket Lighting so it seemed I was seeing it all over the place.



Here are some other items, besides Lights, that caught my eye.


1. I totally want this for my home office! :)
2. Not a real clock, but the size and color -- fabulous!!!
3. Vintage Paper Roll - Loved it!
4. Books -- the next DIY project with Heather!


1. Keys -- I adore Keys!
2. Awesome old Pharmacy Desk(still had the labels inside the vertical drawers)
3. Loved this postal desk 
4. These vines balls were cool -- I could so see hanging a light bulb inside one!

Needless to say it was a fun trip despite the crazy prices of things!

Heather was overcome with happiness.
She also had one of those "lightbulb" moments hahahaha


My fave Anthropologie finds of the day.

1. Love these chairs
2. I am doing this -- once I find a big enough basket haha
3. Teapot Lamp -- adorable!
4. Letter Graveyard -- I could hear them *silently* screaming Buy Me Buy Me!
Can't wait to see what the next H and R Adventure holds!

Christmas without a tree....

Well hopefully not -- However, I did have to totally remove everything from our tree due to it's untimely demise this week. We have only had it about 9 days and it always had a full bucket of water but for some reason it simply withered away :(

So for the time being we are treeless at the Boling Abode. This is in part due to the dead tree, the snow and now ice that we have had all week. Hopefully the Sun will shine tomorrow, dry things out a little, and we can go find a new tree. I am missing my late nights sitting by the fire with just the Christmas Lights as company!!
 
Here are some trees I found to ogle at until we get our new one.


This is my fave -- it is Em at Bloomingdale's in Chicago last weekend :)
