antiques market!

Last Friday, my friend Megan emailed me and told me she wanted to visit the Lucketts Antique Store Spring Market, and you know me, I'm always up for some outdoor shopping!  We were blessed with a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, and the only snafu was that we had to park in a big muddy field that smothered my car in dirt.  But one quick car wash took care of that!

These guys played for the shoppers allll day, and they were awesome!

Please excuse the lack of production behind these photos... I took them hastily in case any of the vendors wouldn't like it and then I didn't edit them.  But you get the idea.

The market also had a cute little lunch area, and I had an amazing crab cake sandwich!

Megan got this giant hot dog that was definitely worth documenting.

Cutest. bed. ever.  Any girl who wouldn't feel like a princess in this bed needs a lobotomy.

This girl is ALWAYS a princess.

And in addition to suggesting this fabulous event, she even followed me to Michaels afterward so I could pick up supplies for Clara and Bob's engagement pictures.  What a priceless friend she is!

At the market, I ended up buying an old nightgown from the '60s that I'll probably snazz up with a belt and a structured jacket to make it look less nightgown-y, and it might need a little tailoring, too.  But it was only $24!  And we also stumbled across this old tobacco can that had "Sir Walter Raleigh" printed on the outside, and Megan just picked it up and bought it for me (for $5!) because she knows my obsession with my hometown.  I'll probably take it to work and put little flowers in it.

On a completely unrelated note, iTunes is knocking it clear out of the park with the free downloads this week!  If you haven't checked them out yet, do it now!  My personal favorite is this song by Tedashii, a Christian rapper who might have earned a coveted spot on my replay list.  I'm normally not into Christian rap (I mean, come on, I need a lot more Lil' Jon in my life), but this one has a pretty nasty beat.  Yes, I just said that, and yes, I'm still super white.
