98 degree heat, concrete, shopping, and seven year old girls don't mix.
How do I know?
I took my youngest daughter with me to the Nashville Flea Market on Friday and left after an hour and a half. The heat, the walking, the people were more than she could take.
I did find a few things that I had to have (actually wanted).
LOVE my bench!!!
Got a shopping cart for Faith that she had eyed. (it will be great for yardsaling and flea markets for mama)
See my little little wooden door back there? Why do I love that little thing so much? Really...I just think that it is great. It's the perfect size with the perfect little rusty lock on it. It will not be painted, just cleaned up a little before it comes inside and takes it place in a perfect spot.
Yes, I love these things also.
For a very quick trip, I think I did pretty good. What do you think?
Oh yeah, and I bought a very small lemonade for Faith that cost $3.00. Good grief at the price, but it got me a few extra minutes of shopping so it was worth it.
Linking up over at Southern Hospitality.

Great finds, once again. I love the drawer the best. It looks like the drawer to an old sewing machine. Is that what it is?
$3.00 lemonade. Hrmph... so glad the shopping was worth it though.
You found such pretty and unique things Amy!
I just adore the old drawer. Very cool.
Have a blessed day.

Shopping in the heat is good for kids. It builds character. lol :)
You got another load of amazing treasures! I love the bench too!! The little drawer with the design on the front is pretty cool too!
ooh! I love that bench, too! Reminds me of the beach, which is far, far away from here!
Love the bench and the sewing machine drawer.
I love finding the drawers to use in my workroom. I just paint them white and shabby them up a bit.
I love all your finds. You did well in that short period of time. I know what you mean about this awful heat and humidity.

You did very well for such a short time! I love them all but espcially the bench! xx
You did great!! Love the drawer and the crystal door knobs. I'll take some of your heat over our never ending rain and cool temps!

You did a good fine indeed, I have my daddys old tool chest he made in 7th grade I love it and it is a prize possession of my husbands too, just love those old things, that drawer reminded me of his box. Hugs
Wow! All that in such a short time? You know how to do it right! I sooooo want to go to a flea market!
Oh my I want the bench. Gorgeous.
I love all that wooden stuff - great texture, colors, etc. And the sewing machine drawer(?) how cute! Linda
Amy! I picked up that same drawer at a flea market while on my trip to Bar Harbor, was going to blog about it in the next day or two! And I love that bench! Great finds
3 bucks for lemonade! but they had a captured audience and it did buy you time as well.
The doorknob is a great find.
I love that you are not painting everything white. Shabby Chic does not have to be whitewashed. (oooh the hate mail I will receive)
Sweet finds!! Love the bench, I'm looking for one just like it.
I sure love old stuff...that door knob is awesome. COme check out my party, you may be interested in it.
