Treasure Hunting Thursdays: Brunch and Browsing

Hi Everyone!

OMG!! One more day and I'll be on a plane headed to FL for a week! My little sister just had a baby boy and aunties Shavonda and Naomi cant wait to smother him in love!  Oh, and the kids are pretty psyched to be spending spring break becoming besties with the gang over at Disney.  Its going to be a great time. 

Speaking of a great time, I'm here with some more treasure hunting shenanigans. Woohoo! 

So this past weekend Katrina and I got together again for brunch. We met up at at local restaurant for crepes and some good conversation.  She brought her little man, Avery, along and he is stinkin a-dor-a-bul! 

I don't know about your neck of the woods but spring has arrived here in Sacramento. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we took advantage of it. We decided to take a stroll through a small section of midtown and popped into GW along the way.  This guy was begging to come home with me

 



but I had to pass on the shiny 3 ft tall lamp of of a kid in one shoe waiting to drink water out of a vase while standing on a stump?  I did think this emerald and brass Japanese inspired serving set was kinda neat

 

 And I contemplated heavily on this birdcage. 

 

 

I thought it could make a cool planter, but ultimately decided to pass on it.  I also walked around with a white ceramic tea pot for a bout 20 minutes but didn't move on that either.  While I liked a few things nothing really grabbed me so I walked out empty handed.  Katrina scored some really awesome jewelry and a few books. 

After leaving GW we continued our stroll and stopped in a really fun little mid century modern furniture boutique.  Great store. High price tags.  I noticed this light fixture as we walked in.

 

Then I remember seeing one exactly like it about 10 minutes earlier in GW.  This one was selling for almost $100!  Katrina was super sweet enough to go back to GW with me so I could scoop it up.

 

 

 

 

I got mine for only $30!  It's going to make the perfect light fixture over a small game table we plan to put in the corner of the family room. 

 

Sometimes you just have to go back, right?! 

 

It was a great day with great company.  Can't wait for our next adventure. 

 

Have you been on a treasure hunt lately?  Find anything good?   Until next time.....
