Look What Followed Me Home!

While some of you were up north with Timi, or preparing for Texas, I was at Portland Expo this weekend. On a very tight budget, and alone! I had to carry all my own stuff, Blogland. Hmphhh. Fortunately(??) I couldn't buy every single thing I saw that I loved, so I managed. My husband is still in disbelief that not a single chair or paint-by-number (there were some pretty cool examples, too!) was hidden in the van. I am mad for this incredible plastic bird that I snatched up in the first isle I ventured down. It's probably a store display piece. I won't be keeping it here, but needed some light for the photo. It's standing on a great painted pedestal that I purchased from Kathleen at Faded Charm! She is delightful, and her charm is anything but faded! She had the most amazing architectural pieces, and a too. die. for. blue trunk in her lovely booth. The landscape below was hers too. Just the kind and colors that I gravitate toward. Sidenote: Her lovely daughter was trying to eat lunch as I interrogated her about her school experiences. Sorry. I get a lit-tle carried away sometimes. Like if I'm around people, and/or in public. I have friends who can verify this.... Natalie of Sparrow wandered in, and I had such a great time, visiting with these two talented women!
