Got this French lamp shade from The Treasured Hunt. J'adore!Some of you already know this, but for the past few weeks I've been feeling really under the weather and I've gone through the full gamet of medical help that's available. Trust me, I even went to the ER. Everything is okay in terms of me physically, it just turns out that I am really, really stressed out and my body is suffering because of it.
Hopefully I didn't get too debbie-downer here, but the point of sharing that with you is that I have amazing family and friends who really cheer me up. Case in point, this past weekend we celebrated a friend's wedding and I just had a great time! And that would've been plenty of fun for me for the weekend, but nope, the fun didn't stop there. Sunday was a blast too because it was Sunday Funday. It's what a group (Great Gatsby Gang) of us call the Sundays that we all hang out together. And yes, we call ourselves the Great Gatsby Gang because we just love having fun together.
I should say that Sunday Funday didn't start with the whole gang together, just the girls. And we took advantage of the fact that we didn't have the guys there cause we went shopping! I have been dying to get the girls to go to some of the Tag sales around the DC/MD/VA area and they were finally able to come with me this time. Nothing like retail therapy, I tell ya. We went to Chartreuse & Co in Frederick, MD and got some real great finds. Here are a some of the items I was able to snag.

The zebra print fabric sold me.
A fabulous letter/bill holder from Madison & Mabel. It'll look great in the office to house all those pesky bills.
Fabulous store in downtown Frederick called Tiara Day is where I got this purple vintage French book.Tiara Day also sells their goods at Chartreuse & Co which is how we found out that they have a store in downtown Frederick. If you have never been to downtown Frederick, please please go. It is a fabulous area filled with all of these wonderful shops and restaurants and I am just dying to go back there asap.
Hey Great Gatsby Gang, when are we going there next?

i'm all about old books. unfortunately, when i read them, they sometimes fall apart at the seams.
I know what you mean. You don't want them to fall apart in your hands ;) Sadly, I just use them as decorative items and not really for reading.
