Thursday and Friday

So since I bored you with my Monday to Wednesday a few weeks ago, I figured I should fill you in on my Thursday and Friday of that week, since I am sure you are all sitting at the edge of your seats to find out how the rest of week was. hahaha

Thursday - My good friend Erin came over that Thursday for dinner. I had mini heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market I wanted to use so I made a quick tomato salad (basically the same way I make bruschetta - just less strong).

Erin did the rest of the cooking that night and dinner was so good! Healthy fresh and very very yummy!

She sauteed some zucchini and squash, also from the farmers market.

And she made Salmon. She made it on top of the stove, but I made basically the same thing for my parents last week and I baked it in the oven, so you can do it either way! : )

She used dill, lemon basil and parsley all cut up fine and mixed together, pine nuts, garlic, then sauteed it up with a tiny bit of butter, olive oil and fresh lemons.

And a little bread, add a little wine and dinner is served! Thanks for cooking Erin!

Friday- Friday was a delightful day, my coworker and I ended up having a impromptu lady day (on company time! haha) We were out in a rural town doing some site work. We headed to a cute downtown to grab some lunch, and decided to actually stop a real restaurant rather than eat a sandwich in the car. : )

Photobucket

And right next to where we parked just happened to be 2 cute antique shops! haha So we might have "accidentally" stumbled in on our way back to the car.

How fun are these, old playground toys!

This chest needed to be completely re-finished, but was a really nice piece with really nice detailing. (Mickey, I love you as much as the next girl, but you don't belong on furniture!)
And I really liked that dresser.


Photobucket


These were nice pots, if they were filled with annuals near a nice pool! : )

This is the type of table I am looking for for the living room, but I need it short, not tall. But I like the simple spindle legs and how the piece isn't over powering. Just need to find a short one, with perhaps a round top.

This picture isn't that great, but these mugs were awesome. This fun leaf pattern in these great shades of blue and green.

I have been wanting a little antique silver soon for my sugar bowl, and this place had a box of $3 spoons! Jack pot! These were the ones we narrowed it down to. I wanted all of them, but I didn't need all of them!

Photobucket

So I went with the 2nd on in from the left, and I did get the larger serving spoon too. For $3 I figured it was ok. : ) Now I need to get some silver polish.

It was a good Thursday and Friday!
