OH TARGET HOW I LOVE THEE... gps how I hate thee





Oh road trips- gotta love them- 4 crazy canadians well 3 and one american- going over the border driving 6 hours to go to target- thats dedication- yes we each had our own cart-yes we all had hot coco's- yes brooke and I tried on dresses while still shopping so we'd have more time- and got stopped by security- HAAAA- we quickly explained we just wanted to take everything in and see as much as possible as quickly as possible. The hotel was awesome pool sauna hot-tub and it was so relaxing to sleep in..till 8 :)
Literally 4 hours at target- so many treasures- I've missed it so much - we also had some awesome mexican food!

The driving was a little crazy we trusted the gps-
not doing that again
It led us to the wrong border... that was closed-
down gravel roads and into a canyon with no side barriers-
we saw wild horses- 4 crazy dogs -
sang in the car-
payed duty-
went to antique stores-
got chocolate melted on buts-
drove in a snow storm-
laughed so hard-
didn't get home till like 2 am-
andddd
it was legendary-
might have to be a yearly tradition-
may I say these pictures of Ingred make me laugh so hard.

My major treasures... a 1940's pink felt hat EEEEKKKK! and a scalloped red cake stand!

antiquing anyone?


so you know what makes me extremely excited
A ROAD TRIP!
4 of my dear friends and I are going to Kallispell Montana to shop this weekend-

I know what your thinking Kalispell- but oh people there are treasures to be found. On the way thereis a place called Nanton- famous for antiques-http://www.antiquesinnanton.com

Check out this link to see the cute little shops and info on when they are open ect... And keep it in mind if your ever on the hunt for an old treasure and happen to be driving through alberta.
Can you imagine 4 of us antiquing together without
having to pick up bottles and animal crackers.

HEAVEN!

The possibilities of what we can paint white will be endless!
Did I also mention Target and mexican food- oh how I love thee- and 4 giggly girls in a hotel room- yeah we're not gonna sleep-I'm pumped!

Stay tuned for updates on treasures.
My goal is to find a vintage dress form eek!!!!
