Brunch for Four

This morning the boys and I were invited by Marci from over at The Old Oak Cottage to enjoy brunch with her at Poppy's Tea Room. It is an adorable little cafe/bistro/shop in Huffman Tx.

This is Kathye the owner and she is just as adorable and a great hostess!

There are I think 6 little rooms here all with different names that you can choose to dine in. This was our room and I think it was called The Paris Room. There is even a hot pink room that is just perfect for a little girls birthday party.

Super yummy scones and muffins and fruit!

Don't these quiches look yummy too!? After we brunched Marci and I chatted a bit about her upcoming trip to the Atlanta Market. I can not wait to see what she comes back with!

Afterwards we shopped a bit. Kathye has some wonderful treasures all around! I really wanted this mirror and for just $60 I thought it was a good deal. I may have to check back for it in a few weeks. The frame is just to die for. I can see it sitting on our fireplace mantle can't you!?

Vintage wedding dresses.

I also love this pair of Victorian frames. They were $40 for the pair which I thought was not bad but still a bit more than I wanted to spend on them. I may be checking back for those as well!;)

 I did bring this home. I love me some chunky ornate frames and was excited when I saw it was only $12! Oh the possibilities this lil' frame holds!

Sorry the pictures were not the best quality. I forgot my camera and the cell camera was just not happy. If you head over to Kathye's FaceBook page she has much better pictures!

Poppy's Tea Room is so very delightful and definitely worth a visit if you live in the area. If you do stop by tell Kathye Pamela sent ya!:)

Thank you Marci for inviting us! We had a great time and thank you Kathye for being such a great hostess!

So what have you been up to today?

 Linking up to Treasure Hunt Thursday over at Rhonda's!

Also linking up over at Rhoda's for Thrifty Treasure Highlights!

Busy weekend

Hey ya'll! It has been a non stop super busy weekend. I guess I need to get use to it seeing as we are officially in holiday mode now. Neighbors around the corner from us just started putting up lights today and we actually saw a Christmas tree thru somebodies window!

I honestly was having a hard time getting in to the holiday spirit but after going to the Nutcracker for the first time with an old friend I think things are begining to look a lot like Christmas! Ha! I had a blast and am so glad Stephanie invited me. I have to admit I was a very bad blogger. I took only one pic and it was with my IPhone. Stephanie is not a blogger and does not know I blog so I did not want her thinking I was some kind of weirdo taking fifty million pics seeing as that was our first play date and all without kiddos! Ha! There were soooo many beautiful booths there and actually some said no picture taking! We arrived at 10 and left a little before 5. Made one trip to the car to unload and then headed back in.

I got a few neat things. An old timey Santie Claus that I am going to attempt to make a wreath around for our front door. Another Christmas decoration and then a really pretty wrought iron wind chime for the yard as well as a wrought iron chandy. The chandy had me at Hello! Ha! It was the one thing I just HAD to have! I will take a pic tomorrow and show it to ya'll!

I also ventured out to The Old Oak Cottage Christmas Open House and Antiques on The Lawn today. It was wonderful but I will share all about that in another post. All I will say is it brought on some change of plans for the dining room!;)

Have a great start of the week!

Treasure Filled Thursday

Wow today has been a very busy day! We were up bright and early waiting on the air tech to get here. The fourth bedroom down stairs had no air flow what so ever. No fun for the in laws when they were here. Sorry Nana & Papa! We also were waiting for the delivery men to bring our treasures we found last weekend.

We purchased this. We wanted a full entertainment center but our cut out was too short for all the ones we liked. It is not top quality as somebody close to me pointed out lovingly but I love the look of it and later down the road I can always paint it since it is solid pine. I am going to switch out the knobs and then stencil something on the doors. Just a little something to make it come to life and not look so ordinary. Any ideas? I am going to use the drawers for candles probably since hubby wants all the movies up in the movie room.

It will go here. This is our cut out. Look at all those cords. They have been taunting me since the day we moved in.

Then we purchased this at the same time. I love the dark wood stain and how rustic it looks. It has a drawer in the front and the top lifts up on the back for more storage. Think it looks nice with Tobacco Road on the wall behind it??

This one will be heading upstairs to the game room. I purchased her many many moons ago at Havertys. Geez that probably was 9 yrs ago and the funny thing is that she still sells new in stores! We love her and she has suited her purpose very well. I bought her with every intention of future toy storage and since she does do such a great job at it we will keep her.

Now I had been trying to talk hubby into this Thomasville side table at Target. I LOVE the color and the turned style legs and the shelf at the bottom. I just need one and it will replace the PB end tables we have had just as long as the coffee table. They too will go up to the game room. Anyways, I was able to take it down off the shelf the other day and she seems kinda short and I did not really want to pay $148 for her.

Look what I found today on the local yard sale site! A pine end table and they had exactly one! They wanted $25 for her but when I got there in a torrential downpour she was in a little worse shape than the pic shows so I offered $20. She now sits out in the garage waiting to be cleaned up and made to be beautiful! I am not decided on whether to stain her dark or to paint and distress her black. I am thinking maybe black...

Also today while on the local yard sale site I saw a business posting for a little gift shop called The Old Oak Cottage. I loved what she showed in the pics she had posted so me and the boys hopped right in the mini and headed over there. It did not exists when we lived here last. Silly me forgot the camera so the next time I go I will take plenty of pics of all the pretties these ladies have to offer! If you live in the area it is definitely worth a trip! These are a few of the pretties that I actually brought home. Little birdie will get a makeover sooner or later. I could not pass her up for under $5!

Remember these?? Well after we got home I went back out in the garage and worked on them and the chandy. I had to purchase a differ color for the chandy because I did not like how she was turning out and now I love it!
Here is a sneak peek at the progress. I can not wait to finish um off and bring um in the house!

So there ya have it, our day full of treasures! Hope your day was as treasure filled as ours whether it be with pretties or just time with your family and friends! Have a good one ya all!
