Good Morning, Blogland Friends!~~~
Yesterday was a morning til night packed with fun kind o' day with my BFF Suzy! The highlight was our visit to just north of Raleigh, North Carolina to the fab-u-lous SuzAnna's Antiques!
Did I say it was raining? Did that deter me, and uber awesome Suzy (who drove the whole 3 hours down and back!)? No way! Our greeting was nothing short of feeling like you were a celebrity!
(from left to right) Linda (the "heart" of Suzanna's), Jenny (co-owner and delightful artist), Suzie (co-owner, mom to Jenny, and all around sweetheart), and my BFF Suzy.
And let's not forget who else was there...MARY! She is a Raleigh resident and visits SuzAnna's every week--lucky! She has a wonderful blog, and it was so nice to meet her! This sweetie gave Suzy and I gifts of gorgeous hankies! AND then Suzie and Jenny gave us the cutest springtime baskets with an adorable egg photo holder, seeds for spring planting and a gorgeous bouquet of beaded posies!
Well, I need to show you this wonderful, magical. place. There are a lot of pictures, so come along!

Pretty dish with one of Jenny's oh-so creative ways to display vintage trim!

Beautiful blues!
Here's Jenny! Doesn't she look lovely in her springtime hat?
Run to the children's section!
Ooh la la!

Isn't Jenny clever? These spoons are here wonderful creation! She talks about them here!
Caught Suzy on her phone!
Vintage wallpaper hanging on a wall--I want it!
Here is my loot! Some of the things I picked up at a few places on the way to SuzAnna's, but MOST of it is from there! I can't tell you how wonderful this place is, and pictures don't do it justice. You HAVE to see for yourself! You need to make a special trip! It is well worth it!
On the drive back to Suzy's house, we stopped in the NC town of Warrenton, and found this delicious vintage clothing boutique run by Bobbi!
Let's go inside...
Oh WOW!!!! Can you stand it? Bobbi has artfully arranged her delightful vintage wares in the coolest old store! You MUST go see for yourself! And on the way out this awesome statues says "so long!"
North central North Carolina is a very VERY wonderful antiquing destination! Now to head home from this glorious weekend with my BFF Suzy. Hope you all enjoyed our adventure. Now, go find an adventure for yourself!~~~XXOO, Beth
