Guess who I hung out with this week-end?
These two…
Yeah, it was as awesome as it sounds.
Kim and I had met a couple of times before but this was my first time meeting Cindy. She was brave enough to drive down from Minn-e-sota to spend the week-end with Kim and I in the Quad Cities. I’m glad she did because we had lots of fun. I feel like these two are friends from college or something. Who knew blogging would lead to new real life friends? Not this weirdo who previously thought everyone on the internet was a serial killer. They are both great and it’s so nice to talk house stuff with people who are equally passionate about houses/DIY.
We were all horrible bloggers and didn’t photograph our adventures. Seriously. Bloggers without photos. The shame.
Friday night was an action packed evening at my house. We made cookies, ate pizza, and talked….a lot. And it was wonderful. Ike put on quite the show…as expected. On Saturday we spent the day thrifting, browsing, eating, and snuggling Kim’s pugs.
Kim’s husband did take our only group photo after a long day on Saturday. Lola didn’t think it was necessary for me to stand for this photo. Or could I no longer stand from shopping so much. I’ll let you decide.
What did I find on our adventures? Not a lot but what I did find was beautiful. Vintage Pyrex makes my heart go pitter-patter. Pyrex is becoming a problem in my life.
These pieces will join others I received at Christmas…
The blog will be lame again this week because I have been neglecting my house and having fun without it. BUT I have ideas a brewing, items on order, painting in progress. Stick with me through the lame. There will always be cute Ike pictures to get us through…
Was your week-end as awesome as mine? Have you met fellow bloggers? Are you up to meeting other bloggers? Any fellow Pyrex addicts out there?
Love those Pyrex dishes! I've been looking for some of those blue ones for awhile, but haven't come across any.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool that you've met your blog friends in real life, who woulda thought?
aw that looks like SO much fun!!! i love meeting fellow bloggers in real life! and love your dishes!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a boatload of fun! Super jealous of your vintage Pyrex finds and pug snuggle time.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer to you guys, I would have totally crashed :P
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love the vintage Pyrex also especially the pale blue!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was definitely as awesome as yours. Ha! Oh man, so much fun. That last picture makes me want to come back down for some more Ike snuggles! And I'm still loving the black pyrex, I'm glad you got that one.
ReplyDeleteAww, makes me want to do the weekend all over again!!
Where do you go thirifting in the QC? I must go.
ReplyDeleteWhere didn't we go?
DeleteWe started by wandering the streets of Le Claire. We headed out to Coal Valley. We checked out the new-ish Estate Sale shop on Brady. Stuff. And both Salvation Armies.
Hey some of us are still serial killers! Don't be giving weird internet people good names! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage Pyrex! I haven't met up with any bloggers yet, but I really hope to one day!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with all of that vintage pyrex goodness!
ReplyDelete-Diana
Looks like you ladies had a blast! I hate that I'm up here in Boston with so few bloggers to make friends with! One day though... one day! And, of course, you know we'll ALWAYS stick around for Ike pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous :-( Looks like a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of your Pyrex. I love them!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun this weekend. Can't wait to see what's next on your painting agenda.
Sounds like a BLAST!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys had fun! Shopping, yummy food, good company, and cute dogs? Sounds perfect. I would love to meet fellow bloggers some day, especially awesome ones like you! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the Pyrex pieces your scored!
so jealous!!! sounds like it was a blast! if i had to pick 3 bloggers to hang out with, it would be you three....too bad i live about a zillion miles away :(
ReplyDeleteI love vintage pyrex I have a bunch that has been handed down through generations, and now whenever I can find & afford more I do.
ReplyDeleteI am dying for some vintage pyrex AND I have a wh fox terrier (evidence here in sadly negelected blog: http://kelliebelle.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/lazy-weekend/ )! How have I not found your blog before? Thanks Kim!!
ReplyDeleteThose pyrex pieces are adorable! I haven't met any bloggers that I didn't know in real life before, although I've only been doing the whole blogging community thing for a month...so...baby steps. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I am up for meeting other bloggers. It's funny how I really feel like I "know" some bloggers, without ever having met them in real life. I wonder, though, if Ted Bundy had a blog? :P
ReplyDeleteNOT. fair. That sounds like exactly a perfect weekend, AND you got vintage pyrex as a keepsake? Whatever, friend. I don't have any vintage pyrex to show for my weekend. Lame.
ReplyDeleteSome of my best friends are blog friends! I think I'm addicted to meeting blog friends. I hosted a blog meetup last fall and had about 9 girls come to Philly, it was amazing. I'm determined to do it every year. Although, after visiting with Kim for the weekend last summer, I've become sort of posessive of her so I'm obviously very jealous. Creeeeepy eh? Ha.
ReplyDeletebtw, your hair? Perfect. Stop.
So glad you had fun!! Sounds like a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm hoping for a blogging get together to meet some peeps. Looks like a great weekend and some awesome finds as well! Thrifting and blogger friends, what more do you need?
ReplyDeleteSee, we're not all serial killers. Remember that you have a blogging friend you can visit in Seattle if you ever make it out here. I attempted to meet local bloggers, but it never panned out. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to blog my pyrex, I love thrift stores and go in hunt of the rare find. Pyrex is one of them. I have the top piece and one of the last bowls.
ReplyDeleteVintage pyrex = super cool. If I didn't have so much new stuff from our wedding I would be collecting them myself! I think it's super cool you are making bloggy friends IRL friends. I'm sure you girls had a blast!
