Vacation, Antique Shopping & Flea Markets

I did share in my last post that me and the hubbie went away on vacation in celebration of our Anniversary. We went to Branson Missouri for seven days. Let me confess that I had already stalked out some shopping spots, seven days without shopping almost impossible for me. Yes we did have a great time and went to see New Shanghai Acrobats it was such an amazing show.
The hubbie snapped this picture before we went into the show. Check out that chick on the poster behind me she really know some tricks.

On our anniversary we went on the Branson Landing Princess for a nice dinner cruise. Because it was our anniversary we got special treatment from the staff, and the food & wine was excellent.
Such a beautiful ship.
I cannot swim so I had to first find out were the life jackets were kept.
Check out that fabulous house in the background (no it's not mine)dang!!

We went out for a scrumptious lunch at Cantina Laredo Mexican Restaurant, OMG. Ok another confession I love yes love Mexican foods and the table side guacamole was delicious. We feasted on Taco De Pescado(Mahi-Mahi)and the Mango Margarita was off the chain!! After expressing to the hostess how great the food was, he gave me & the hubbie free gift cards to the restaurant, well there is not a Cantina Laredo in Chicago yet but one will be opening in late August.(Yay.)True saying a close mouth won't get fed. I highly recommend this restaurant if it is in your city, so check out their website for locations.

Ok now to the shopping.... Missouri have so many antique malls and flea markets so I had to make my round. I even hit a couple of my favorite stores while I was there. I snapped a couple of pic's of some of the things I saw and fell in love with.
Kirklands Mirror($79.00 dollars and I had a coupon)I didnt purchase it we needed the space in the truck.
Two beauties at T.J. Maxx
Cute I must say.(No that man in the background is not with me).
A side view she is truly stunning.
The Doublemint Twins, so cute.
These babies are fabulous.
Lovely at $39.00 each.
Another confession I love flowers, these were at a antique market so I grabbed eight of these prints to frame. What a steal at $4.00 each and they were all in very good shape.
A close up of that gorgeous house again, could you live there?
I also visited on of my favorite stores Belk, which is only in the South but I purchased some nice dresses on sale. I love this store they always have great sales. Sorry for the long post... but I missed you guys. I will be sharing my upcoming project later this week and I need you guys help.
Enough said,
Lo
