I'm sure by now you've figured out how much I love Winter Park, Florida.
We spend out 95% of our date nights there.
This past weekend we ate a delightful brunch at a wonderful place called
The Briar Patch.
We sat outside under the umbrellas and ate the most
This past weekend we ate a delightful brunch at a wonderful place called
The Briar Patch.
We sat outside under the umbrellas and ate the most
divine breakfast that I've had in a long time.
I had a Western Omelet with and a delicious English Muffin.
He had two pancakes, eggs, toast and bacon.
Best.Bacon.Ever.
We hit some garage sales while we were in Winter Park, and let me just say that...
We scored again!
We found two glass lamp bases from the 60's that look very similar to the ones at Pottery Barn.
The lady said she wanted $2 for each of them.
Apparently, she had no idea that the glass lamp bases from the 60's are BACK in high demand!
We picked up two lamp kits from Joann Fabrics and two lamp shades from Walmart.
We also had to pick up the rod going down the middle that holds the cord.
No worries. We're gonna paint the rods...not liking the "brassiness" of them.
We're also going to add shells or a bird's nest in the inside base of it.
Don't you think that'll look better?
We also found the two old glass milk containers and the small bread board.
I think we spent $6 at the garage sales and another $45 for the lamp materials.
I love dating my husband.
Some seasons of life are easier than others, but we always try to make it happen.
Dates make us better partners, better parents, better people.

ok, first of all - what a score. I'm glass lamp envious. I have one that i got from Homegoods, should have bought both and didn't so now my bedroom is lopsided. sigh.
ReplyDeleteI've got seashells and sea glass in it. Not really super excited about how it looks though.
I haven't been to Briarpatch in ages - it's awesome - do they still have the ice cream case in the front?
it's me btw - sheri - it's still attaching my rent blog.http//www.thesimasek-kiblerproject.blogspot.com

Date nights are sooo important, we try to make sure we have them but it seems like life is always against them. I think I will plan a date for this weekend, thanks for the reminder.

I love Briar Patch and Winter Park in general! My fiance and I love the farmer's market on Saturday mornings- we'll stop by Palmano's and get coffee and just walk around! My friend and I may be headed to the Briar Patch for brunch tomorrow before going to see Sex and the City 2. I need to plan to check out some garage sales in that area!
ReplyDeleteLove your lamps...what a great find. How did you cut the hole in the glass for the wire?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
WOW I love your lamps! My hubby and I have had our eye our for some bases just like those to make into lamps. Such a great find!
ReplyDeletep.s. I like them as is without anything in them!
A wonderful date indeed! Love your shopping finds. Happy weekend!

Aawwwwww breakfast and brunch are my FAVORITE!! That would be the perfect date for us too! And you scored BIG on those lamps and your other goodies!! Love it :)

Wow! Look at the steals you got, and in my own backyard. *winking* That is so awesome, I love all your items. Your bedroom looks so warm and cozy, you did a great job with the lamps.
ReplyDeleteI must get out more often on Fridays instead of Saturdays for yard sales. The past few weeks have been a bit huge bust. LOL.
I've eaten at Briarpatch a few times, they usually have pretty good food.The service- not so much. Park Avenue is so much fun. So glad you got out for a date.

God has blessed you with the finds, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteWinterpark sounds wonderful. I was just asking my oldest what she wanted to do this summer and she said go to garage sales:) Made me smile inside. You found the mother lode with those glass lamps. Just beautiful.
