How was your weekend?
Mine was good.
Well, Saturday was, anyway.
Went to the fabulous City-Wide Garage Sale
in Austin yesterday, which is not so much a garage sale,
as a really nifty collection of vintage sellers offering everything from
vintage clothing to architectural elements to advertising memorabilia
to the kitchen sink...literally!
It's also a great place to connect with old and new friends alike...
{ can't really tell here, but I recently had 8 inches cut off my hair!
I still have enough for the wee-est of ponytails! Oh, and I'm 5'8", people!!! }
I finally got to meet the The Vintage Laundress
herself, LeAnn Stephenson. What a fun gal!
Phone numbers were exchanged,
with plans being made to wreak some Hill Country havoc soon. :-)
And it always feels like home when I reconnect with my sweet friend
Theresa Cano of Garden Antqs Vintage.
We dished about anything and everything,
and I got the top secret 411 on the big blog party
she's planning next monthin Warrenton.
You bet I'll be there!
So yeah, Saturday was good.
Sunday?
The less said about that the better.
My facebook friends need only read my feed
and latest status updates
to catch up on the latest fence drama, as well as
my innermost thoughts about
our less than charming neighbors.
Suffice to say, we are once again in the position of'
having to cough up a grand or so to replace the last
of the existing fencing due to nasty neighbor dogs.
I would say more, but I feel that this blog is much more public
than my somewhat private facebook settings, which are limited
to only friends reading my comments.
I realize that nothing posted on the internet is ever really private
{ well hello, Anthony Weiner! },
but as a rule, I prefer to hedge my bets and keep things a bit
more vague here on ye olde blog.
Two more things:
I have a long awaited, much needed doctor's appointment
this week, so I'd appreciate good thoughts and prayers.
And finally:
We have a winner!!!
The lucky winner of the
is
Laurie at Heaven's Walk!
Send me your contact info and I'll pass it on to Lisa.
Have a happy week!

Good Morning Anne Sweetie...
Well it sounds as though Saturday was a great day. Meeting with old friends and finding good bargains I hope.
Congratulations on your winner. A Bilancia Design Handmade Beauty, what a treasure.
Oh my not a grand? Well I would say shame on those darn neighbors, sounds as though they should be coughing up that money for the damage done.
Please pop by and leave a message for the Miracle Makeover going on through August 18th. Each comment, as last year, Guideposts Magazine will donate a dollar towards the next makeover. We need comments, comments, and more comments. Send your friends by as well.
Many hugs sweet friend. Love, Sherry
I am hoping and praying all goes well with you! It has to, right? So enjoyed our visit and meeting Tom was great. Hope you come back next month to see me again, it would be great to see you before the big shows, but if not you know I will most definately see you at the blog party!!
Sound like the perfect weekend...
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! You look so pretty and so happy in your pictures!!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
Now you know how I feel standing next to almost everyone! te he.
Hair cut? gotta see it! xoxo D
Anne it does sound like you had a great weekend minus Sunday! It is always wonderful to meet up with friends old and new! Hate all the fence drama! Hoping you have a wonderful week.
hugs,
Linda
Congratulations to Laurie on winning those beautiful items! City-Wide Garage Sale sounds awesome. I've been wanting to get out to some sales, but I've promised to clear out a lot of excess "stuff" before I bring anything else home!
I understand about those medical things. I just got some answers to mine on Friday. Just knowing is a relief, so bless you! I'll say a prayer for you!
Congrats to sweet Laurie- she is certainly deserving of your fabulous giveaway!!
xo~

Glad you had a great Saturday to prepare you for the not so great Sunday! I hate it when we have not so wonderful neighbors!!
Congrats to the winner!
Lou Cinda :)
Sounds like you had the good, the bad, and the flat out ugly this weekend! Glad the good won out for the most part!
And congrats to Laurie, what a sweet person to win such a wonderful giveaway!

It is so sad to me that people can be so inconsiderate to their neighbors. We have a couple of doozies ourselves...definitely makes the houses seem much closer together when people think they're the only ones in the neighborhood!!
I am praying for you, Anne, and trusting that your appointment will go well, and that this neighbor thing will soon be resolved.
Hugs to you,
Becky
Sounds fun, Anne! I was born and raised in Austin and I have never been! Need to get over there this fall. Looks like some lovely ladies there!
Hi Anne, the photos of you are so cute and anytime I get to see Theresa is a treat!!! Someday I will be going to her party...I will...I will...
sending hugs...
always a smile....Laurie will love that she won!
8"?? you are so daring!
looks like you had a wonderful time...i bet the "garage sale" is awesome! i must visit the hill country someday...
i bet you feel pretty free with 8 inches gone...let's see that new 'do!
congrats to Laurie!
Saturday looked great by all the smiling faces! Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.

Sorry about the fence and neighbor's dogs harassing yours ( a girl can read between the lines). Hope this improves and you guys can get a privacy fence up. Most importantly...good luck at the doctors this week
Saturday sounded fun! Wish I was there with ya :)
I hope these aren't your NEW neighbors, first impressions and all.
I'll be keeping a good thought for you (for the doctor), I always do :)
Hugs,
Susan
Hope your dr appt goes okay, Anne. And, I know what you mean about the fence...my Rose of Sharon hedge that I posted about recently really has another name between my husband and I...the "I hate you hedge" --so we can block out our neighbors as much as possible. Hope the puppies are doing better! Andrea @ townandprairie
Lot's of good thoughts and prayers for you Anne. So glad you had such a beautiful Saturday!
Have a fabulous week.
Sincerely,
Melinda
Glad to hear about your Saturday...very sorry about the fence stuf. Uuggghhh! Hope it gets resolved for you!
Good thoughts coming your way for your doctors appointment!
I'm so thrilled about winning your sweet giveaway, Anne! Thank you so much!! ♥ Now...about your hair. You WILL be showing us your cute cut, won't you? :) Not that it could make you any darn cuter than what you already are or anything.... lol! And know that I will be praying for a good outcome at your dr's appt. Stay strong and keep the faith, my friend. ♥
xoxo laurie
Hugs and prayers!! neighbors can really be a drag sometimes. i sooooo wish i didn't live in the burbs!!!!!

P~
is there anything better than meeting up with blogging friends?? what a wonderful weekend.
Lucky you...two of my favorite ladies! Did you feel like a small child standing next to LA? She is one good looking tall drink of water.
Deb
P.S. Two words...stone wall!
Sorry you got nasty neighbour issues already. A nice tall fence between you should help. How high can you go? 8 foot?!
Good to hear that Saturday's fun balanced out Sunday's grumps. It's always good to meet up with dear friends.
Congrats to Laurie!
xx
Keeping you in my thoughts for the dr's.

i will pray for you on doc appointment. ;). and for your neighbor situation. good luck
I would love to go to that city wide yard sale! They have got some great dealers set up there!

I feel your fence/neighbor/dog pain. I enjoy your blog and all the neat things we get to see because of your willingness to share. Thanks and hope the week is going well.
Why is it we never get to spend a grand on an emergency vintage shopping trip! ha! Sending you lots of positive thoughts for your upcoming trip to the Docs Anne. xoxo ~Lili
Congratulations to the winner!!!!
Looks like you had a fun time with your friends at the 'garage sale' Anne. That's too bad about the fence and the neighbors dogs...you know what they say about good fences though ;) Things like that make me SO glad we live in the middle of no where. Have a wonderful Thursday!
Maura :)
I will be keeping your doctor's appointment in my prayers, Anne!
