Karen and Sharon's

So last week Tara and I had a WHOLE day together...no kiddos, or anything. We decided to stroll up Hwy 98 in search of some non-patio patio furniture for my new back yard redo. We were also in search of any other fun, vintage, cheap finds that would make us giggle.

In the past we have had great luck at Scavengers in Rose Mary Beach (found my bathroom vanities there.) Sure enough I found a table that reminded me of a farm table (my requirement) and was sturdy enough to sit 6 people around (Jeff's requirement.) Some previous owner had decided it needed the three panels in green, yellow, and pink...not good.

There were major shenanigans getting the table in the car and we ended up stealing a bungee cord from the butt head shop owner who was useless. Anyway, after I paid for the table I asked the butt head if there were any thrift store or junk shop where I could find some cheap chairs. He pointed down the street and told me I go try "Karen and Sharon's" which was right down the street at the next light. We took off for the shop and couldn't find it anywhere. We pulled over and asked another guy who gave us directions, but in the other direction. Still no luck, so we pressed on to Beinvue... another fav place. On the way out we asked the guy if he knew how to get "Karen and Sharon's"..."you mean like the thrift store Caring and Sharing?" Ha! We are a ding dongs! We laughed so hard we snorted all the way to lunch. Caring and Sharing... makes perfect sense.

These totally girly days will not be commonplace after Tara moves in six week and it bites. I am planning a wicked fun party for her going away and we have about 4 projects she has to help me with before she leaves. The pic above is what I think her party will "feel like." Have a I mentioned I LOVE to throw a party? Just ask my staff at work. I'm going to start early so it will be stress free.
