Simple and Serene Living: shopping on a Monday

shopping on a Monday

I can't believe it is Monday again. Where does the time go. I have been so wrapped up with physical therapy and doing my exercises, I haven't gotten a whole lot done this last week. I am walking with a cane now, although still with pain, but I am so happy to be done with the walker and able to drive again. I took my first solo drive to the library yesterday. I felt like a sixteen year old with a new license. FREEDOM!!!

Since today is Monday, I have been doing a bit of window shopping on Etsy. Wish I could buy all of these fabulous goodies. Maybe one of these will strike your fancy.

Don't forget to click on the price below the item to see it on Etsy and the shop name to see other wonderful things the seller is offering.

Vintage embroidered cutwork lace linen blouse

$45 from Fabulous Mess Vintage

wooden cedar basket

$35 from Rig and Twig

vintage french country pitcher

$38 from The Farmhouse Co

vintage wood box with handle

$42 from Rustic Wren Antiques

and I thought I would sneak in a pillow from my shop (after all, a girl has to make a living)

$40 from ImSoVintage

There's so many nice things I'd love to have. I rarely ever buy clothing, just things for the house or yard. But my spending is frozen right now...

These are all so amazing... but I would get your pillow case if I had the dollars for it, like right now... but I DO NOT. Ask me again in about 6 months when my blog takes offf. LOL. No, really. Hey congrats on being able to drive again. Isn't that the best feeling ever?

Beautiful items! I think I need a shopping trip like this! How are you doing hon? Sounds like you're getting around pretty well. Sorry if I missed an update on FB but since I usually don't get online until late at night, that often happens. You've been in my thoughts and prayers! Take care~Hugs, Leena

What a sweet pillow! I want to know more about it. I love the saguaro cacti on it!

Laura,

Thanks for the inspiration! I love the basket with the wooden handle and the pear! It would look awesome on my counter!

Have a wonderful day!

That first time you turned the key must have been the key back to freedom in your car. Way to go, and so happy to hear that you can drive again. Great job on getting to the canes from the walker.
