just ever have one of those days where more things work in your life than not work? today was one of those days. though it wasn't all the things i want (no job still), i found a great deal on some photo props and make a major sale in the shop. i'll take those and run with them. i found wild shrimp in the specialty market yesterday and though they were three dollars more for the pound it was sooooooooooo worth it. i prepared them simply - peeled and deveined, sauteed in the pan with an olive oil/butter combo and some basil/sun dried tomato/garlic seasoning. served with some angel hair they were ever so yummy. next time i would like a bit of mushrooms and perhaps some red bell pepper. if it was just me some asparagus too...but somebody doesn't like asparagus. can you imagine?
tomorrow the farmer's market is also a flea market so i need to get up bright and early. maybe i can find some treasure. and veggies...absolutely some veggies. now i need to go water the flowers because the rain they're getting north of here - it's not here. it's warm, sunny and 85. perfect i think.
above the the latest flowers that i will probably wear out. mary knows the name that i fail to recall. but they remind me of roses i think. you can also see the top of the last thrift find i made - an old milk bottle ($1). i also got another blue ball jar without a lid (also $1). i'm so into glass lately.
hogatha (aka: lizzie) is belly crawling towards me. she knows dinner maybe soon and she's excited. moses continues to ignore me unless i have food or pete's away. then he's all about me. hey - in case you didn't know, the flu is going around. make sure you wash your hands.
I love the days when everything falls in line. I had a good one today.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even let the rain stop me from flower shopping. Love spring flower shopping!!! Better than Christmas with a nice ice tea in hand.
glad you are having a good one! i am having a BAD one, but these things happen. :)

I like the sound of that farmers and flea market combo, bet there'll be lots of good finds there. My daughter recently bought me a bracelet of glass beads from a local vendor, the beads are silver and amber colored, very pretty. Have fun browsing tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great day. Congrats on the sales, that's awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you're happy. Maybe I'll find a thrift store, too. And congrats on the big sale!!
ReplyDeleteit really does sound like the most perfect day....and now a flea market tomorrow....lucky you !!

ReplyDeletecongratulations on the sale! and it's always exciting to find cool things at the thrift store. sounds like a great day all around.
your comment on my blog meant a lot to me today. thank you so much for being my blogger friend.
I'm hungry now.
ReplyDeleteI think I had a very similar day to yours. Sounds like it was the perfect way to start off the month :)
ReplyDeleteThe flower looks like lisianthus, I love those flowers! Beautiful pic and it does sound like it was a great day :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo!!!!! I can't stop looking at it...should be in magazine! Tomorrow should like fun...I love a good flea market!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the big sale -- hopefully the first of many to come!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the farmer's/flea market tomorrow. Hope you get another good day. We're getting rain, rain, rain up here. But the grass is an amazing green now. :)
Your photo is gorgeous -- such beautiful light! Oh, and it is lisianthus -- not the easiest name to remember. :)
I can't believe I don't know what that flower is. Maybe a top view. The picture is lovely..great lighting.
ReplyDeleteYour shrimp dinner sounds wonderful...just my kind of meal...quality food, simply prepared. Next time, just serve your asparagus as a side dish.
Char -- love your shots and the pictures you create. They have a dreamlike quality. Also, it would seem that your words have returned -- and I am thoroughly enjoying them. : )
ReplyDeletethe mood in this photo says peace and comfort...i hope that for you today!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way these days about glass. I go to the antique mall or consignment shop, and I'm digging around looking for glass bottles or ceramic plates or something that there's a good chance will get broken at some point. Maybe I'll take up learning to make mosaics...
ReplyDeleteBrenda
i so enjoy getting glass bottles in thrift shops
ReplyDeleteLol, "in case you didn't know theres a flu going around"...
ReplyDeleteReallY?! Your so funny. Ya I'm with ya, it's a bit blown out of proportion if you ask me.
Love hearing about your day. I had to check your date stamp and see when the market was..it was today! Did you find anything good?
Asparagus, huh? You can have mine, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really, really want to go thrifting with you. You find the best goodies. Yup. I'll take the asparagus. Yum.
