Shopping Asheville

It was Asheville’s lucky day when six design bloggers showed up to shop last weekend.  First stop, Screen Door!

Rhoda snaps a photo of the resident kitty.  Aww!

Shannon flipped through a stash of kitschy paint-by-numbers.  The girl knows how to group these puppies.  And, Heidi spotted a lamp and said, “Angela, that would look good in the loft!”  Yes, ma’am, it would–good eyes!

Ladies & Loot

Next we were off to the Tobacco Barn–I love you.

The chair tempts Lori…but would it fit in the car???

There is always good stuff to find like glass-topped tables with hoof feet and pieces to wistfully covet like a slightly unsettling unfinished painting.  Shannon and I discovered that we both have had a thing for this painting–that has been at TB for months now.

Then it was time to put 4 bloggers’ things into my mid-size SUV.  Blake at Tobacco Barn to the rescue!  Strangely enough, I didn’t have to fight anyone for that concrete Easter bunny.  He’s going to the loft to keep my headless torso company.  We’re a motley crew here at TPH.

Let’s go again soon!

Good thing I wasn’t there or we may have had to break up after I fought you for the bunny:-) Can’t wait ti see him in his place at the loft.

Always a dream to go treasure hunting with kindred spirits…looked like fun.

Aww, Angela! That was so much fun. Great to see what all y’all found after I left. I just didn’t have time to see all of Tobacco Barn, but it was such a fun trip. I can’t wait to get a house again, so I can buy more loot! :)

LOL…I am thinking if I would have been at the Screen door, I would have recognized Rhoda! I was there in the last week or two!

The Screen Door is truly great. We bought an antique radio cabinet from there and converted it into a sink cabinet for the bathroom.
