Pre-Birdsong 4 Shopping

My Birdsong 4 weekend started off with friends Suzanne & Cheryl (the Colorado girls) arriving June 5 for afternoon shopping at the Mission Road Antique Mall 

 

Shopping at Beth's booth...Beth has BEST treasures!

This booth offers designer & vintage fabric swatches.

I have drawers full of swatches from this booth!

 

After some girlfriend time shopping, eating and sharing hugs & stories, we called it a night.

A good night's sleep was needed, so we would be fully energized for Friday's shopping at the 

Kansas City's West Bottoms vintage shops.  

 

We arrived about 8:45 am to the West Bottom shops.

Our sign for the day...smile.

 Not only were we on a treasure hunt, but we were excited to run into other Birdsong Peeps!

Vintage June brides everywhere

I like this idea of a vintage tart tin for a base!

 Do you miss Disco?

 Yummy French ribbons!

  

Did a lot of this today!

 

Enough for now.

 Our next adventure will be Angie's birthday party and Day 1 of Birdsong 4.

 See you back here soon. 

 

 

 

 

 

Kansas City's West Bottoms Vintage Shopping

Last Saturday Julie and I spent the day shopping at Kansas City's West Bottom Vintage shops.
On our drive there we hit a fantastic garage sale just a few blocks from my home and managed to fill up the car.  

No surprise I fell in love with two chairs soon after arriving at the West Bottoms, but my car was already full.  So, we shopped the north-side shops, went home, had lunch, let Belle enjoy some time outside in the backyard, emptied my car and headed back to pick up those two chairs I fell in love with... I'll post those chairs another day.

Of course we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping the south-side shops.
All the shops were decked out for the upcoming Holidays -maybe not as much as last year, but they definitely had some wonderful displays. 

 

I believe on the 4th floor of Bottoms Up is a booth offering incredible vintage doors

It was a beautiful and fun day with my gal pal Julie! 

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Part 2

I only have a PC, no laptop, notebook, smart phone or whatever, so I need to be home and at my PC to share any new post with you.  When it comes to tech stuff, I keep it simple...

hence my delay in recent postings. 

I've been away on a wonderful Girls Rule trip.
I will be sharing about it once I get caught up on some other posts.  

I had planned on catching up with posting early this weekend; however our eldest son was involved in a major car accident.  Thank our good Lord, he was not severely injured!

His car was totaled.  

On with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Part 2...

My last post left Laurie, Suzanne & me getting ready to experience shopping at the
Kansas City West Bottoms Vintage Stores.

More of West Bottoms shopping...

 I love this sofa!  It was only $115!  

I absolutely have no where to put it or it would have come home with me!

 Wow! bright lemony yellow 

Window view (I think from the 3rd floor of Bottoms Up)

Amazing old buildings!

The holidays are upon us... smile!

 It was October, lots of eerie & odd displays

We ran into fellow Bird Song friends Marj & Gail!

Suzanne & Laurie - we had an amazing day!
Be sure and visit Laurie's post, she has lots of great photos.

The last event of their visit was Karla's Romantic Gothic Ghost.  I'll be sharing more about that soon.
