211 flea market finds
I ventured to St. Charles for the Kane County Flea Market today with Amanda. I am not a huge fan of flea markets since I'm not really into vintage stuff. I like a little here and there, but I kind of feel like ... if I'm going vintage it should mean something to me. That said ... I will go anywhere just for the experience. And I had heard this flea market was particularly good.
I was totally impressed with the amount of vendors - LOTS! And I managed to pick up some fabulous little treasures. A vintage light meter (how cool is that for eight bucks?), a collection of "Y" letterpress blocks, a super cool handmade bag (because I need another bag like I need a hole in the head -- but it's cool) and then the steal of the show... a vintage chevron quilt. I spotted it and originally passed it by and then circled back. I have been talking with my mother about making me something like this and voila! As you can see the kitties have already adopted it. Lucy is lounging on it as I type!
I give the Kane Co. Flea two thumbs up!
212 soakin up the sun
I have so many things I need/want to do, yet I could hardly peel myself off the lounger on the balcony. We had the loveliest day, so I just sat outside soaking it in. The kids enjoy the afternoon sun - rough life they've got huh?

Spent the majority of the day home, cleaning. I love a clean house, but HATE cleaning. Meanwhile,the kitties just lounge around and watch. What a life, huh?
Still loving the new VSCO photo app. Having such a hard time choosing between color and black & white. And sometimes double process with instagram - even more fun!!

the kids
These are my kids ... Lucy simply loves laying in the lit garland, likely because it's warm. And Phoebe, she loves sleeping under the down throw and emerges now and then to check out the scene. What funny kitties I have. I really don't know what I would do without a pet in my life...

(20) bokeh !! I love bokeh! Finally got the Fall decor out - twinkle lights make for excellent bokeh! This is my other kitty, Lucy. She and I had a date with the vet today for her annual check up. She's all good, but gained a pound and a half in one year! Yikes!! Gonna have to put my girl on a diet!
And for a little bonus bokeh from earlier this week ... a little Chicago skyline.
Hope you are having an excellent Saturday! The sun is finally out in Chicago, but it's still a little on the cool side... So I've stayed in catching up on magazines, DVR, photo editing and all things that are refreshing and relaxing. It was a very long and crazy week last week.

(6) from a low angle :: Say hello to Phoebe. She loves sitting up high, kind of like she's keeping watch over her kingdom.
