I usually never post about personal things and I usually never blog on Saturdays but I thought doing both are well deserved today!
I have had the luxury of having my mom within 5 to 15 miles from me my whole life. Well today that changed! She has started a new chapter in her life which includes moving about 6 hours away from me. I am so happy for her but I can’t deny how strange it feels. Fortunately both my kids are to young to understand that Grandma moved. They just assume she moved to a new house and that they will see her soon like always. Mommy knows the truth. 
So there is my sob story (not really even a sob story) which leads me to my next order of business. I wanted to do something fun today to distract my mind from her move and from my hubby being out of the country so my cousin, friend and I went to our local farmers market which totally made my day. My cousin and I both love to receive and to buy fresh flowers, candles and cleaning supplies! I know. I should want jewelry or clothes but the fact is these 3 items make my heart go pitter patter. So of course we were on the hunt for all 3 and left totally satisfied!
This bouquet looked so organic to me. Like a huge wildflower field.
I love fresh lavender. It makes your house smell like a spa. This candle is made locally out of soy. They had tons of scents. It took forever to choose!
I found this Umbra wastebasket at a health food store. Its degradable.
I purchased this last week but had to post about it. I found it at a local consignment shop and fell in love. It’s an antique ladder and I can imagine it being used to climb into the tall beds that were so popular in the early 1900′s. I thought it would be perfect to display some of my favorite design books.

hey great finds! i really enjoyed reading your post today and seeing what fun stuff you found. I love blogs that blog about personal finds, projects and pictures.
I only wish my mom was 5-15 minutes away from me (instead of 2 hours away). 6 hours? Yikes. Definitely a big change. I hope she’s happy and that it all works out
glad you were able to do something fun today! (you totally deserve it.) your finds are great too – totally you. that little step ladder is precious.
How sweet. Gorgeous flowers too- I’m sure that helps
Glad you posted on the weekend 
Great finds!! I loove that wastebasket and the ladder you found
Oh, I understand. Have lived far from my Mom during a few times of my life, but am now very fortunate…we live about 15 minutes apart and are business partners. You will definitely be planning some road trips.
Awww I’m sorry you’re having to go through that right now. I hope everything is going well! You have some terrific finds…good job! Was that a teal chair I saw in the distance? TOO CUTE!
