About Us

My photo
Southern, California, United States
My sister and I are "Annie Louise". We live in sunny Southern California. Ever since we were kids our mom would take us to estate sale and garage sales. So I guess it is only natural that we still both love to go to garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores--- nothing more exciting than the thrill of the hunt and the find!! Our style is a cross between rustic, shabby chic and beachy. We are both new to blogging, but have decided to start our own blog. We hope you find this blog interesting and come back to visit often. Thanks for visiting, Jackie and Jeanette

Relaxing Whites


Hi Everyone---Happy White Wednesday—


We here at “Annie Louise” love the beach, so for your viewing pleasure, here is a small sampling of some of the wonderful white shells we have accumulated from the beach. Also, below is a white opalescence lamp that we scored at a garage sale for $10.00. Be sure and stop by Faded Charm http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ to check out other white Wednesday goodies. Hoping everyone has a great week.

Hoopla

I found a bag of these embroidery hoops and clothespin at the thrift store for $1.91 for the entire kit-n-kaboodle.

I got out some of my material, stamps and stamp pad and viola—I hope you like this little transformation.



I am connecting to The Shabby Chic Cottage for many inspirational/wonderful transformations http://www.theshabbychiccottage.net/2010/08/sign-making-with-silhouette.html

Weekend Findings

My sister and I had a great weekend. These are just some of the goodies we found at various locations (we even were fortunate enough to find some free things yippee). We found an abundance of silver dishes, trays, organization holders, two brand new shadow boxes still in their wrappers, a great desk lamp and  two brand new lampshades. The cute little umbrella was a free item, as well as some magazines, a white (no material on it) lampshade and what appears to be an old metal white with blue trim hospital tray (we are still working on cleaning it up). We had a great time at the flea market this weekend.  We found some wonderful  flatware.  It was fun walking around and taking in all the gorgeous sights, there were a ton of great vendors and buys to be had! Hope you had a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by.
