Since I was in Chattanooga for the
sale I posted about yesterday I had to stop by one of our all time favorite restaurants. It is called Sluggo's! They have a pretty great looking menu, but I LOVE their vegan club sandwich so much that I always get it. I don't even know what it is about it! The pinto beans are good too, and their tahini dressing is out of this world! I need to figure out how to make it.
If you are ever in the area check it out for sure.
The drive home was only 2 hours, but I got a little antsy on my way back, so I stopped in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. It is a town that is known for it's antique stores. I haven't been since I way 12 years old. A lot of the stores were closed on Monday, but I found one that was open.
The green box with the cutest graphics was pretty tempting. It was made of metal with a great little hinged lid. But I left it behind.
Look at the sweet graphics on this little crib! I need a niece to buy this kind of stuff for!
And last but not least, this glamorous craft piece. I'll give you a moment to take it in.
Yes, that is a syrup bottle that has been given a glamourous makeover, including googly eyes and a little wig. Believe it or not I was able to leave this little lady behind. I just walked out with a little black poodle with a spiral for holding letters on it's back, and randomly I found the audio book of Julie Andrews autobiography, read by her, for just a few dollars so I couldn't resist.
I am so angry this syrup bottle didn't make it home with you. Can you imagine styling her hair and changing her outfits...like a janky barbie.
ReplyDeletehaha, they wanted TEN DOLLARS! to much for me. and i've been TRYING to get a handle on how much weird junk i bring home. haha!
DeleteIt makes me wish that I had an Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth or ??? Googly eyes are the best. I saw a tiger-print shirt in the thrift stores last weekend that had googly eyes as BUTTONS!! That sandwich looks like it was worth the stop; there is something life-changing about a really good club sandwich! Also, "Bell Buckle?" You guys have THE BEST names for things!
ReplyDeletegoogly eye buttons!! i really hope you incorporate that amazing idea into something you make soon! i love it!
Deletethere is a town between nashville and memphis called buck snort! that has always made me laugh, and near bell buckle there is a Bug Scuffle tennessee!
Those pinto beans look so yummy. In fact looking at them made me want to eat so off to the kitchen I go. Hehehe
ReplyDeleteWow, that syrup bottle is even better in close-up shots. I probably would have bought that jacked up thing.
ReplyDeletethat doll is terrifying. my eyes got super wide and terrified. haha.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine that syrup bottle staggering away from the free department store makeup counter makeover it has just received, going, "What do you think?" to her partner syrup bottle, who just shakes his head and smiles, weakly. "You look beautiful!"
ReplyDeletePS: SLUGGOS FOR LIFE! Why can't they open up a sister restaurant in our fair city?
That doll is weird but cool ! Your blog is lovely, fell in love with it. Following with GFC =) Kisses from Italy, hope to visit your town one day soon !
