Shopping Trip


Come take a stroll with me on a lovely spring day through the cultural district of Boise, Idaho. Look at this sign, it's one of my favorite shops, Renewal. I want to take a peek inside to see what is new. Would you like to come along with me?



When the weather is nice, they often put a few pieces outside. Here are some cute retro kitchen chairs, but I really like that yellow wicker foot stool. If I decide to buy it, I will probably paint it heirloom white. Let's go inside and see what else they have.


I like this lamp. It would be perfect in my Mom's kitchen since everything is black and white and she really likes a bit of a French flair


I love this white wicker settee. It's so charming and I already like the floral print on the seat cushion. I'll have to think about this ...


Look at this darling red wicker chair. Now that it's warm I want to buy lots of wicker pieces!!


This is a poster from an Idaho artist. His retro prints are so popular in cabins! If you ever get to Idaho, be sure to drive up to McCall, the skiing is awesome!!


Look at this cute retro red phone. You all know how much I love red. If I buy it I will only keep it for show because it is rotary after all.


Here is a lovely wool floral area rug. I don't have a place in mind for it at the moment, but I sure do like it.


This is a nice hall tree if you are in the market for one.

There's that settee again. I think I hear it calling my name!!


Now here is a fun chair. Not exactly my style, but I would have fun decorating a room around it!! What a fun shop don't you agree? I love to buy from consignment shops. Lots of opportunity to buy great items and good for the environment too. Reuse, repurpose!!


If I go back and buy that settee, do you think I could borrow this fabulous vintage truck to take it home?? I only live about a mile from here, so I won't be gone long ...
Thanks for going shopping with me today. Let's make a date to do it again very soon. Meanwhile, for some more eye candy, go visit Cindy at My Romantic Home to do some more browsing on this Show and Tell Friday.

Bentley, do you think we need a vintage truck like this one??

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  5. Ok, I really want the truck most of all. I've often seen myself cruising around in one of those things although they're pretty hard to come by here in AUstralia where we use utes instead... But, still, I'd settle for any old car from this era I guess, if only I could find a reliable one... :-)

    I have to tell you I got a thrill every time I looked at a new picture with this post.

    I think you should take us on a tour of every shop like this in your hometown!

    Thanks for posting.

  13. Susan and Bentley, Thanks for stopping by my blog! It is nice to hear from the South end of the state! We are tucked up here in the mountains, an hour or more to any sizable city. Those being Spokane, WA and Coeur D Alene, ID. I have a couple of haunts that I explore now and then and of course the yard sales and farm auctions.
