5 Girls, A Goat & a Market

 

And now, much to everyone’s delight, there is also a Little Goat right across the street … an all-day diner where it’s easier to snag a table and easier on the wallet … yet no less delicious!

 

 

So what do you do when the Randolph Street Market is in full swing for the weekend right down the street from this Little Goat?

 

Girls Trip!

 

Bright and early Saturday morning, 5 Girls and the Goat communed over watermelon cucumber mimosas and the best hashbrowns and grits you’ve ever tasted before heading over to the Market for a little treasure hunting.

 

 

 

The restaurant itself is right out of a design mag …

 

Gorgeous light fixtures, funky wallpaper and skylights.

 

 

And the bakery next door … so charming.

 

 

With full bellies, we were off to burn some calories in the most fun way.

 

 

As usual, I snapped some pictures of some of my favorite finds …

 

I love these little vintage glass fishing floats to fill a bowl or vase with soft color.

 

 

Or you could do something similar with these strands of beads.

 

 

Fun hand-painted signs for a farmhouse kitchen.

 

We were cracking up over this collection of vintage signs …

 

How many of our boys could use these reminders …

 

I think these little lockers would be SO cute flanking the bed in a little boys room as nightstands.

 

Loved this huge armoire painted a pretty blue-gray …

 

Of course there were vintage crates everywhere but I liked these for their color.

 

This lamp with marble base almost came home with me.  I forgot to take a picture of the gorgeous gold lining inside the shade.

 

I wish I had somewhere to put this dresser! What a fun color and the price was only $375 I think?

 

 

I also love how it was styled … stacks of candy-colored books and a little birdcage filled with plants. Perfect!

 

 

 

So, after collecting up all their purchases … and giggling over some “vintage” clothing, the Girls were ready to make the trek back to their car …

 

 

(See, I told you we would burn off our breakfast calories!)

 

Home the 5 Girls went to husbands and kiddos … and to find new homes for their new treasures.

 

One Girl bought this cute little chalkboard …

 

Another Girl scored this pretty little shelf for her daughters’ bathroom.

 

Another Girl picked up these metal numbers …

 

 

With a plan to do this …

 

 

She feels guilty that the picture of #3 is not hung yet given that #3 is 4 years old … but I assured her that you would all understand and perhaps even empathize with the Third Child Syndrome, right?

 

She also found this …

 

 

I love the idea of tucking a vintage team photo like this into a gallery-style wall of art.

As for this Girl?  I also got a chalkboard … 

 

 

 

 

What else?

 

Well, I have loved these on Terrain for some time, but not for $158 bucks a pop.

 

 

 

Fortunately I was able to snag one for only  $40 …

 

 

There are lots of uses of it … from a planter to a magazine holder …

 

 

… to a place to store TP or firewood ….

or repurposed into a light fixture …

 

 

 

I think I’ll find many uses for it in my house.

 

I also like collecting little number eights since that is our address … I found this cute black and white one that I can tuck in almost anywhere.

 

And I couldn’t resist a little bag full of those glass fishing floats …

 

 

All in all, a successful (and YUMMY!) trip.

 

Another great thing I love about this market is that often times if you talk to the vendors you will find that they have their own shops elsewhere around the city or even do custom work.  I snagged quite a few cards that I hope will come in useful to me or future clients …

 

 

I know these 5 Girls are looking forward to another trip!

 

 Have a good week!
