I love this time of year in the South - particularly when the skies are blue and the azaleas are in full bloom. We have had a lot of rain this year, and the greens are particularly blinding and the flowers lush - including in my own back yard.

| Love the colors in my own back yard - we have azaleas of different colors and sizes that bloom successively for about a month - such a spectacular show! |
As much as I love traveling (am already researching vacations for next year to Europe), I did miss my normal weekend garage and estate sales. So, it was great to have a lovely spring day on Saturday to get out with my normal Saturday sale buddy, Ouida, to see what we could find. We headed to our favorite area - Buckhead (heart of the city) - and ran into several worthwhile sales.
 |
| Our first stop. This gorgeous English-style tutor (we were told it was 80 years old) is located on a high hill with significant acreage. |
 |
| A lot of great items for sale - this barely represents the variety. |
 |
| The next sale was being held by one of my favorite sellers - Vicki. This was a Friday/Saturday sale and she announced that "a chaise you would love just walked out the door" as I entered. Her sale had been successful and there wasn't much left over on Saturday. The wisdom of attending Friday/Saturday sales on the second day is hard to judge. Sometimes, prices that started too high are staring to come down and sometimes most of the stuff is gone. |
 |
| This next sale was in a beautiful, huge house with a lovely pool setting in back. It was being held by another of my go-to sellers - The Vintage Girls. I actually put a bid on a pair of wonderful wingback chairs which I did get but failed to photograph. |
 |
| Love the styling on this chair and the fabric is a slightly textured silk in great condition. I'll see how well it does as a "estate collection - as is" sale. It actually looks pretty good in the spot I parked it in my dining room. |
It was great to catch up with Ouida after our big trip to Greece and to get back out to the sales. A good day all around!
