miles and miles



50 of them to be exact...
and
when the weekend was through
we had explored 40 of the 5o miles
of the crazy flea-market
running along route 90 this weekend.



rolling through farmland
linking villages to farms
and people to people



it was such a great way to slow down
and stop in all the little towns
and take closer looks at houses
and cafes and barns
(i have a serious thing for barns..
i'll show you my ever-growing photo collection one of these days)


people came from all around the northeast..
i met ladies who drove in from rhode island
who started the 50 mile drive (crawl)
on thursday.

i didn't know what to expect
and now i do.

it's a big party for people who love antiques
(and junk too)
who love history
and who just love to dig
and roam.
i was in heaven

we couldn't have stuffed much more into the jeep
and i still spent
less than $100.

what a great weekend.
hope you had a fun one too.
what did you do?

so much love







do you know people that just seem to have
extra large hearts..
with so much love to give
as if they have a never-ending well of kindness
and generosity inside?



you know the ones..
they're always giving and giving
and
thinking of others




..taking the time to say
and do kind things
in the most generous
(and usually surprising)
ways..



they are full of life
noticing beauty in everything around them
(and best of all..they share it with the rest of us..)




i have been so incredibly lucky to become friends
with one of those super extra special beautiful people

and when i say beautiful
i mean utterly gorgeous inside and out
(just take a peek at her flickr site
and you'll see what i mean..seriously..you'll be so very inspired)




cori inspires me constantly
with her beautiful photos
and entertaining little journal entries..
(some are so heart felt and some are hilarious)

she recently sent me the most amazing envelope full of love
and sweet wishes
made of her gorgeous photos and postcards
..completely out of the blue..
and well, just because.

somehow she knew i needed it.
(she's just like that)




oh and did i mention
that we haven't even met in person yet??
(the online community is an amazing thing..)

thank you sweet cori.
i'm so happy to call you my friend.
:)

now for a little more inspiration,
please do yourself the favor of visiting cori's beautiful shop
full of her art and vintage goodies.
maybe you can become her friend too.
