Flea Market Day

Flashback Summer: Flea Market Day - Spring Creek Tea Room, 1940s outfit

My parents are in town visiting, and today we all had the day off to hang out a bit.  We went to the BEST tea room in the area, Spring Creek Tea Room in Ozark, Missouri.  The best part about it is the tea room is connected to a small flea market!  ("Flea market" in the Missourian sense of the word, like an antique mall.)  The tea room is always crowded because, well, it's fantastic food, so you get to meander around and shop while you wait.

The other fabulous part is the food.  I got an apple pecan salad, blueberry iced tea, and PEACH SOUP.  Yes, that's right, peach soup!  They also have strawberry soup.  They're cold, sweet soups with a dollop of whip cream on the top, and this tea room makes it perfectly.  Sweet, but not too sweet, with a fabulous texture.

My husband was kind enough to pause in the flea market for a quick photo shoot, lovely man that he is.  This dress is from the 40s, bought from a friend. I did a quick, careful shrink and it fits me perfectly now!  I like the basic lines of it with the pop of color at the top. I paired it with a couple accessories my mom brought me from Kenya, a beaded belt, large purse, and pair of earrings.  It's an easy outfit, and I love it!

Then, lastly… this table!  My husband and I have been looking for a new kitchen table, and we spotted this beauty for a great price.  Obviously, it came home with us!  We took it apart, stuffed it in the car, and now it's looking great in our kitchen.  I'll take some photos soon to share with you guys when I get a couple more furniture pieces in place.  (Doesn't moving in take so long sometimes?!)

  4. I love your whole outfit, the dress is so classy! Great pop of color. Oooh and that table is a great find too! Yep, that probably would have come home with me if I had seen it!! Red is our accent color in the kitchen. And YES setting up house takes for ever! This month marks a full year in our new house and we are still working on settling in. I have so many house related ideas for blog posts I just never seen to get around to taking and posting pictures.
