When we finally awoke from our slumber, we (I) decided today would be a good day for shopping. We were going to meet up with our friends out on Tybee Island a little later so we only had a couple of hours to get it all in. I decided to take the car into town so we could see more of the sweet city. Oooooof! When we walked outside, we were all glad for that decision! The humidity was out in full force! How fortunate to have one day of dry heat anyway.
We parked on Broughton Street W. and started walking. First we found a little hippie shop which we enjoyed strolling through.
Their displays were beautiful. And they even had a testing "bar." Of course, I partook in that. I loved the Tupelo and Sourwood the most.
Then we strolled on and hit The Paris Market and Brocante, as everyone suggested. Oh my. I was like a kid in a candy shop! Literally!
Of all the thousands of pieces, I had my eye on this extra large framed print. (I call myself LuLu at times in private). I didn't even dare to look at the price.
And this little black bird tray? Oh, I fell in love with it, but I walked away. A plastic tray $175? Walk away LuLu. I did.
We walked out the door and took a wrong turn right into Lady & Sons restaurant. How strange is that? I had not planned on eating here, was going to high-tale it on up to Soho South. But the kids were hungry so we walked up and got a table right away. What are the odds?
We ended the delightful meal with a piece of chocolate pie that was buttery rich. Soooooo good! Honestly, I was quite pleased with the place. Since we hadn't planned on eating here and there was no wait, it was good. Would I wait in line? Nope. I don't do lines, thank you very much.
After lunch, we went back down Broughton and hit @home. Another suggestion. There was a sale going on here which I admit to taking advantage of.
It made me think of so many of you out there in blogland. I know the ones who are squelling right now. I can hear you!

Nourish was a soap store. Mmmmm. The cuz and I got some delightful salt rubs.

Thanks for sharing! What great stores!
Cheers,

You are so lucky to have gotten into Lady N Sons... We tried last year TWICE and couldn't get in at all.
Looks like another wonderful day in Savannah.
Hugs,
Betsy
oh yeah, I'm squealing! and cracking up at the "fa-fa-fa!" my daughter does that all the time and you made me laugh!
Love your stories!
Looks like a great trip!
I want to travel with you. Shop with you. Eat with you. You do it the best and I'm lovin' it! I'm glad "Lady" was good -- I like Paula and I'd like to think her restaurant was up to snuff! Sounds like it was!
You hear me all right! Glad you are doing the serious shopping and I'm doing the window shopping! :D
What a beautiful city and what fabulous shopping and eating. Looks like so much fun.
Were you ever lucky to get into Lady & Sons without the line! Glad you enjoyed @home. Did you meet Liz? She's really charming; I love what she does with her store. xoxox
Oh Ro, you make me want to return there! I love the moss hanging from the trees. I love everything about that place! And wow...you got to eat at Paula's restaurant. How exciting!
Your pics are wonderful.
