It's no secret that the people we meet in blog land are a special breed. We meet with our mutual love for design and making ours and others' surroundings lovely.
While traveling to Arkansas to visit Mr. MD who is there on business I had the most delightful afternoon with Mona Thompson.
She is one of the 'sisters' behind the beautiful interior design business and blog
Providence Ltd. Needless-to-say, we hit it off right away. You would never know that we hadn't been friends for a lifetime.
We went to her shop in the Fabulous Finds Antique Mall.
She has a great eye for
'fabulous finds'!!
There is so much here I would love to have put in my suitcase to take back to Atlanta.
I love these gold leafed candelabras!
I spy a beautiful gate-leg table!
I am loving those candlesticks...I can see them made into beautiful lamps!
We then went to Mona's beautiful home. I didn't want to be obnoxious taking pictures but I was drawn to the sideboard in the dining room.
I had to get a close up
because this finish is in store for mine.
I had to snap this lampshade on the sconce. Mona had it made...beautiful.
The blessing to me was an incredible afternoon with a firecracker of an adorable woman.
Thanks so much Mona!

If you would like to make your house a lovely home, contact MD!
Sounds like such a fun getaway! That antique store has gorgeous stuff, probably a good thing you couldn't fit anything in your travel bag. ;)

What a lovely post. The entire afternoon was a lovely treat and a nice break from all that is going on. I'm laughing right now at our picture. We talked so much we forgot to take one together. We had to be a comical sight jumping out of my car as we left the house...standing in a flower bed in the miserable heat with your i-pad pointed at our faces. Made for a great laugh if not for a very pretty picture. I look forward to keeping up and seeing each other again. Mona
