Just Riding Around - My Town!

In case you haven't noticed I enjoy doing "series" style posts.  For summer I have decided to showcase my growing town - well maybe I should say towns!  I live outside of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and really adore being very close to the Twin City.  However, I am beginning to enjoy my little map dot a bit more now that I'm finding so many new gems that are calling Davie County home.

Each week I will be showcasing (on my own, I don't get paid to do this) a place that my husband and I have visited and fell in love with.  The catch?  They are within a fifteen mile radius of where we live.  Here's a secret:  I will probably venture out and share some other places from outside this little place later in the summer.  But shhhh you don't know that yet!

Today I want to share a favorite antique spot in the northern part of Davie County.  I may be partial because of the location and history of the building they are in but you must know this isn't a relative's business!

Snoring Horses Vintage & Antique



I would have never imagined I'd find this little piece of awesome sauce had they not moved into my great grandfather's general store!  This awesome storage facility opens up a few weekends a month for those of us who love antiques and vintage style furniture, jewelry, decor, kitchenware, toys, and more.

Snoring Horses is ran by The Tift Family and they have been in this business for many, many years! A few months back they relocated their business back to Mocksville, NC. They are a very welcoming family and so much fun to chat with.



The first time I visited I began my wish list.

The second time my husband purchased me two pieces of furniture and a vintage scale.

I love this piece so much!  It was the perfect fit for our empty corner in our living room.  

This "chippy" table made it's home our family room.  


Now I am planning out my next project with items available (hopefully still!) in their warehouse!

Antiques and eccentric pieces can have high price tags but rest assured Snoring Horses is extremely affordable!  Personally, I stay away from antique stores because the prices can blow your mind but at Snoring Horses you'll be mind blown at how affordable their selection is.  Oh and they also have a store across the street in my grandparent's first house!  How sweet is that?!

High Five: I Love Friday!



Hello gorgeous people!  It is Friday and that means I am super happy.  I'm also super happy to be linked up with #H54F today - since I haven't had a chance in a week or so.

So...here are five things I want to share with you on this glorious end of the work week day!

1.  I posted a video!

If you are not aware of my blog's Facebook page then please check it out!  (facebook.com/abrownieworld)  This week I was too lazy to type up my Walmart Beauty Box post that I just videoed it.  Yes, it is rough (I promise to work on my skills) but it was super fun.  Oh and my sweet four legged baby is in the video too!

2.  I'm on Snap Chat!



And I know nothing about it.  I downloaded the app a month ago.  Maybe you can teach me how to use it?!?!  Add me (abullnojoke) :)  This could be fun...

3.  Our yard is nearly complete!



Maybe I should say our land?!?!  Last week we were in the beginning stages of the grading and excavating period.  As of today, all that is complete and we are moving on to sowing our yard this weekend.  I'm so not excited.  Ha!

4.  Compliments are fabulous!

Banana Boat Sunless Tanning Lotion - 6 oz

I have had an endless array of compliments on my tan this week.  No, I do not utilize a tanning bed (bad stuff, y'all.)  I also haven't had a chance to lay out (use SPF!)  But I am a HUGE fan of Banana Boat Endless Summer Deep Tanner.  It goes on so easy and doesn't leave me looking like a bag of Cheet-oh's!

5.  Antiques



I'll have a post out next week but...my husband bought me two new antique pieces of furniture last week.  I am super excited.  He is such a sweet guy - it was unplanned (the expenditure) but it really made my day and two of my rooms!



Last Week's Saturday Post
Catch up on what you missed last week on A Brownie World.  Six things I felt like sharing, the recap, and the Pins that spoke to my heart (or something.)

Tales From The Pasture
This week I share a little bit of my own seasoned parenting advice.  A little humor and a little heart and soul.  It is funny how much stuff you learn from being in a pasture, ring, or with your animals.

Around The Home
Check out what has been going on around our place this week!  We're up to something big (per the usual, oh my goodness.)

Bathing Suit Season: A Pinterest Fun Post
I share the first five suits to pop up on my Pinterest feed.  This was fun (and scary!)

5 Reasons: I love Southern Charm
My television pleasure is Southern Charm (on Bravo).  I couldn't pin point a real reason I loved it until I sat down to write this post.  Can I just say....Shep.



Toddler Snack Mix Ideas from My Baking Addiction:
For my kids...my son wants to eat 24/7 so this would be super helpful to have on hand!  Plus, my daughter could enjoy it too!
Yessss:
Skippy that, y'all.  Don't waste your time on people who do not treasure you.
10 Awe-Inspiring Patio Design Photos:
I need this fire pit...at some point.
Summer Blue Scarf Print Shorts:
These are my new favorite shorts.  I purchase mine at Walmart (jr's section) for $7.96.  They are fabulous.
