Hello there:)

Thanks for stopping by today. I went to The Brimfield Show this week and wanted to share with you some of the fun things I saw:)

The weather was damp and rainy but dressed for it and had a lot of fun. Don and I went on Tuesday. He scored a couple of lanterns.

On Wednesday Gretchen and her Mom joined me for a day filled with a lot of walking and laughs. I think we laughed all day:) 

                                                         Lots of whites this year.

 This is a gigantic tent filled with vintage clothing and jewelry.

                                         Great white table and ironstone.

                                                  Love this bed and pillows.

                     Fell in love with this blue and white door!!!!

              These bags were there again this year. Gorgeous!!!

       OHHH MMMM GEEEE Look at these two pieces!  I need a bigger barn;)

                                                               Love this display. 

                                                 Yes, I do love drawers!!!

                      Fabulous door and basket with pillows. I noticed that the booths that set up mixing plants with their displays looked the best.

                                                               Mushroom love.

                                 Uh.....................................................hmmm

 This creative lady always displays plants in the prettiest ways.

                     They have things for people who love the water. There is something for everyone here as there are thousands of dealers.

   Now, tell me, who doesn't need a ginormous chicken??? lol


Counting the weeks until the next show in July.  Did you make it to Brimfield this week?
                                  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY:)

RACHEL ASHWELL WOULD BE PROUD OF ME

 Today I took my little Granddaughter Fibi to run errands with me.  While going from place to place I remembered that Nicole had told me that one of the thrift shops we go to just got in an inventory of vintage clothing. So off we went.

                   I found this fabulous childs' dress. I thought of Rachel Ashwell as soon as I saw it. It had to be the deal of the day because it was only $6.00!

 It is such a pretty color and still shimmers even with its' age. Just like we do;)

                              I love the little flower and round collar. 

                  I wonder where the little girl that wore this pretty dress had gone.

                             I am going to hang it on the front of the door to my child's guest room:)Although I know 3 little ones will be interested in wearing it;)


Hope you have a beautiful weekend. Any fun plans????

TEA ROOM ANTIQUE SHOP IN PA

I have always admired the architecture of this building when we visit PA. It was a  tea room and now it is a gift/antique shop. 

                                                   The iron work is awesome.

 From the road you will see this great conservatory. The inside of the building is pretty and I just love how they decorated the outside.

          This angel welcomes visitors into a small out building.

        Here is one of my favorite ideas. Pretty plates scalloped in a garden bed.

                    I just may try this somewhere in my own yard.

 LOVE this little building on the property. Notice the rose stepping stones?

                 I would love to buy a little house for the girls and decorate it for them;) Actually I'd decorate a tent, I just love to decorate. When I was little I would crawl under our porch. It was high enough for me to sit under so.....I decorated it and spent every afternoon playing under it:) That was my first make over. But I digress.

 OK, here is another great idea. Tea pots hung from a railing!!! How cute is this for a cottage garden?

                         The girls need one of these, I'm sure of it;)

   The owner was as sweet as pie and let me go around taking photos.

 Inside the conservatory. Look at that screen door. Speaking of screen doors. I may or may not have brought a teal, chippy one home with me.

 Yes, Don didn't sit in the SUV for this one. He actually joined me to check this great place out.

                                                                         Welcome

               You know I love statues and this one was fabulous.

Hope you enjoyed our little trip to the Tea Room. Very pretty and inspiring:)

A WEEKEND FLEA MARKETING IN PA

Hello everyone:) 

How was your weekend? Don and I took a little get-a-way to PA for a few days. We went flea marketing and antiquing for four full days!!!!! Don's SUV was so packed, we couldn't fit another thing in it. If we'd had only brought the truck:)

 I wanted to take you on a little tour of the things that we saw at the markets. Depression glass is always present. I don't collect it but know ladies who do. It is very pretty.

 I have shown you this little house in the middle of the flea market before. This lady is one of the most creative woman I have ever met. She re purposes EVERYTHING!  She is amazing! A must stop every trip!

 This market was in a nice area with lots of trees throughout. It is nice in the warm weather but this weekend was soooooo cold. Not to worry. We were prepared with warm clothes and gloves.

      This was such a pretty display. This dealer actually has a little shop too. Lots of great things.

 That 'eggs' sign spoke to me. I wonder why I didn't buy it? Hmmmm

                   And who doesn't love bowls of lace and shells???

             OK, this is why I wanted to bring the truck!!!!! I have been wanting one of these for so long and it was only $30.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It even has wheels.

 More primitives and look at those awesome gourds.  Cute little cracked shelf made of old lattice.

 This particular flea market has 3 outbuildings and the rest of the dealers are out in the field.

 This sweet woman let me take a couple of pictures of her booth. LOVE that cabinet. She said it was going to use it as an island in her kitchen but plans changed. IF ONLY I HAD THE TRUCK! I had her card but can't find it. She told me she sells online. So if by any chance you are reading this and know who she is please let me know because she has a great eye for treasures and I want to share:)

 Another shot of her booth. Look at that tall cabinet. WHY OH WHY DIDN'T WE BRING THE TRUCK:)

 The woman that sold the next few pictures of things has a great eye too. She will be at Brimfield which is great because I will surely go back to her.

             Lots of crystals. I bought some old bobeches from her.

                                           Great selection of canning jars.

                                                               Boxes and lace.

                                    I bought a great frog from her too.

                                                                Awesome door!!!!!!!!!!!

  These are some of the things I brought home. The white yo yo tablecloth is one of my favorite things.

     Fell in love with this hand tinted photo. Isn't it beautiful?

                                       Picked up some of these too. I hope she brings more to Brimfield. I put them in my old bottles. Love the look.

 Someone had sewn a bunch of feed sacks together to make a giant laundry bag and I bought it! I am using it as a tablecloth on our French farm table. Brought home the large ironstone bowl, the white enamel pail and the beautiful geranium too.

   Love this long white wicker basket. I filled it with different old jars.

                       Aren't these the best drawers evah? Couldn't come home without a couple;) 


Well, I hope you enjoyed my photos of the flea markets in PA. I will share more of that pretty State this week with you so stay tuned.................................................


'Till next time,
