~Antique Store Treasures~

Some things found at my favorite antique store today. I am sooooo gearing up for Christmas decorating!! (I already had the plate, the Christmas goodies are what I found today)

Vintage powder puffs in the perfect colors of pink and lavender for my bathroom! They remind me of frilly lollipops!

We're putting up our outdoor Christmas lights today while it's pleasant and sunny! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

"Fall"ing in Love.....

We went for a drive yesterday so I could photograph some of the fall foliage ~ had to stop on a two-seat swing and take a picture of me with my fella! I think you can see how much I love this guy!

Starting in our very own back yard ~ this is our woods ~ we have some wood piled up, waiting to be split and enjoyed on these cool nights....
~a favorite tree in our front yard~

..... just down the road.....

This is a road-side farm stand on our road. The little boy in the background had selected his pumpkin and was proudly standing beside it. This little stand uses the "honor system"; there is a lockbox to put your money in for what you select. I love that about country living.

One of my favorite scenes is trees reflected in the water

(taken at a local park)

There were a pair of ducks, but they weren't swimming very closely together, so I just caught this picture of the more-colorful male.

When we stopped so I could photograph these beautiful trees, we were pleasantly surprised to see that there were several deer enjoying them as well.

This post is kind of a departure from my normal pastel-inspirations, but I had to share some scenes from my favorite season.

I have been updating my shoppe with lots of *new* vintage pretties, so be sure to check it out! Photos to be shared here soon.

What I've been working on this week.....

Vintage wallpaper ornaments!

Mittens....

Snowmen....Next will be Christmas trees and stars!

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Mmmmmm, have you caught a whiff of this? I saw it on QVC but didn't want to pay the $ they were selling for as a "set".... but then I found it this weekend in the Bath & Body Store!

I also bought this little sugar shaker (it has a crack in the back, but who doesn't? ;)

And this pretty vintage tablecloth I've had my eye on for awhile ~ it was marked down from $20 to $5. Scooped it up before anyone could change their mind!! :)

Hope you are enjoying these last beautiful days of September, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Here's a Friendly Thought....I wish you "Year-Round Happiness" The little card and angel were finds from the Springfield Antiques Extravaganza I attended over the weekend. I couldn't resist the bluebirds on the card, and the little angel wishing "Year-Round Happiness" was so sweet ~ who doesn't want that? :)

Also found a Bethany Lowe "putz-style" house/bottle brush tree... and the vintage pink doily 'neath it........ a cute little pink angel holding a hymnal
Another vintage card, this one with an idyllic cottage scene....

~Of course another "sayings" cup to add to my collection I recently shared with you~

Two metal scrolly shelves with roses ~ deciding which wall will be graced with them ~

After seeing the attention Bowser received from being featured in my last post, the others insisted on their moment in the sun as well. Here is sweet Isabella, who apparently thinks when my dh says he's "getting on the laptop" it means for her to get on his lap top. Silly Izzy!! Hope you are having a lovely week ~ so thankful it's Autumn, my favorite season!

Please stop by again soon!

Rearranged my little white cabinet o' pretties, so snapped a picture.
Lots of pieces with roses, but also some mugs with "sayings"....

..... such as "A present", "Remember Me", and "Forget Me Not".

When I'm typing my posts, I usually have a supervisor -- this time it's Bowser. Here she is in front of my computer monitor. She looked cuter than this, but everytime the camera flashed she blinked. She has the prettiest golden eyes, but you wouldn't know it by this photo!! Looks like she's sleeping on the job, eh Bowser?

Hope your week is off to a good start! :)
