My Flea Market Finds

Two vintage mixing bowls, with lids...

And a gorgeous yard long... now I have three ~ an official collection, right?

 Springfield Flea Market & Antiques Extravaganza Pics

I wanted this pink door, but I don't think it was for sale.  I wanted the old rose box too but had to pass, as my funds were limited.  But isn't it a beauty?
The legs and shoes are already mine  ;)

Gotta love a pink chair!

One of my fave booths

 I forget whose booth this was, but just some random pretties.....

Should I have brought these home for my lawn?  :)
Hope you enjoyed the pics, next post I'll share what I DID buy!

 Happy May!!

My collection of "May" angels.  My maiden name is May, and my birth month is May, so this is my favorite month...

 The above is my very first May figurine, she graced the top of my 13th Birthday cake.  Technically she isn't an angel, as she never had a halo or wings, but she is by far the most special to me.

 I hope that the month of May brings you as much happiness as my May angels bring to me.

My two wonderful sons and myself.
Brad, 22, and Andrew who just turned 26.  We were celebrating Andrew's birthday.
The joys of my life.

The lilacs are in bloom....

Filling our home with their heavenly fragrance....

~Vintage Motto Mugs~ Among my many collections are my vintage motto mugs. I display them in our dining room on a little shelf I made over by painting white.

Sometimes they are a present from friends, such as the one below, which is my latest acquisition. A friend gifted me with it because I fell in love with the sweet graphics of the little girl. . Perhaps the next time you see a vintage motto mug you will *Think of Me* and smile. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy February!A true blog slacker goes straight from Christmas to Valentine's Day! ;)

Hope all is well in your world.
Time is flying along..... What a mild winter we've had too! I caught the sickies that everyone seems to have had; was down for a good two weeks. There is always a renewed appreciation for feeling good after that!!
I love this month of hearts and romance.

I gathered my collection of vintage Putz houses for a photo shoot before packing them away.

A time to reflect on the beauty and wonder of the past year, and the hope of the New Year to come.

February
A holiday filled with hearts, love, and romance!

March
Spring arrives and thoughts are drawn to roses and other such delights

April

Time for sweet bunnies and Easter eggs

May
My birth month, and a re-birth occurs in nature as flowers spring to life.

June
Welcome Summer! Time for bike rides and lazy afternoons in the garden

July

Yard sales and flea markets are a fun way to spend a summer day and find treasures for my home, like this bluebird cheese keeper a friend spotted for me.

August

A summer's work pays off as roses flourish by the window, able to be enjoyed from the comfort of a cool home.

September
The summer is coming to an end, and a peaceful feeling envelopes our home as my favorite season begins.

October
The flowers are fading, but are still beautiful

November
With its golden hues and muted shades brings a warmth to our home, in spite of the cooling temperatures.

December
My favorite month brings Christmas decor to our home, like these skates made by my friend Nikki.

I hope you have enjoyed this little "year in review" through my photographs.

Thank you all so much for your continued friendship, and the Happiest of New Years to you and yours!!
