When life throws a curve...................

.............such as it did this week, one is so grateful when the good news comes.



Our very special Susie, owner of SuzAnna's Antiques which, if you've followed my blog you will know is one of my favorite places to be in the whole wide world..........................was definitely thrown a curve and scared us big time!
Go to her daughter Jenny's blog The Red Bulletin Board for details of what happened at the hospital!



The great news is Susie is now out of ICU, can have flowers and goodies to cheer her up, and hopefully will be treated for her original back problem. Then, she can return to the shop because there's a heck of a lot of work waiting for her - such as rearranging the outdoor area for Spring............




.................cleaning the rust off garden chairs (just kidding - we love 'em looking like that).................

....................and polishing the crystal chandeliers, except we won't allow her on ladders for a while. Susie is a bundle of energy and always seems to be up a ladder when I stop at the shop ~ can't keep this gal down for long.

Please keep Susie in your thoughts and prayers ~ and if you have time leave a little get well comment to her either here, or on her daughter Jenny's blog. Thanks so much.

Visiting SuzAnna's

September is almost here, the beginnings of Autumn are in the air. Cooler mornings as the children wait for the school bus. A few leaves are already turning gold, drifting gently downward on the breeze. The birds are so much quieter now, the babies already as big as their parents, finding breakfast for themselves, no calling for their parents as in Spring and early Summer. Energy is renewed with thoughts of cool days, time to treasure hunt in comfort.

Last weekend I was able to run by SuzAnna's Antiques, catch up with my dear friends and check out new merchandise that arrived at the shop while I was traveling.

I thought this antique dresser with the oval mirror very pretty.

The fireplace mantel would also make a wonderful headboard for a bed. These two pieces together in a guest room would be welcoming and so much fun.

Lots of interesting silver flatware ~ I like stuffing it in old glass vases or silver bowls ~ and of course prefer it tarnished so no polishing required!

More silver...................no more polishing if you enjoy it like this......and that sure is a pretty table.

Vintage T.E. Green English mixing bowls ~ love these and use mine almost daily.

As you can see, SuzAnna's continues to draw us back, week after week, month after month..............always fun things to see, to buy for our homes, or to give as gifts...................and always the warmest welcome from the best of friends.

Oops! I needed a little break.......

Know I should have been in the garden yesterday morning but meeting Vanessa for a a little fun and retail therapy at SuzAnna's had to be squeezed in too! Will show more pics later of the fun things we found ~ gets better all the time.

See you all at Rhondi's Front Porch Party tomorrow.
