Shopping with Sisters


Such a fun time...................shopping on a Saturday with lovely sisters. Not my sisters, unfortunately I was not blessed with any, but my wonderful friend Vanessa at Vanilla Lavender and her beautiful sister Telma who is visiting from their home in Brazil. Little Luna, Vanessa's sweet daughter came along too and, after coffee and chocolate biscuits (Luna ate most, ha! ha!) at my house, we all headed over to SuzAnna's for some serious treasure hunting.

We also met up with Deborah of Pictures, Pots & Pens - she was ready for a break after a week of taking care of her adorable grandsons!


Hard to believe lovely Telma had just arrived in the USA - her first visit - at 11 PM the previous night and the sisters had been up chatting until 2 AM!



As always, lots of fabulous stuff at this wonderful shop. Owners Susie and Jenny, along with their helpers Linda and Gail, have been busy redecorating, color co-ordinating, organizing, you name it.....................everything looked ready to be snapped up and taken to someone's home.



Isn't it great to have warmer weather to go antiquing?
Do you venture out early on the weekends to hit your neighborhood yard/garage sales?
Do you ever take off on an antiquing road trip with your girl (or boy) friends?
I think during this shift in the economy, buying second hand makes so much sense.
Happy hunting.

The Door is Always Open


The French inspired guest room welcomes you ~ but when empty something pretty was needed to prop the door open. This heavy resin, hand painted piece may have been made to use as a doorstop, it is flat on the back ~ if that was not its original function that's what it is now, and I love it!

Pretty painted 'doorstop' found this week at SuzAnna's Antiques.



And then...............step through the door into the room and what do you see but this fabulous French clock attached to a black iron stand. This is a beautiful and thoughtful gift from my friend Vanessa at Vanilla Lavender - we met for a little treasure hunting and lunch on Tuesday and had a great time together. Thanks again Vanessa ~ truly love the clock and will always think of you when I glance up at the armoire.
