MR. AND MRS.

Hello everyone:)


We are back from our Son and Daughter-in-law's (second Daughter) Wedding and vacation in Turks and Caicos!!!!!!! We had sooooo much fun. More than I can ever imagine.

 Marci and Deg got married on the beach by a Minister. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and so were they!

 I love this picture. They are so happy which makes me happy. That's really what we want for our kids isn't it?

 Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous, LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

                                                         Proud Mom and Dad:)

                                                                      Marci's family.

                                                                     Our family.

 And let me tell you that before the trip I was not really a 'beach person'. But, this trip has totally changed me. I now love the beach. The colors of the water were incredible, the sand so clean. It was being in paradise. Walking up and down it every day was so calming.

 There were 17 restaurants to eat in. Between all of us we tried them all. This is one of them. Very romantic don't you think?

 There was beauty every where we turned. Our houseplants here are their hedges. Enormous!

 Our Sushi chef had everyone singing while he cooked. Delicious!!!!!

                                         I know.....breath taking isn't it?

      Bougainvillea of every color just drips with beauty everywhere.

    Fathers-in-law.  Can I just tell you how much trouble these two are;)

                               One of the places to stay on the resort. Just look at those palm trees and the color of the building:)

 Marci's Mom owns a florist and she has the best designers. These are actually silk and they brought them for the Wedding. They looked and felt like real flowers.

                          Another area to stay. Just step outside the doors and walk on the beach.

                              Ooooh and there was shopping too!!!!! 

      The staff was A+. The nicest people ever. They even  danced at the Wedding.

 No computers, no phones... I simply just had to relax, which felt a little strange at first but I kinda liked it. Brought a fabulous new book and some decorating magazines to enjoy. 

 We stayed in this area. Can you imagine waking up to such beautiful colors and gorgeous flowers every morning?

                                 Some of us played Chess.

                   While others swam and snorkeled. Lots of fun!!!!!

          Then there was volleyball. The staff against the visitors.

                                                                The Italian Villa.

 The French Villa. Nicole spent every afternoon here at a French Cafe drinking coffee and watching all of the lizards run around. I need to find one around here. I miss it!

And I leave you with this.......the girl can clear a floor with her dancing:) True story. My Daughter, love this girl!

Now that I am back I will be able to get back to blogging. I missed all of you! You brighten my days.

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:)


'Till next time...............
