LET'S GO ANTIQUING

The darling surprised me yesterday

by taking me to a special place

he and son#1 discovered over the holidays!

He said, "You're going to love it or hate it...I'm not sure!"

Well, honey, the minute we entered the front french doors,

I fell in love!

Let me show you just a small fraction of this antique store.......

There is a similar store I visit in Atlanta with

Miss M and I could just be a kid in a candy store with

antique malls!

I almost purchased one of these Victorian santas...

if one had been pink, I would have.

The santa's were gorgeous.....however,

I promised myself not to buy one more Christmas item.

This display was just goreous!

I loved these art blocks....made a stunning display...

I think I could make these!

Wouldn't you love to add him to your collection!

I have decided that next year,

I WILL have a Victorian tree....somewhere!

Love her....absolutely LOVE her!

So what did I come away with you ask?

This darling vintage dog....who now resides on the mantel...

And, this beautiful vintage cut crystal Lo-Ball glass

with a beautiful porcelain coaster.

This glass is for the darling.....it is simply beautiful and delicate.

I wish I had bought a pair of them...

sounds like a good reason to enjoy a second time around!
