Feathered Nest Friday

wish I entered this one instead!

Have a great weekend!

happy june...

Remember the wonderful old tin piece that I found when I went treasure hunting with my girlfriends...

I sold the fruit picker and the bed! 

It never made it to the shop ~ I put it in the den...

I put my cute little book bundle on the shelf with it...

I think a tattered bundle or two might look good on the other end.

I love it...

I am joining these lovely ladies today...

Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday

and 

Courtney's Feathered Nest Friday

Thank you ladies!

It looks like a rainy Saturday this weekend.

What is a camper to do in the rain ~ go shopping of course!

I need to start shopping for Jake's graduation party next weekend as well as hitting the antique shops downtown.

I am hoping to find some new treasures to fluff my booth with for the new month.

Happy June!

I have a busy week ahead with Jake's senior prom, senior banquet night and he graduates next Friday with a party to follow on Saturday.

Between all that and booth fluffing, I don't know how much blogging I will be doing.

At least I might be too busy to get too teary eyed.

Ya, right.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

sweet stack...

I went treasure hunting with Mary Ellen this past Monday.

We had a great time!

In addition to finding some new pieces for our booths, we are starting to gather pieces for the next At Home With White Show at the shop.

While we did not hit the vintage jackpot we did find a few things.

Of course I found something for myself too...

Vintage books are one of my weaknesses and the colors on the top book of this sweet stack are perfect for my studio.

They are beautifully worn...

I would like to untie this pretty package and browse through the pages.

If you look closely, the book behind the top one is "The Adventures of Pinocchio"...

I would like to untie this pretty package, but just can't yet...

It is just too cute!

I think I will admire it for a while just like this...

Blogger is still not letting me visit some of you or let me leave comments on some of your blogs.

I feel like I am missing out on so much and hope it will be fixed soon!

I am joining in on the fun at Vintage Inspiration Friday and Feathered Nest Friday.

thank you girlfriends...

A few Fridays ago I posted about making memories.

As I was taking these photos for my post today I could not help but smile as I remembered when I bought this.

It was a rainy Friday in July and my girlfriends and I left the kids and husbands back at the campground and enjoyed a day of shopping, ending up at a local Mexican restaurant for lunch margaritas and lots and lots of laughs!

I purchased this old tattered and torn vintage inspired "book".

It may look like just an old book...

But I am going to use this secret compartment to hold my memories from this summer.  While relaxing this weekend at my campground I am going to take a few moments and write down some of my favorite memories and bring them home and put them in my old "book".

Now every time I look at this treasure I will remember my girlfriends and all the fun we had that day.

Thank you Lisa, Karen, Beth and Sue for a memorable day and for a lot of other moments in time that will be remembered in my "book" for years to come!

Love you all!

I am sharing today with Debra for Vintage Inspiration Friday and Courtney for Feathered Nest Friday.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Oh...and for all you locals The Wrentham Country Store is having a big sale this weekend right through next week!

Hope you can make it!
