sad faces made me happy...

Did this weekend fly by or what?! The weather here was not the best but I still managed to sneak in a yard sale and stopped by a consignment shop while I was camping in Plymouth this weekend. Would you like to take a peek at what I found... I think these are so sweet! I am guessing that they were doors to some kind of cabinet. Look at the blue gingham fabric inserts...

Only two have handles and the paint job is quite shabby. I know the ideas are swirling in your head too... The inserts are easily removed so today I think I will tuck them in around the nest here and there to see if they will stay or go to the shop. If they stay this may end up being my first sewing project ~ sorry ahead of time AJ for all the phone calls you might receive!! Here is a peek at what I found at the lone yard sale I went to ~ a beautiful Cornell pitcher adorned with gold roses... I have never seen one of these prints before. It must be from a series as this one is marked "November". Of course after I bought it I saw quite a few other months in the consignment shop (priced much, much higher than what I scored this for)... And here are the two sad faces that made me happy. How could this lovely young lady be sad when she is wearing the sweetest dress...
Look at this little one in the corner ~ do you think she got in trouble...

Too cute!! Well, that is what I found treasure hunting this weekend and I am sharing it all at Melinda's Vintage Summer Monday party over at Alabaster Rose Designs . Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I started my weekend with a fruity frozen drink with my girl Lisa which made me happy too (thanks girlfriend!)... Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!!

vintage summer blues...

What a wonderful weekend we had ~ hope yours was too!! I am joining a new party today. Melinda who has the most beautiful blog and boutique ~ Alabaster Rose Designs ~ is hosting Vintage Summer Mondays. She is inviting us to show our summer flea market finds! Here is what I am sharing today... I found this old chair many years ago at a flea market. It has seen a few colors over the years but is now a pale shade of blue. The old crock was my Mom's... I love these old dried Hydrangeas. They are actually from my garden! Look at the beautiful blues...

I am looking forward to treasure hunting this summer along the main streets and back roads of Cape Cod. Take some time today and visit Alabaster Rose Designs to see what everyone else is sharing. Also take a few moments to catch up on Melinda's blog and browse through her boutique. You will be a new follower for sure!

As I mentioned we had a wonderful and busy weekend. Jake's Confirmation went off without a hitch. The violin music played while all the candidates went before the Bishop was so lovely. Remember Jake's First Communion photo... Here he is on Saturday... Jim helping Jake with his tie... We had a little get together at our house after. Good weather, good food and great company! Jim's brother Jay and his wife Christine ended up staying a while so we lit the chiminea and enjoyed the fire until almost midnight! We always have fun when we get together. Their daughter Gianna was making her First Communion the next day...I don't know how they did it!! Here she is, looking like a princess... From a beautiful baby... To a beautiful young lady... Thank you Gianna for letting me share your picture! And thank you all for stopping by today ~ I hope you all have a great week!!
