Capturing beauty through cell phone images

Hubby and I hopped in the car and wandered around the countryside last Friday. We headed for
Blissfield , Michigan where I love to go antiquing. I was hoping to find some old jewelry pieces
for my altered bottles, but I didn't find anything except pure
 BEAUTY.

These first few pictures were taken on my cell phone at Blissful Living.  If you are ever in the area,
this store is a MUST see.  It is always so gorgeous. All this white and aqua just drew me in.
LOVE the aqua and white together.

I could take this hutch home with me if I had the place to put it {and the funds}

Another gorgeous piece!  Does it get any better than this? 

What a pretty display of old lace.

Mercury glass, silver and aqua...what more could a girl want? 

Loved this old suitcase display 

I also found Tattered Gypsy's booth in one of the antique stores and I took a
few pics. Isn't the chest above amazing??  Love it! I found out later that she was working in
her store {that will open soon} just down the sidewalk! Had I known I would have stopped
and chatted with her.  

I fell in love with these adorable hats...now if I only had someone to buy one for. ha! 

Love the stools that she makes. This one has Jeanne D Arc living wrapping paper adhered to the top. 

I hope you enjoyed my little tour. I can't believe the photos turned out as good as they
did because I do not have a fancy phone. Just a basic model so I was happy to see that these
came out crisp and clear for the most part.

Happy Monday!! 

He loves me...he loves me not...he loves me...

The origin of the word Daisy is Anglo Saxon

“daes eage” literally meaning “day’s eye”.

It was called this because daisies open at dawn

as the day is just beginning.

I picked a few daisies along the edge of our

property and snapped a few photos.

This will be a busy week for me as my sister and hubby

are visiting from PA. I doubt I will be in blogland

much , but will play catch up next week.

Blessings~

Tickled pink to be CROWNED

Thank goodness the storms are past and the power

is back on . We are very thankful to God that we didn't

get anything worse. One tree limb down is hardly worth

even talking about compared to what others have

gone through.

This is my latest exciting find that I just had to share

with you. After fluffing my booth last week I decided

to stop at another antique mall...almost didn't because

it seems that they have the same old stuff.

I was thrilled to find not only one , but FOUR of these

old crown canning jars! I had never even heard of them

until I read a post from Janis at Rust and Ruffles.

I thought never in a million years that I would

find any...I guess I was wrong!

There are at least two or three different designs and the

glass inserts in the lids even have crowns on them.

How cool is that?

{We do love our crowns here in blogland!}

They are made in Canada and I don't know a thing about them except that I love them. I tried and tried to get better pictures, to no avail. I am thinking they may show up the crown design better filled with water so I will have to try that soon.

What do you think of my latest find?? I handed over $2.50 each for these beauties

and almost ran out the door.lol.

At the same antique mall I purchased this wine holder

for $4.00. I don't drink wine, but I just had to get it...

I love the wire design

and it made a great carrier for the jars!

happy day~
