Amazing french antique mall booth

I sure have been doing a lot of blog posts lately

haven't I? I go from one or two a week to several,

but I have just had a couple of very interesting

weekends that I had to share with you.

On the way up to visit with our

daughter and her family we stopped at an

antique mall that I found on our last visit.

I was in awe when I found a french

booth this time around. I loved everything

about it...all the goodies and the displays so let

me take you along with me today. I know

you will love it too!

This is the cutest ever vintage french water glass

and carrier. I opened it up and inside is a small

clear glass that says, "made in france" on

the bottom. I had never seen anything like it

before. So cute!!

Neat french style pillow in an old bed.

I also adore old gates! someday...*sigh*

Can you say french seltzer bottles?

I also thought this wire plant stand was a keeper.

I reallyyyy wanted the papers underneath the french

pharmacy boxes with the french writing, but they were

for display only. I looked and looked for a price and could

not find any. Bummer.

French cemetary urn...very small compared

to what I see here.

I love enamel number signs.

I am thinking of doing something like this

to an oval frame I have and using it for

a wreath. I think I can figure something out

along those lines. :)

{the linens you see in the middle of it are not part

of this booth. They are showing through the window

from another booth}

Truthfully I could have just bought the whole booth

if my pocketbook would have allowed.ha!

Loved these doorknobs too , but a girl can only have

so much stuff right?? I am already cleaning out stuff

and donating it to the church garage sale so I need to

be really choosy with what I bring home. If I still

had a booth I would not be so choosy because I could

just schlep it up there eventually.

Neat little zinc trays...I looked at these for a long time

as well.

I wish I had gotten a better photo of this darling

vintage french lunchpail. It was light blue enamel

with white speckles and it had a little removable

tray underneath the lid. So, so cute!

I know there were a lot of photos and I hope you enjoyed

your tour of the french booth. I took so many photos in

it that I am surprised they didn't chase me out! :)

Blessings~

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

...it's the hap-happiest season of all...

vintage pair s and p's...

$1.00

Made in Japan

score!

I am sure you have seen these adorable little birdies

before as they are appearing all over blogland.

I just think they are so cute!

I scored seven of them on my outing last week

to the city.

This was also a wonderful find at Home Goods. I have

never seen anything like this at that store before.

It is huge at 24 inches square with a feather/down

insert and is comes with a zippered cover too.

Very squishy and nice.

Just a little update...grandbaby number 7 will soon arrive. She is due in 10 days so we are anxiously awaiting Ainsley's arrival. I know she will be tiny, beautiful and precious just like her big sister Annika.

We had Thanksgiving at my parents home on Saturday evening. We feasted on turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, squash casserole, broccoli casserole, stuffing, salad, deviled eggs, rolls, cherry pie, coconut pie and apple pie. The food was delicious as it is every year and we had a wonderful time with family.

In case you need a quick delicious salad recipe:

Lettuce { I used a head of lettuce and a package of spring mix} 2 oranges { cut up in chunks} Craisins, {dried cranberries}, Toasted pecans Poppy seed dressing{ I used Marzetti brand} Everyone loves this salad so I took it again this year. I figure why mess with a good thing. :)

I want to wish each of you a most blessed Thanksgiving!!
