It's Peony Time!

Are peony's blooming yet where you live? They sure are here in Michigan and
I took the opportunity to do a couple photos shoots. I think my camera is on the way
"out", but I am trying to nurse it along and hopefully it will last for awhile yet.

I had to include some AQUA because I think pink and aqua are just meant to be
together!

I think these photos with the books are off color. The flowers look more lavender to me than the true pink,
but they are pretty anyway...that temperamental camera again. OR it could be the photo taker??? 

Every time I notice that a few more flowers are out in full bloom, I run and pick them and stick them all
over the house. I just LOVE peony's! Can you tell?

I am including a couple photos of my old fashioned roses also. The smell from these is just
heavenly! They have been on our property for decades and I have dug up several starts,
plopped them in the ground and they grow wonderful for me. These photos are from starts
that were planted.

Hubby picked these light pink ones for me along the roadside a few days ago.

I had a plant exactly this color , but it didn't survive so I need to find another one.
I think it was called Sarah Bernhardt and my bff gave me a start...hmm...maybe
she has another one. You never know. :)

I love mixing all the shades of pink from very light pink to dark. I would also
like to get some white peony's to plant...someday.

I hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend. My oldest granddaughter turned 16 yesterday and I
will be going to a masquerade party for her. That should be FUN! The older I get the more I
enjoy doing fun things and I am really looking forward to it. I may not look young, but I can
still party. ha!

Treasures found ~

I have picked up a few treasures here and there in the past few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed  each
and every  moment of the *treasure hunt*.  Sometimes it takes a long time to find something
that speaks to my heart, but when it does I know it instantly.

Aren't these the greatest books ever?? I love them!!

I found several gorgeous pieces of lace and three of them had vintage rhinestones already attached.
I have never seen that before, but I love it! I also found spools for 30 cents each and picked out a
few. I may have to get some more...:)

I fell in love with this SILK ribbon instanty. It is so soft and the perfect color .

I love all the pieces together.

I couldn't go home without this Italian postcard. Isn't it sweet? 

I was in pure heaven when I found this chair at the Goodwill this past week! I was in line to
pay for a couple items, glanced beside me and there was this chair!!! I knocked a few people
over trying to get at it  grabbed it right away! Truthfully, no one was even giving it a second
glance and am I ever glad! It now resides in my bedroom. Perfection I say...:)

What have you found lately ?

Vintage seltzer bottle, old books and a clock

I can't believe that White Wednesday is here again already.

The days just seem to fly by anymore and I am getting

farther and farther behind. ugh.

Scrambling for some white photos I took a few pictures

today of some goodies I recently acquired.

This vintage alarm clock is one of them.

Isn't she a beauty? $3.00 at the lake sales...the

day before they officially started, but a few of the

sales were open early. Lucky me!

I recently purchased some more of Rosemary's

tags over at Ozma of Odds. I just love her style and

anything she makes is gorgeous! This time I purchased

some bell jar tags and I love them!

This is another gorgeous tag by Rosemary.

Several weeks ago I went to an antique store that I had not been to before and found a few neat vintage books and the price was amazing as well. Love the photos on the front.

{sorry the photos aren't better, but the lighting was not good at all today}

Another one of my recent finds. A vintage seltzer bottle for $4.95! Can you believe it? I passed it up the first time, but just couldn't do it the second time I was there. It even has a *S* on it so it was meant to be. :) {Made in Germany as well}

More books I found and another Rosemary tag. Do you see a theme running here?? lol.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my recent finds.

Now stroll on over to Faded Charm and find more

wonderful White Wednesday posts.

PS. I cleaned out my booth on Monday of all days , but

it was the day that hubby could help. Be looking for

some of my things on Etsy soon. I gotta get this stuff

outta here! :)

Blessings~

Vintage Goodness ~

I love antiquing~

Show me a thrift store or an antique store

and once I go in you may never see me again.

Okay, I might come out once in a while

to eat, but otherwise forget it ~

Loving antique buttons, laces... Ribbons...

Pottery...

Books...

just about

anything

old~

I fell in love with the lace covered mason jars

that Robin Brown had at her wedding.

I thought I would try it.

I didn't want to glue the lace

on the jar in case I want to use it for something else.

I can see these hanging on a porch

looking so pretty at night time all lit up.

Have a "vintage goodness" kind of day today.

Blessings~
