Anticipation and Relaxation ~

Hubby and I are going to enjoy a weekend with my daughter and her family and I can't wait. Daughter, granddaughter and I will go to an Afternoon Victorian Tea at the Holly Hotel on Saturday from 2-5 pm.

"Three elegant courses are served on antique china and steaming hot imported tea is served in fancy silver and ceramic pots. First course is served warm, consisting of English-style scones and muffins with Devonshire cream and flavored butters. Second course arrives in minutes with petite tea sandwiches, quiches and canapes. Third course is a *sweets* course of fruit, pastries, cakes or tortes. Our pastry chef arrives early each morning to bake for tea and select starched white linens and fresh flowers for each table."

Looking so forward to getting out one of my pretty outfits and getting all dressed up for this special occasion.
I am posting a few photos from around my home today. The first photo is of a round picture frame that I purchased at the Goodwill store a while ago and I added an old photograph. I also have a smaller frame exactly like this larger one...love them ~
Wishing you all a blessed weekend. I may not be posting again until Sunday or Monday since I will be out playing. We are going to Home Goods on the way up (and maybe on the way back too...LOL) I would also like to go to the Michaels store and I am sure we will hit some thrift stores as well. I am filled with anticipation...
Blessings~

Antique Lace & Deja Vu ~

I always have many leftover paint chip cards so I put a few to good use this week. I wrapped vintage lace around them and listed them in my Etsy store. I also printed out little victorian tags to accompany each one and I even added a vintage boutique pin to some. Love how cute they turned out~ Doesn't this lace and photo look *DREAMY*~
Deja Vu...I made the Vintage Linens sign below and sold it on ebay several months ago... ~

Fast forward to this past week when I was reading a post on the blog "My Life at Pansy Cottage" . I was so surprised when I saw the above photo that had *MY SIGN* in it. Sharon's friend had purchased it for her at a flea market in California. I had shipped some to California...but was amazed when I saw it on another blog...what a small world ~

I will be heading off to some garage sales here in a bit, so I hope I find some amazing treasures to share with all of you soon. Have a wonderful day~
Blessings~
