These treasures only came home with me in my camera
while perusing an antique shop with a friend last week.
but oh my, I could find a place in my home for each one!
(except maybe not the bassinet!)

Hello sweet Violet. Sorry I've been absent. Coming back slowly.
LOVE that tray. LOVE that white poodle. But I know your heart stopped with those two sweet black sculptured dogs.
It's always nice to shop and browse with a good friend. I miss that.
Love your pretty Valentine hearts too ; )

GOOD TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING! OK, it is Friday. I can do this. I can make it through the day, knowing that I have Monday off and that this weekend I can play a bit.

Oh dearest,

Before Ruben and I go out on this gorgeous sunny and crisp day, I had to come by to thank you for your comment. LET'S GET SOME POLKA DOTS GOING ON HERE! Oh how I love polka dots. So French. But on a pair of shoes? MAIS OUI!!!!!!!!

Poetry. God is poetry. The scriptures are parables, spoken and illustrated by the best teacher that ever lived on this planet. The Psalms, Song of Solomon and Proverbs? My goodness, we serve a God that is all about the LANGUAGE OF LOVE.

Be well today, Anita

What a lovely way to spend the day. With a friend, antiquing! Yes! I would love to do that with you, dear Violet!! And like you, I love china with violets. I had a beautiful set of tea china, white with violets in the center of each piece. I gave it to a friend who loves violets, too, although her name was not Violet. I should have saved it for you!
have a blessed Sunday!
xx

Well you know I LOVE the poodle! And that chandelier is so gorgeous. We drive by this very expensive chandie store all the time and I always gaze in the window and dream of owning the HUGE pink one just dripping with prisms! Someone told me that nothing in there is under 6k! Yikes... a girl can dream.

Take care,
Holly

Oh! The figurine of the black borzoi canines is exquisite! How fortunate you are to have found it!
