a couple of today's treasures

I went to a Holiday Open House at a local antiques group shop today. As always it was all done very nice. Beautiful decor & yummy goodies.

Here are a couple treasures I picked up...one is a vintage cardboard Santa on a motorcycle, along with a too cute Kewpie type rubber doll. And for the first time ever, she's not naked! She is wearing a very slimming red hooded winter suit!

Love the buffalo plaid shirts hanging on the peg rack

A bit of a frost in the yard this week................

Pounce!!!!!!!!

CalliCat

Awh...I guess that blanket doesn't need to be put into the washing machine right now

Lovely inscription on very old bible I got in a lot of books.
The Bible was given to Anna Chase from her Aunt Marita & Uncle Thomas on Christmas 1892.

Awh I love this, front page inscription of an old (1909) ledger type book filled with handwritten recipes.

Just a few vintage goodies..

Good auction last night, though I didn't get a big haul. But I will get some pics up later today!

Today started out absolutely miserable, dark & rainy & not a day you wanted to be out & about.
But I did get over to the Dover Antiques Flea Market.
Then surprise! The weather cleared & for awhile it was just lovely out. I was able to go for a quick walk in Newmarket & took a couple pics down at the waterfront park area.
Sooo pretty, flowers & foliage were both glowing in the sun & the river was beautiful & calm.

Mirror, Mirror...

I forgot to post the pic

of these three mirrors. I got them when we went to Brimfield. They are shabbilicious, 2 in pink, one in cream. Very old, ornate & chippy frames that the dealer put new mirrors in.

October

The month of October came in feeling...just like October! We had a gorgeous September so we can't complain.
Now I start with my love/hate relationship with Fall. Love the crisp air, the beautiful foliage & all the yummy smells & cozy home decor that comes with the season. But hate that the motorhome camping & motorcycle season is winding down & that gray raw November is right around the corner.
