Some just have "the touch" ~

When I visited Scott's Antique Market Friday,
I found a few spaces that truly made me stop dead in my tracks.
I talked to the dealers and asked permission to photograph
their beautiful vignettes and told them I would love to post about them!
Here is the first one for you viewing pleasure:

Amy of Hive for The Home

Beautiful, wouldn't you say?

You can visit Amy HERE to say hello!!

Another space was Jill's.

I've always loved her taste.
She used to sell at Lakewood Antiques South and

now sells at Scott's!

Here is Jill's website ~ House About It

if you'd like to pay her a visit!

GORGEOUS!
Don't you just love their style??

They both DEFINITELY have "the touch" ~

I hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing Sunday sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Every cloud has a silver lining ~

Well, my little junkin' expedition with Cheryl of Zany Mayd was SO rained out!!! But no matter....we were really glad to meet one another!! Cheryl and her niece Jenny arrived before me (big surprise, I'm always arriving at things by the skin of my teeth) but at least they had plenty to keep them occupied. It wasn't raining at first and they poked around outside and were really amazed at all Scott's Antique Market had to offer. To me, outside. IS. THE. BEST! When I arrived it was like we already knew one another, isn't that the most wonderful thing EVER?
That's what blogging does.
We were already friends, but just need to see one another in person.....

We dug around outside in the junk, and it was sprinkling all the time. But no matter, we found a few tiny things to buy. But soon....the rain really started coming down and we just had to go inside. Well, inside the buildings at Scott's is a whole other story. Stuff is crazy expensive and not condusive to serious junkin'. To me it's geared for decorators with client's that have deep pockets and believe me, deep pockets are something I DON'T have.

But we made the best of it and still ended up finding a couple of treasures. We had lunch together and then found a few more tiny things. Cheryl and her sweet niece were just precious and truly they were the silver lining of the day!!! We parted ways and I hit a few more places for some things before heading home.
Here is my little bounty :)

A little test tube love....

I've been obsessing since I missed that wonderful

set at Queen of Hearts ~

the sad thing is I paid almost as much for this as the old set was!

a few antique linens ~ a container for my bebe topiary.....

Sweet handmade gifts from Cheryl ~ I love this nest!!!

Magazines from lovely Walmart ~

Eggs from Marshall's because I have a thing for eggs....

Feathers on clearance at Walmart because, I'm sure you know, I have a thing for feathers!

So, not many finds at all ~ but a good time with a sweet blog friend was the absolute best and a true gift!!!!

I did find a few amazing spaces inside Scott's that let me take a few photos for you ~

I'll be sure to share them with you soon....

Wishing you a great Saturday my sweet friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn

My kind of field trip!

Sunday we headed out to Scott's Antique Market. It was cool, a little breezy and just perfect weather to me!! There were so many wonderful things ~ I took a few photos to give you an idea of all the treasures they had......

Look at the pair of pugs....just watching the shoppers walk by!

Here is my little pile of treasures that I found....the SWEETEST little baby doll ever, and another little china doll and a few pieces as well, a couple of old books, one is so cool with crafts from the 40s, door plates, an old ruler, frames for me to take apart and use, and these most wonderful huge acorns!!! Have you ever seen acorns this large?? What tree do you think they came from? I just had to have a bag ~ I don't know what I'm going to do with them but they are just so cool!

Isn't this the cutest handbag?

Crepe paper roses instructions!!

And last but not least, a sweet set of curtains made from beautiful roses fabric ~

I hope that you enjoyed the photos....I really only love shopping outside ~ that's where the good stuff is!!

Wishing you a very happy Tuesday sweet friends,

xxoo, Dawn

Un.be.lievable goodness!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. I know I sure did . . . I'm so very thankful. Two of our sons live in Savannah and they both called me ~ plus we had an amazing meal prepared by my husband Sunday evening with our other three sons. He invited his mom and dad and cousin over to eat as well. He made the most amazing chicken salad with grapes and toasted pecans served on croissants. Homemade coleslaw, a garden fresh dish of tomatoes, cucumbers and vidalia onions in a vinagrette, fresh fruit and for dessert, fresh strawberries in whipped cream! It was all so delicious.

And you remember I went to Scott's Antique Market Saturday, right? Here is my bounty and I have to tell you, I am so, so pleased with my treasures from this trip!! The map, yes, it's of Paris!!! Old watch pieces, clip-on earrings, a very old checkbook . . . Well, look below and you'll see it all. I hope you don't mind all of the photos but I just wanted to share it all with you!!

My most favorite, wonderful items are the two Mary Frances books. OMGoodness. They are divine. The sewing book has patterns for dolls!!! I've just got to make some of them!! I'll feature the inside of the book soon ~ what's so sweet is the little girl in the book learns how to sew and a little fairy helps her learn!!! You know I love that ~

Thanks so much for looking at all of these!!! I hope you have a great day today!

xxoo,

Dawn
