Friday Fun!!!

It was the worst of times <rain, freezing cold> and the best of times <Shopping the Shed>!!
Despite mean Mother Nature there were so many treasures and inspirations. Lots of shoppers even at 1100am when we arrived. What a cute shed <flower box at the window of course> with interesting items..loved the metal, garden chandelier decorated with moss at the light socket, vintage garden statues <I shuda bought the swans>, painted wood furniture and darling terrariums, tiny moss gardens -you know the fairies would live there!  Of course I had to buy the macaroon cookies from the parisiennefarmgirl  - delicious, absolutely delicious - the lavender was my favorite! If you have a moment please visit their blogs www.savvycityfarmer.com  and www.parisiennefarmgirl.com  to enjoy pictures of the event!!

A New Kid On The Block !!

While shopping at the JunkWarehouse in Barrington I notice a new  small store...Tattered Tiques <with the cutest terrier dog face in their sign> specializing in antique/shabby/vintage/farm/industrial treasures. My eyes saw many tempting items but since I'm cleaning out vs bringing home decided to hold off a buying spree...for at least the rest of this month! Their web site is www.tatteredtiques.com .

Hairry has been on night patrol, I have the day shift but no Roxy! Neighbor reported the fox by her pond--with a fishing pole no doubt!
