Autumn is upon us ~ and treasures

Happy Autumn everyone ~ Autumn is slowly creeping in ~ I think summer is slowly fading away like the twighlight  (although we have indian summer here)

I would like to share with you a few of my treasures that Mr. Vintage and I picked up on our trip

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Fiesta Ware ~  In Ontario it is really expensive, so I keep my eye out for a real deal.  This little cream and sugar with the tray was a real bargain ~



I just could not leave this little creamer behind ~ I love this shade of blue ;-)

Is anyone looking forward to Autumn ~ I get this nesting feeling and I love to cook and bake bread ~ yummmm

Here is my little chicken waterer  that Mr. Vintage picked up and then painted for me ~ I just love it~!

What is it about yarn that just says ~ comfy, cozy and warm ?

Well, as a PS my girls are leaving me eggs every day now ~ I hope you all spend your day eggactly as you wish~ Are you feeling the fall nesting instinct like I am ~?

Tell me, what are you doing today~?  Please tell me ~ I enjoy it so much when I hear from you ~ it makes me smile

;-)

Happy Sunday everyone ~  As you know, Mr. Vintage and I went camping ~  We visited the Aylmer, Ontario market ~ what a wonderful place

This booth had the most delicious raspberries ;-)

There are Amish here and I have to say that I Just adore them ~ they are so peaceful and wonderful people ~ and their food is absolutely the BEST

Into the market we went ~ We bought potatoes, squash, raspberries (yummmm), and so much more ~ then we spotted this ~

Isn't this just the swetest toy chest you have ever seen?

We just couldn't find a use for it (no children and no grandbabies) ~ so we left it behind.  It was VERY hard to leave this little sweety behind.

Off we went to look at the lovely homes ~

Aren't they just fantastic?

This one is my very favourite ~

Later, as we read the "Homes for Sale" paper, we found out that this home was converted into condominiums ~ what a shame ~ such a grand, grand home.  So beautiful.

On the way home, Mr. Vintage was in a playful mood and he said this was going to be our retirement home ~

A little bit of a fixer upper ~ Doncha think?  But in it's day it must have been beautiful....

Do you see the beautiful side of  things that have been tattered and torn or am I just a romantic?  I would love to hear from you ~ I always try to see beauty, even if it is not so beautiful today.  This house must hold so many beautiful memories ~

We're back and a surprise~

Hello Dear Ones ~

Mr. Vintage and I are back from our camping trip ~ It was soooo relaxing ~

We went back to our favourite spot ~ Everything looks so different than back in July, but it's still so peaceful and beautiful ~



We listened to this all night ~ so soothing

Even the goldenrod was lovely ~



Even though we were camping ~ we had such beautiful dinners ~

And an after dinner walk through here ~

And we would come out here ~

 When we got home, our little chickens left us a surprise ~

Our first egg~!

Next time I'll show you pictures of all the wonderful places we visited and the lovely Amish people.

I missed all of you ~ what have you been up to?

Can't wait to hear from you

(((Hugs)))

Morning Glory and Tomatoes ~

Hello everyone ~ Well, it certainly has been a busy day around the Vintage household. 

It has been sooo hot here in Ontario (115 F), and today we woke up to cool cool temps.  In the 50's ~

My morning glories are just beautiful ~

They are starting to grow right into the green house ~

I took advantage of the cool weather and canned tomatoes ~

mmmmm ~

The turned out beautifully ~



Mr. Vintage helped me peel all of the tomatoes ~ thank you Mr. Vingage ~ ;-)

What did you do today?

Can't wait to hear from you

(((Hugs)))

What a relief ~

Hello everyone ~ Mr. Vintage and I finally received the results of his tests ~ What a relief ~ Mr. Vintage does NOT have cancer ~ however, he will be scheduled for surgery soon to remove a part of his bowel that is riddled with diverticulitis.

He has been in pain for quite some time and it is time to move on and have this taken care of ~ Are we nervous and a little apprehensive ~ YES we are, but we will get through this~

Even though we all go through rough waters ~

We can always hope that there is smooth sailing ahead ~

The surgery is not scheduled as of yet, so Mr. Vintage and I have decided ~ yes, it is time again

to relax and go camping and enjoy each other's company ~

Enjoy the beauty of nature ~

Maybe meet a friend or two ~

Maybe find a treasure ~

or two ~ ;-)

So ~ we're planning on leaving in probably a few weeks... but you KNOW I will take you with us ~

In the meantime, it is time for the Harrow Fair this weekend and Mr. Vintage and I will take you and show you all around.  I PROMISE.

Thank you, EVERY ONE of you for your good thoughts, prayers and well wishes ~ you ARE the best

Have a wonderful week ~ See you at the Harrow Fair

(((Hugs)))

Marianne

No Mindy, sorry you can't go to the fair, sorry

Mommy, are you kidding me? I would behave ... oh well, I guess I'll stay at home with Scooter (sigh)..only if you promise to bring me home a hot dog.

Sunny Sunday ~

We are having such beautiful weather today.  The temp is around 75 degrees F and there is a wonderful breeze blowing.  I decided to wash the bedding ~

How could I resist?  There is just something that makes me smile when I see laundry blowing in the wind ;-)

I can hardly wait to lay down on line dried bedding ~ ahhhh, such a wonderful down home feeling.  It just makes me happy ~ and speaking of happy, Mr. Vintage and I went for a drive and ofcourse, stopped at a yard sale ~  We were so lucky to find this ~

Silverwood's was a Canadian milk distributor in Windsor, Ontario.  A City about 45 minutes away from Harrow.  They had other distributorships in other cities in Ontario.  This old milk crate is in wonderful condition and I couldn't resist ~

I hope all of you have a very relaxing Sunday ~ Are you relaxing today?

Can't wait to hear from you ~

((((Hugs)))
