Ahhhhhh ~

Hello ~ I hope all of you are well and have had a good week

Mr. Vintage and I are back from our little respite ~ it was so relaxing and wonderful.  The campground was beautiful, as you can see ~

We relaxed and had wonderful meals and ofcourse, picked up a few treasures ;-)

Mr. Vintage makes a delicious breakfast

Ahhhh relaxing with a cup of tea and a good read ~ The tea cup is one of my new treasures ~

Here is one of the little shops we stopped at ~

This little shop ~ tea house is just beautiful.  The ginger breading on the top reminds me of icing on a cake

Another little treasure shop ~

I just love these little chippy doors, but alas, I did not take them home ~

This little guy stopped by to say hello every morning ~

There is such beauty ~ even in the weeds

We also went to the market in Aylmer, Ontario.  Look at the SIZE of these radishes.  You betcha we bought a bunch ;-)

Everything looked just yummy

Little Vintage gal showed us a wonderful time once again. 

But it is good to be home ~ Next time, I'll share with you my treasures ~

What did you do this week? 

Can't wait to hear from you

((((Hugs))))

Fluffing my camper ~

Happy Sunday everyone ~ As you may know, Mr. Vintage and I have decided to go camping this Labour Day weekend and I have been busy fluffing my camper

We absolutely need fresh vintage bedding.  So comfy ~

A beautiful shabby quilt that will keep us cozy if the weather is chilly at night ~

Vintage pillow cases and sheets are just perfect ~ don't you think?

This looks sooo comfy ;-)

I bought this enamelware match box a while ago.  I use it for napkins. 

Ofcourse, my chippy little chickens are ready to go ~

We'll be on the road this Saturday  and ofcourse, I will take you with me ~  are you ready? 

The biggest thrill is ~

Mr. Vintage had this made for the camper.  I love it~!  Soooooo, if you see us go down the road, just toot toot ~ hello ;-)

What have you been doing today?

Can't wait to hear ~

((((Hugs))))

Wonderful Surprise ~!

I hope everyone's week is going well ~

My week has been hectic but it's been a lovely week as well ~

Something arrived in the mail ~!

A little while ago, I won a giveaway from Susan (and Bentley ofcourse) at Ash Three Cottage ~  I was so excited to receive this.  A wonderful magazine ~!

Susan and I have become wonderful friends and I just think she is an absolute sweet heart ~ stop by her blog for a visit.  It is full of sweet sweet posts, wonderful eye candy and ofcourse, Bentley ;-)

Susan and Bentley ~ thank you.  I will enjoy this.  I am saving it as Mr. Vintage and I have decided to go away camping for a couple of days over the Labour Day weekend.

Ahhhh ~ a cup of tea, relaxing and savouring a wonderful magazine.  I can hardly wait to go ~     ;-)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.  Mine has started out just perfect.

What you are doing today?

Chickens and Roses ~

Hello ~ I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend ~

Today was a really fun day ~ I started out by fluffing my nest ~ then Mr. Vintage and I had coffee in the back yard ~

Yes my friends, we had coffee with the chickens ~

We love to let the chickens out in the yard and watch them.  They are very comical

Rosie is very curious and loves to peck and scratch ~

What are you girls doing in my garden?

This is Gabby ~ she loves to cluck and squawk ~

I have always wanted a milk bottle carrier and I finally found one on Etsy and guess What?  ~ she arrived today ~

I just love it on my farmhouse table ~ sigh ~

After our coffee with the chickens, Mr. Vintage and I went grocery shopping...on the way he stopped at a flower shop and we went in.  Yes, my friends he did, he did, he bought me roses ~ just for me ~

Aren't they beautiful?  I split them up and put the creamy ones in the kitchen and the pink ones in the living room ~
The house smells heavenly ~

Thank you Mr. Vintage ~ It's not even my birthday, our anniversary ~ nothing ~ but he said I was worth it.  I love you Mr. Vintage ~

Tonight I am making lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies.  ~mmmmm~ can't wait

How is your day going?

Can't wait to hear

(((((Hugs)))))

I think I'm tired ~

Hello my friends ~ I am sooooo tired ~ but quite happy ~

This is how my weekend started out ~

Mr. Vintage helped me ~ he peeled them ~

The stewed tomatoes ended up just lovely ~ then, we decided to do another hamper of tomatoes ~ really?

Now, we not only have stewed tomatoes....We have tomato basil sauce and tomatoes, green peppers and onions (I use this to make cabbage rolls)... I'm pooped  ~

Ofcourse, I couldn't be satisfied with all this work, I made soup (an easy peasy dinner)  ~ I think I'm losing it ;-)

The temperature was only 72 degrees when we decided to can.  Perfect Weather.  So...., I had a pork hock and made yellow split pea soup and home made bread.

It was a busy day, but with Mr. Vintage's help, it was really fun ~

Thank you Mr. Vintage for the help.  This winter, we are REALLY going to appreciate all the work. ~

What did you do this weekend?  Do you do any canning?

Please let me know that I am not the only crazy one here ;-)

(((Hugs)))
