Happy Monday my friends ~
Today is a civic holiday in Canada. The weather has finally cooled down and it is just beautiful outside ~
My poor roses felt the hot hot temps. But look ~ I still do have blooms ~
My butterfly bush still thrives ~
It is just beautiful weather. This weather is making me smile ;-)
Some random Monday images for you to enjoy
I picked up this litte lamp at a yard sale for $2.00. Now I need a new shade ~
I picked up this little silver piece for 10 cents ~ I think it is just lovely. I love the patina ~
Time to go for a ride with Mr. Vintage. Maybe.....yes, some soft ice cream would be perfect ~ don't you think?
What are you doing today? I hope your day is filled with love and laughter ~
((((Hugs))))

Happy Saturday my friends ~ Oh my! It was a long week for me, but now it is Saturday. A day for rest and relaxation and time to visit all of my blogfriends in blogland ~
Last week, Mr. Vintage and I went for a ride. Here are some of my treasures ~
I picked up these sweet bowls. When it gets cooler, I'll make some home made soup or stew ~ yum~!
I couldn't resist these beautiful plates ~ I have an addiction I think ;-)
I love the scalloped edges of the bowls ~
I love the flowers on the plates ~ These plates make me smile (see I told you, I DO have an addiction~)
I also picked up this little blue bottle for 10 cents. I love it!
In romantic prairie style magazine, They had an article about decorating up horse shoes. Well, I just happened to have one in the shed. It turned out pretty cute ~
I had a vintage necklace that I used and I had some cowboy boot charms ~ I don't even remember where I got those, but they worked perfectly.
Do you have any horse shoes around? If you do, try it ~ I had fun doing it~
Today is going to be hot and steamy again, so, Mr. Vintage and I are going for a ride early ~
What are you doing today? Have you picked up any treasures lately?
Can't wait to hear from you
((((Hugs))))

Hello my friends ~ I hope your Saturday is going well ~
The other day, I went to the post office and picked up the mail. There was an envelope for me ;-)
When I opened it ~ what a surprise!
A lovely french linen tea towel. My friend Kim at White Whispers 2 U sent it to me ~ Oh Kim ~ Thank you so much!~ Now I had to use this right away ~
I am enjoying my new tea towel ~ I just LOVE it~!
I think it makes a lovely runner on my farmhouse table ~
What do you think?
I think blogging buddies are the VERY best~!
I think Mr. Vintage and I are going for a ride later on ~
What are you doing today? Have you found any treasures lately?
I can't wait to hear ;-)

Happy Saturday, my dear ones ~ How is your day going?
My Hibiscus is loving the shade of the front porch in these scorching temps ~
I am trying to save the rest of my potted plants, they don't like these high temps, even though I water every day ~ sigh ~
This poor little thing didn't make it. I might leave it there for visual interest ;-)
I decided that I would buy some flowers for the inside of the house ~ I love flowers, don't you?
To me, flowers make our house just feel so much more special ~
And so does this little cake plate. I picked it up at an estate sale. I just love the ruffles ~ can't wait for the temperature to cool so that I can bake a cake ~
Love the hobnail bottom ~ so cute ~
It's so hot Chessie won't even go outside. He's moping.
Cheer up Chess, this won't last long~!
What are your plans for today? Have you picked up anything special for yourself?
Please share with me ~ I can't wait ;-)
(((Hugs)))

Happy Saturday my friends ~ Do you like enamelware?
I love, love, love enamelware and have quite a few pieces.
This little bucket holds Chessie's treats ~
Mr. Vintage surprised me last night when I came home from work. He stopped at a yard sale and guess what he bought?
This little blue enamelware coffee pot ~ I just love it!~
Complete with lid ~ He also bought me this ~
This little white one will go in the camper ~
Do you collect enamelware?
Can't wait to hear from you

Hello my friends ~ First of all, I want to wish all my American Blogger Friends a Happy 4th of July week. Have fun, stay safe and enjoy ;-)
I thought I would share with you some of my treasures that I have picked up this weekend ~
This was a tin topped kitchen table and Mr. Vintage cut it down for me and now it is my coffee table. I just love it ~!
Can't hurt this table. You just wipe it off. Love it ;-)
I love this little chippy dresser. Mr. Vintage and I picked this up and left it just the way it was. It's now in my living room and holds by candles and my table cloths and napkins.
This little green chair was perfect for the little corner of my kitchen ;-)
A few little treasures for my little high chair. I finally got around to painting this chair. I found it at Pat's yard sale.
It was Canada Day yesterday so we have the day off today. I am going to finish my laundry and do some fluffing ~
What are you doing today?
Can't wait to hear
((((Hugs))))
