Late August Flowers

As most of you  know, I don't do alot of blogging in the summer.  One thing

I do enjoy doing is gardening and my flowers have really taken off this year.

Here are some snaps that I took a few weeks back.  The flowers are even

more nuts now...they are growing like crazy in this 95+ degree heat. 

I hope you enjoy them...

I hope you enjoyed my little piece of summer!

Jo-Anne Coletti's "The Feminine Home" ~ Where The Heart Is

Well girls, it's almost the end of July and you all know what's happening

at the beginning of August don't you?  If not, where have you been?  (*_*)

It's time for the newest edition of the The Feminine Home by my dear friend,

Jo-Anne Coletti!  The second edition of her book is coming out next week

and this one is entitled Where The Heart Is.  It promises to be even better

and more lovely than her first edition if you can even imagine that!  It

 sure will be hard to top, but if anyone can pull it off, Jo can!

You can hop on over to her web site Vintage Rose Collection

http://www.vintagerosecollection.com

and preorder your copy of this highly anticipated book!

I will leave you now with this glorious picture that I came across!

Isn't it just the most perfect pink room ever!  So beautiful!

Have a lovely day!

Hollyhock Heaven!

Those of you who have followed my blog for any length of time will know that

I do not do alot of blogging during the summer.  In fact, I am lucky to get in

three or four posts during the summer months.  Why you ask?  Well...I just

hate being inside!  I would much rather be out in the garden puttering around

or just sitting on the porch taking in the beauty of it all.  My web site suffers,

my blog is neglected and my Etsy site grows stale, but I'm sorry, I just can't

help it.  It's all worth it to me to enjoy the beauty of every summer day... 

So today I thought I would show you my pretty hollyhocks that are in my

front garden.  I haven't planted any for years and years, but they just keep

coming up and this year they are just beautiful!

I love all of the different colors mixed in together!

So English cottage!

I just added this medallion after the above pictures were taken.  The brick wall

was so bare and needed some class so I went over to Hobby Lobby and found

three lovely pieces that "married" well together.  I love the way it looks!

I hope you enjoyed my flowers!

New Vintage Finds ~ Yummy Roses & More!

It's been awhile since I've blogged about adding new treasures to the web site

so I thought that I would show you what I listed today including this darling

antique pitcher with pretty pastel colored carnations on the front.

This lovely antique moustache cup is so pretty and is also

available in the Vintage Finds section of the web site.

This pretty hand painted porcelain lotion/soap dispenser is so adorable

and it is signed by the artist.  The same artist hand painted the lovely

hat pin holder that is pictured below.  Both are listed in Vintage Finds.

This pretty gravy boat set has two pieces that include a gravy boat

and matching underplate adorned with the prettiest pink roses.  The

pattern is called "Tiara" and it is made in Bavaria.

Last but not least, here is a set of the most fabulous vintage pink

kitchen utensils with 1950's salmon pink handles.  I just love this set!

If anything speaks to you, you can find these treasures in the

Vintage Finds section of our web site!  Thanks for stopping by!

More Treasures At Treasures Antique Mall!

A few posts back I featured the outdoor area of Treasures Antique Mall in

Springville, Utah.  I took tons of pictures that day so today I thought that

I would continue on with some of the inside shots of this fantastic antique

mall and show you some of the "treasures" that await you inside!

This lovely garden themed display greets you as you walk in the front door.

Lots of adorable vintage McCoy plant pots, pretty tulips, birdhouses and

other sweet vintage treasures are included...love the vintage china on

display inside the white dresser and in the lovely old brass birdcage!

On the other side of the entry way is this lovely antique bedroom suite.

So grab a shopping cart and let's get going!

The very first booth in the mall belongs to my friend Paula.  She consigns

items with me on my web site and she has a total of four booths in the mall.

Yes, she's a go-getter!  This booth is her vintage black and white booth that

is filled with french style items, vintage wedding toppers and lots of great

items with a black and white theme...and some gold too!

Pretty tole trays, ornate columns...lots of cool stuff!

This cabinet is filled with vintage and antique cake toppers.

So many lovely pieces!

Check out this extremely cool Victorian era velvet hat complete with

antique millinery flowers around the middle and a matching velvet flower.

Stop by soon for my next post where I will continue on down the

aisle of this amazing antique mall here in the state of Utah!

My Gazebo Is Ready For Summer!

Summer is right around the corner so today I decided it was time to get

my gazebo all spruced up for those hot days and warm evenings ahead.

I have a mixture of things that I like to put in the gazebo and it never

looks the same from one year to the next.  Yes, I would like white wicker

furniture, but that will have to wait and some of the things are not quite

ready to take the the thrift store, yet they're not right for the house, so

they often end up outside somewhere in the summer.

I have a few vintage hooked rugs that I don't really want in the house

anymore so they ended up out here...I like it!  (*_*)

Above all, it has to be comfy!

I wish that I had more of these old rugs to cover more space, but as it is

they will probably be getting wet from the underground sprinklers.

I love this statue out here.  She's quite banged up and I don't really want

her in the house, but I don't want to get rid of her so...

Some comfy rose pillows and faux flowers (hey, they're low

maintenance out here!) complete the romantic scene.

This candle will look pretty at night!

I have a chandelier for those late nights and this year I added some

pretty umbrellas and oriental style paper lanterns to the ceiling.

My little vintage pink wrought iron table completes the scene.

I hope you enjoyed your visit!
