I'm Outa Here!

Well, it's time!  I'm off tomorrow...flying home to Canada for five weeks!

Yes, I said FIVE!  I can't wait to see my family and friends and can you

believe that I'm leaving hubby at home!  Wow!  I'm even leaving him in

charge of the web site and my Etsy shoppe until I return!  He's really the

best shipper around!  (*_*)  Such a good guy!  The weather up there is

beautiful (in the 70's) so it will be just perfect!  For the record, it is going

to be 90 here in Salt Lake tomorrow!  Unreal!

So it's out the door in the morning to Salt Lake International, then on

to SeaTac (Seattle) and then home to Kelowna, B.C.  My whole trip will

only take me 4:40 and that's with a 1.5 hour stopover in Seattle so it's

not a long trip, but I love to fly so I am excited to be on the move!

Have a great October and I'll try to take

lots of cool pictures to post upon my return!

More Lovely Stuff From Treasures!

Early fall is in the air here in Utah and what better way to celebrate than

visiting a great antique mall.  Here are some pics from one of my favorite

malls, Treasures Antique Mall in Springville, Utah.

As you can see, there are lots of lovely things to catch your eye!

I am a Bessie Pease Gutmann fan and only have two antique prints.

Looking at this wall...maybe I should stock up, but they are a little on the

high side for me right now.

Here is a nice collection of vintage vanity items.

A closeup view...how pretty!

Here is a beautiful original watercolor painting of a pretty lady.  Love!

And last but not least, another Gutmann print...so charming!

I hope you enjoyed your stroll through the mall.

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!
