Sweet Sunday

Hellloooo! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Last night I fell asleep listening to the rain pattering on the roof and the wind howling.To put it plainly - it poured buckets. This morning - very windy, and the sun was out but has now been hidden by clouds. My poor pansies are wondering where it went too...

My daughter and I hung easter eggs on the cherry tree out front this morning

Please excuse the splotchy looking grass lol We have Zoya grass - so for the fall through winter to early spring it's the color of dry straw. But once the spring and summer are here - lush green. :)

I am planning to spend about an hour or so treasure hunting this afternoon and then knit some more on the Tea Leaves cardigan. My goal is to wear this on Easter....my fingers are flying! lol I'm now just past the sleeves.

I spent about 2 hours knitting on it last night while catching up on some podcast listening. I'm hoping to get in at least a few hours today after dinner.

And my most recent order from Eat Sleep Knit arrived! A yummy skein of Madelinetosh Sock in Amber Trinket.

Planning to cast on socks for my mom's birthday coming up in May - she absolutely adores anything amber which is why i chose it. I was going to go with a pretty mint green for spring but knew she'd like this better.

In other news, my hubby Kevin and I are planning to have some friends over tonight for the premiere of A Game of Thrones. Have I mentioned how utterly excited I am? lol I read every one of the books cover to cover and couldn't put them down. I'm very curious to see how the miniseries portrays the story.

I even made a treasury :)



The birthday bash 34% off sale is still on now through April 30th, so please take a peek in the shop. As always, shipping is free :)
I've also decided to add a new feature to the blog to be able to show you my favorite shops and items. No matter how hard I try my favorites list on Etsy multiplies daily. lol So, I've decided to share the love and include a favorite of mine each post. Sound good? of course. :)

First up, Flapperdoodle!

Being the lover of all things vintage that I am, I ADORE this shop!

AND these dolls!

You absolutely MUST visit Flapperdoodle and see everything for yourself!

I wish you all a happy Sunday afternoon! I will leave you with The Boswell Sisters for your listening enjoyment :)

Sweet Sunday...

Hellloooo. Another Sweet Sunday has come to an end and Monday is looming on the horizon. Sigh. (I always refer to Sundays as "Sweet Sundays". lol. I try to make them the sweetest days of my week, whether I garden, read, knit, go for a walk, take a day trip - you get the idea.)

Yesterday was an extremely busy day - my middle son just kicked off a new season of baseball so we all went to opening ceremonies at the park for photos and introductions. Gorgeous sunny day for it!

Then it was off to his opening game

He and the team won 28-1! It was quite a game!

Today, my Sunday was sweet as I deliciously did nothing but flit around the house. I planted some pansies in the pot by the front fence. I picked daffodils and brought them in so the room would fill with their perfume. I've waited all winter - I'll enjoy them as much as possible. :)

I poured through the Sunday paper, made french toast w/strawberries for the crew, caught up on laundry, and snuck in some knitting time on my Tea Leaves Cardigan. I absolutely looove the Madelinetosh Vintage in alabaster. I'm hoping to finish it to wear on Easter. fingers x'd. :)

In shop news, I just listed a charming pair of milk glass lamps - very sweet. They just need lampshades!

I will leave you today with new eye candy inspired by my son's opening game :)




I wish you all a happy week ahead!

Weekend Sale and New Finds!

Happy Saturday everyone! Yesterday I kicked off my weekend with a little treasure hunting and found this amazing set of jade green salt and pepper shakers. Unmarked, so at first I was thinking they were Jeanette glass. Well - turns out they were made in 1894 by the Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co.  I adore finding so much history in such little items :)

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, my mind immediately wonders where have these little items been on their long journey leading up to when I found them yesterday in a disheveled box?

In a sweet cottage somewhere overlooking the ocean? Maybe in a Victorian mansion at their breakfast table. In a display cabinet? Oh, if these could talk! lol

I also found sweet handkerchiefs and milk glass vases. Oh, and an adorable set of milk glass dessert dishes that are now up in the shop.

Speaking of the shop, I am holding my first sale this weekend!  April 9th and April 10th only enter coupon code HAPPY15 at checkout and receive 15% off your order! Shipping and insurance is free.

I am off to my son's opening day baseball game this evening but will post tomorrow for Sweet Sunday with many more photos. I also hope to sneak in some more knitting time on the Tea Leaves Cardigan I started.

I'll leave you today with my newest Etsy Treasury....When I Take My Sugar to Tea. Yes, I listen to the Boswell Sisters a tad too much lol.



Have a wonderful day everyone!

Helloooo!

Good Morning! I'm a treasure hunting, 1950's loving, can't-pass-a-tag-sale-without-stopping kinda girl. :)  I live in Connecticut with my husband and 3 kids. I hope you will bookmark my blog and visit here often! I will be documenting my finds on a regular basis and discussing this and that. I do visit the Brimfield Antique Show in Brimfield, MA every year and am heading to the May show! Of course, I will take you along with me!

It's a beautiful sunny morning and I'm off to my day job :) Of course, I would rather be out treasure hunting today but that pesky full time job of mine tends to get in the way lol. I'm looking forward to hunting this weekend, beginning Friday afternoon with a stop to look at some jadeite lamps! Can't wait to see them!

The shop is beginning to fill and looks pretty nice if I do say so myself. The banner was created by OhMeOhMy Designs on Etsy - she did a fabulous job!

New items in the shop:

Jeanette Jadeite measuring cup

and this amazing milk glass creamer & sugar bowl set. I almost don't want to part with it - so sweet!

Please bookmark the shop and visit often - new items will be added as I find them.

And I say a fond farewell today to the lovely 1940's Fire King jadeite vase that just sold and is off to its new loving home...

If you are in search of something in particular that you collect or are wanting for your home please let me know! I will gladly keep my eye out while treasure hunting. You are under no obligation to buy, but I will certainly send you a message and photo of the found item. I want all my customers to be happy, happy, happy!

I hope all of you have a wonderful Wednesday! I will leave you with two Etsy Treasuries that I just recently created for your viewing pleasure.

The first is the Circus! I especially love the tattooed man...

The second is Vintage Backyard Barbecue - sigh. so sweetly retro.

Enjoy your day!
