Hi sweet friends,
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful birthday wishes on Friday. We had such a lovely day at Disneyland. It wasn't to busy and the weather was perfect!
I got up early this morning and went to the flea market, ALONE, for the first time in 7 years! This never happens. Usually my boys are with me, but my little one was still sleeping and my oldest actually wanted to stay home with Dad. It was so nice to be able to browse without everyone pulling me this way and that and fighting with each other.
After the flea, I headed off to Trader Joe's for some Peonies and pink Stock. Have you ever smelled stock? It has the most wonderful fragrance, it fills the whole house with its sweet scent.
Here's my treasures from today:
I got this fabulous vintage German enamel pail with lid for only $15.00. The color on it is so beautiful.
I also picked up this small vintage market basket and vintage ironstone pitcher. I got the vintage monogrammed linen from Country Roads a few weeks ago.
This is the only peony that has bloomed so far, the others are all closed up.
I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to my sweet friend Amy from "Mittens". She gifted me with the Kreativ Blogger award. I am so appreciative and honored Amy.
I now need to pass on this award to 7 other Kreativ blogs that inspire me. I will list these on my blog tomorrow.
Well that's it for today, I hope you all have a lovely week.
Sincerely,
Melinda

I love the blue enamel pail. There will be so many uses for it. And the market basket has such a pretty patina and shape. Some great finds!
ReplyDeleteThe enamel pail is just the prettiest color, lucky you to find it. Lovely post.
