Just a LITTLE SNOW!



Do you remember when I asked for some snow for Buffalo?
Yeah, it was around Christmas time.
Someone heard me too late.


Arbor House Lane covered in snow.



In a couple of months the birds will be fighting each other over this bird house.
It will be time to wander the garden shops looking for new flowers for the garden.

Now there is plenty of time to ponder on a new garden design.
Time to work on new flooring in the children's rooms.

I want to say thank you to all who have stopped by to visit.
I have been busy, busy and miss posting.
Hopefully I will have some new projects and whites to share soon.

Today we bake cake and celebrate Mr. M.'s birthday.

New Finds and A New Friend



Sunday I went to one of my favorite flea markets at the Port of Entry Square.
It is not the largest by far, but I have been going to this flea market for at least 20 years.

And

It has sentimental value.
It is where my first shop was located and I have such good memories of my old shop.

I found some great treasures.
The best one of all is a fellow blogger who lives in the same town as I do.
Lynne from Wonderfully Made.

At first I was excited to see a new vendor at the flea market, and one who has great treasures.
Oh, I would have liked to take home more than what I did.

A LOT!

There were two great framed maps that would have looked wonderful in my boy's room
BUT I think they are going with the Star Wars theme.
Then I started talking to Lynne and found out she is a blogger and lives local to me.

Here is some of my treasures.


I found the cutest pair of vintage cowboy curtains.
I will make my boys some pillows for their bunk beds.




Cute little ironstone pitchers and a simple silver cup.
These are a few of the treasures I acquired from Lynne.



A simple blue striped cotton shower curtain that will be made into pillows.



A twin coverlet also from Lynne's booth.
They make the best slipcovers, so soft and such texture.


A new quilt to add to my collection.
My good friend Nancy always has beautiful quilts.
Like I said, this is the summer of accepting blue for me.


A darling little birdhouse for my feathered friends.


An amazing aqua bench that has already found a home in my downstairs bathroom.
The little shelf is great for holding extra towels and magazines.



a simple zinc sap bucket that I plan to embellish with some graphics.
I like the height, it will work perfect for my white hydrangeas. 
  


I also found the amazing black frame and a little white bench at Lynne's booth.
I wasn't kidding when I told her how excited I was that she was at the flea market.
She has a great eye.
I am really wishing I had bought one of the maps, maybe she will be at the next flea market in August.

Thanks for stopping by.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
