A LOVELY SUNDAY

Last Sunday was a beautiful day

in this part of the country.

My daughter Joan and I got together

for the day (we left her husband at home

to watch the hockey game) while we

went antique hunting.

We are both avid collectors of

porcelain and glass.

I spent a lot of time looking at the books.

Ah, so many to choose from!

However, I didn't find any cook books that

I didn't already own.

I

A cabinet full of pottery, some very nice

Weller and Roseville pieces. 

Steins and some very nice art glass

pieces

 The very first thing I ever collected was

Pickle Castors.  This cabinet was full and certainly had

some lovely ones.  I have since sold my

collection and moved on to other things.

 A view down the aisle of one of the

shops

 This was a very nice quilt.  The colors were

soft and lovely.  We also saw several old

hooked rugs with outrageous prices on them.

 

Porcelain and some interesting carved animals. 

I can't believe that we came away empty

handed.  Seems as tho many of the booths are

empty and there was not as many elegant

antiques as we have seen in the past.

However after window shopping for

quite a while we went to one of our favorite 

restaurants and had a lovely dinner.

I had chicken breast with artichokes

in a lemon butter sauce together with a

margarita - who could ask for more on a Sunday afternoon?

Now if you think that was fun, wait until I

tell you what I did on Wednesday!

Next posting!!!

Thought for the day -

The only failure in life is the failure to try.

Have a wonderful week one and all,
