This was a bad winter for buying as sales were few and far between,but that is over now and I got some wonderful things the last 3 weekends.

My friend Ellen and I went out for the past 2 Saturdays. Last week we drove through a blizzard for more than an hour. At one stop the wind was bitterly cold and severe. We stopped there again yesterday and it was 20 degrees,the sun was shining,and the "peepers",(frogs) in the wetlands across the road were singing up a storm. One week and the change was remarkable. 



I love the table and it is going to be my new coffee table. It has been cut down already so I can safely make it a little shorter,I could never be the first to shorten a table.! I love the paint,and it has a leather top.


I think the cake plates are very interesting. The man has a mug in his hand and on the back it say"The Favourite Tea." Very cool. The silver has cherubs hauling carts full of flowers engraved,so I may have to keep that. The towel rack is a beauty with the makers name and info stamper on the back board. As usual there is fabric,rag balls,and quilt squares. This is just a little glimpse of some of the treasures for the upcoming shows.

The "Greensville" show is Fri.May 2nd  11-7, Sat.May 3rd 10-4. Christ Church Hall-92 Highway 8, Greensville. Regulars call it the "Linen ladies" show.

Then it moves on to Christie. Largest antique show in Canada. Sat. May 24    8-5 .  Barb and I are at Booth S4. New corner for us.

That same day in NOTL, at my friend Hilary's house,we have a garden sale at 65 Niagara St. 10-3 and it is also on May 31  10-3. We have plants,garden items,antiques,linens,everything to help you entertain and create a magical garden. We restock for the second week.

Then there is the Antiques at the Market, in Niagara on the Lake.  Sat. June 7th  right beside the farmers market, in front of Shopper's Drug Mart on Hwy.55.
That is all for now. Hope to see you soon.
