Fresh as a daisy......

                                Saturday morning we headed off to the market....got some pretty spring daisys....
                                  then somehow we ended up at "Antique Avenue" again......
                                     not my idea.....o.k it was....but look what I found.... 
                                these beautiful old envelopes...for just $1,now mind you I did have to do some"picking" to find them but they were worth it don't you think? I love when you stop by and let me know you've been here....just makes me soooooo happy!!! x0x0

My Dearest......

                                     An old apothecary bottle set the tone for a mantle re-do...
                                          a bit of candle light.....
                                      a silver cross & an old dried hydrangea.......
                               and a tiny piece of an old love letter we found behind a wall during the kitchen reno......"My dear Helen" it reads.....and goes on to say how sorry the writer is.....
                                 for what we will never know.....   
                                               I think spring is around the corner ......
                                         theres just something in the air.....
                                         can you feel it too?  Wishing you a lovely day......x0x0

When I asked the price it was all I could do not to squeal....ready.....$7 (time for my happy dance) did I tell you I only paid $28 for the mirror?!?!?
