Day: August 13, 2019

Another road trip today with another old friend.

Today we did make it into Blossom Antiques and so glad we did. I could spend hours in this store poking about amongst the trinkets and treasures.

If, however, I took my age too seriously, I would be a little discouraged at the sheer volume of memorabilia from my childhood that is now tagged as antique! Surely not!

I did spend much more than I’d planned – yard sales are sooo much better for bargains.  But I appreciate that this couple is running a business and that road trips to amass such a collection must be a frequent, risky, and costly occurrence.

In any case, I came away delighted with my finds!

This set is tarnished is a big way but a few hours of elbow grease and I expect to find real beauty beneath.

… and the twinkling of the tea

Blossom Antiques.

Twice-loved.

Perfect day.

And it ended with a rainbow.

Begin at the beginning, the King said gravely, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

We headed out on a little road trip today to Benton to visit the antique shop. Blossom Antiques and Collectibles is closed but one day during the week, and wouldn’t you know it? Today was the day.

Not to be discouraged we continued on to Clarenville where we visited The Barn Loft. Nothing twice-loved here, but still a lovely place to browse – which we did.

No yard sales, no roadside treasures, but I did find a deal in the bargain bin. Three dollars apiece and now filled with flowers from my garden.

A perfect day!
