Winter Antiquing
And a Good Morning to you All!
Well, we have not received much snow here in Indy but we are forecasted to get 14 inches from now until Friday!!! Yes, you read that correctly 14 inches in my area! So my plan today is to get into my office quickly, get some of my work done, grab my laptop, and work from home the rest of the week. I will be leaving my office early today. I don’t want to get stuck in the ice storm that will be arriving BEFORE the snow! Wish me luck!
It will be nice to work from home for a few days. Lauren will be home as well e-learning so it will be nice not having to rush out the rest of the week. One of my new books just arrived. I ordered Vintage Roses and I cannot wait to take some time this week and read it! It is so beautiful!
Okay now let me share what I found at my favorite antique store.…

I spotted these gorgeous plates as soon as I walked in. I have no idea what the name of the pattern was but I loved the blue!

The next item were these charming pink vases. It was only $12 for both! I am still regretting not buying these!
The next thing that I spotted was this elegant green dish. I have no idea what it was but I loved the color. Beautiful right?
I walked around some more and spotted these vintage wine glasses. I wish I had room for all of these things. I adored the wine glasses to the right on the second shelf. Goodness, I should have just purchased them.
Here are some more goodies in this chair. I could not pass up that blue and white trinket dish or the pillow. Just look at all the rich colors and textures.

In the end, I purchased a pink-tinted vase, a gold rope tray, a Chinosiere ginger jar, a Limoges floral platter, the textured tasseled pillow, the blue and white vintage tray, and the gold plant stand. I spent under $50 on everything. I am so excited about my finds. I can’t wait to use everything. I do use my things. If they are beautiful that just makes life so elegant to me. Now I am going to get my day finished and come home. We will see how much of this 14 inches we will get!
Enjoy your Wednesday!
Yikes 14 inches. Goodness. That’s winter for sure. I don’t miss the snow filled days of living up north. I was born and raised in Western Massachusetts. I know all about. Can that can treacherous to drive in. Good plan to work from home. You find the absolutely prettiest things on your antique journeys. The pink vases, the stunning blue dinnerware… so many pretty things and not enough room. Makes me happy???
Yes 14 inches! We have about 8 already. It’s a winter wonderland. You lived in Massachusetts. I would love to visit that pocket of the U.S. I want to visit there, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Martha’s Vineyard! I bet they have good antique stores.
Hi Mrs. Shockley,
Sounds like the snow is a catch up for the snow you guys haven’t had this winter. I sure hope the ground hog was wrong. I’ve had enough cold weather and I’m looking forward to Spring. Although. I find the snowy weather a good time to focus on indoor projects and inner reflection.
I just love your antique finds. Right now I don’t have much time to antique. I’ll miss my preschooler being at home, but antiquing is something I look forward to while she’s in kindergarten next year. The rope mirror is my favorite. Gosh everything is beautiful. No wonder you couldn’t leave it behind-smart lady! Thanks for sharing.

Yes Mya this is catch-up for us! I hope you will be able to go antiquing soon. I love going because it is a time for me to be creative, have peace, and take my time. I love the rope mirror as well. You will be seeing that in photos for the boutique.
