A Good Day

Catherine and I went to the flea market today.  I haven't been to the Kane County Flea Market in probably 3 or more years.  Prior to that I wouldn't miss a month.  Sometimes it was the highlight of the month.  I could point out several treasures found at the flea market that I still enjoy and I managed to pick up a few more treasures today as well.  Now why do I need more treasures....I am definitely blaming it on the photography.  Props....an old scale, a 1920 something fan, a sweet, sweet chandelier for my "new bathroom", an old typewriter...see I told you they were props for photography.  I will reveal all in time.  They also had old suitcases, but I restrained myself.  Maybe next month.  Oh stop me, I am supposed to be scaling back...!!!  The hot, hot decorating theme seems to be burlap and making chalkboards out of just about anything.

After spending the morning at the flea market, I spent a little time in the garden with plans to spend the day outside tomorrow.  Napped a little, just a little and became really excited when I saw that the first hydrangea had opened.  Grabbed my camera and strolled thru the garden snapping a few pics.  I could definitely spend tomorrow outside, just doing yard work and sprucing up the garden.  A perfect day to look forward to.  

Here she is, isn't she pretty!!

The roses are beginning to fade...

I love these begonias, they just bloom their little hearts out...

I almost killed this hanging verbena during our 90 degree days, I forgot to water it.  YIKES!!
