Random Acts of Flowers and Jam

What could have been a rather ordinary day turned into an EXTRAORDINARY day! All because of two sweet friends. First, Phyllis brought in her delicious Blue Straw jam, that will accompany my homemade scones tomorrow morning. Thanks Phyllis! :) Yum!

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, in walks Karen with her granddaughter Emily with a beautiful bouquet of fresh hydrangeas!

What a extraordinarily beautiful day! Random acts of kindness, flowers and jam.

Hunting for Treasures

On a beautiful Sunday morning, Sweet Husband suggested a ride in the country and a Chocolate Croissant for "Second Breakfast". We eat like Hobbits at times. We stopped by our favorite French restaurant and then we were on our way to Silverton, Oregon with a side stop in Scotts Mills OR. to visit a new shop and meet our new friend "Pokey". Pokey and her sisters run Scotts Mills Treasures where I found my new favorite vase for roses. Pictures below.

Afterwards, we lunched in Silverton by a serene little river, then set off for new finds. Besides the fun shopping and nice people we met along the way, the fields were full of flowers and sweet fruits in roadside stands. All in all, a very wonderful summer day in Paradise.

More Summer Fun!

Last week-end was "Expo" in Portland which means lots of treasure hunting and sore feet. Sweet Husband took me for a marathon antique shopping adventure....with only one little catch. I had to go look at boats afterward. Antiquing was lots more fun. Anyway, here are a few pictures of some of my newest treasures at Tutalu. And...I just got a shipment of new jewelry too. Lots of neat stuff.

Hello Summer!

A new season, a new look. After eight hours of creative madness, my store has taken on a whole new persona. A great week-end of treasure hunting is on display throughout the store. If you're in the neighborhood, stop and say hello and have a chocolate.... before I eat them all!

 

Farm Chicks Trip

Just to let you know that the Farm Chicks Antique Sale in Spokane Washington was a dream come true. I had clipped out articles about this event for the last 5 years and finally got to go in person. Sweet Husband drove me there with only a half dozen pit stops along the way. On the day of the sale and after standing in line with some really fun people for one hour we made our way in. We waded through rows of outstanding shabby chic and European flavored decor. It was delicious! Except....Sweet Husband did not quite get it. He patiently carried my treasures and even smiled once in a while. I even caught him nodding his head in sympathy to the other husbands carrying their wives bags. So now I am back with very good memories and some excellent finds. I am inspired! I have a busy Summer planned and have company from Arizona. Lots of changes coming, I will write more soon and keep you posted.

Upcoming Trip to Farm Chicks in Spokane

I am excited about my trip to Spokane for The Farm Chicks Antiques Show this weekend.   Sweet Treasures will be brought back to show everyone.  Stay tuned for my next post.
