I too have thought if I stopped buying my darling magazines I would have more money but then I wouldn't be a very happy person so as far as I see it it is money well spent. Luckily me husband agrees!! What wonderful treasures you unearthed as well, it must be very happy time at your household! Thanks for sharing even though i am more than a tiny bit jealous of the way you have planned your evening!! Enjoy!

In fact, I have a rack of old hats in the hallway. My Aunt Emma always wore a hat and it always had a little veil. It was a flat hat that curved around her head - sometimes leaves that curved around. Anyway, I enjoyed the pictures. God bless.

Your collections just amaze me (I do love having your calendar in our kitchen ~ I catch little glimpses of your treasures when I walk past it each day, and I imagine what it must be like to live on your gorgeous home)! Hubby and I were just talking the other day about the things we'd do in London on Sundays, when things seemed to be quieter there. I remember there was a little outdoor flea market of sorts near an old church in Piccadilly... I was not into vintage at the time - FOR SHAME (well, it was nearly 15 years ago)! lol To think of all the treasures I walked past! =OCape Cod Rambling Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101217926712078715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-81408492213012454172009-01-26T21:03:00.000+00:002009-01-26T21:03:00.000+00:00what a beautiful post Niki...i see you sold all of...what a beautiful post Niki...i see you sold all of your adorable dollies:) they really are sweet...i love old hats too...i just have trouble finding them loaded up with flowers for a good price here...yours are so lovely!!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751323878023052952noreply@blogger.com
