Well here we are once again time for another WW. I want to take some time to thank everyone who participates. There were a whopping 106 of you from last week. Now that's a lot of love for "white", don't ya think? I'm always amazed at how many comments I get about how this is their favorite day of the week. I appreciate all participants and everyone who keeps coming back week after week to gaze upon all the beauty out there. I'm hoping to have more time to be able to visit everyone myself if I can ever get caught up with the house and my yard this summer.
Today I'm going to share my favorite find this weekend at The Portland Expo Antique Show. My friend Diane and I spent the whole day shopping and visiting with friends. I found lots of rusty crusty goodies, but this beauty is something I've been looking for to put in my studio to hold all kinds of little trinkets. It has the perfect patina for me. I found it in Deborah's booth. She had so many amazing pieces all displayed so nicely.
Another great find for me was this old book all written in french. I've been looking for one for a while. This lady had some awesome french items. I wish I could have brought them all home with me. I did manage to find a few old papers,books and music sheet paper. If you've never been to this show you should go because there is truly something for everyone. Enjoy! xoxo K.

ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteLove the White Wednesdays. And you are right. I can't believe the participants. Yes..we MUST love whites. It used to be so much easier to go through ALL of the posts. Now I have to keep coming back during the week to hit a few of them each day til the next Wed. But it's FUN!
Love your little drawers. SO neat. And it looks great with the whole vignette. Awesome and inspiring. Hope you have fun til next time!!
What a wonderful find! Are you going to keep it the way it is or do you have plan for a make over?
ReplyDeleteI, too did a bit of camera shopping for this week's post. You captured some wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of myself for working through this new (for me) way to post with Mr. Linky. Used every little brain cell I have. Thanks for the mental exercise!
