We spent our Christmas visiting my husband's family in Fresno, California. We had a wonderful holiday vacation, and the kids really enjoyed spending time with Grandma, cousins and uncles and aunts. I purposely stayed away from activities that took me away from my family, but only asked for a couple of hours in Clovis, a darling little town nearby rich with antique stores and quaint restaurants.
Everything was beautiful but very pricey, but I did manage to find something I could actually afford: three old ledger books dated from 1893. I just love the handwriting!!!
With this cold and rainy weather, I have not been feeling like getting out to shop, but I did visit a local flea market and came home with a few treasures...
... sweet old trophy...
... floral hat box...
... old measuring stick...
... vintage children's linen book...
... old sconce (gotta love the chippy paint!)
... set of vintage children's cafe curtains...
... old crochet laundry bag...
... sweet baby dress...
... Old quilted teddy bear...
... vintage beaded purse...
... old baby dresses...
And finally, at a darling little local shop (which I featured here), I bought a couple of dried rosebud garlands... The owner also makes gorgeous floral head pieces that she sells for people who attend renaissance fairs.
