Restful Whites...

What is it about White tones that make them so restful ? What I love is all the textures that White invokes...  The way light plays off the Lace. I especially love Old Vintage Lace that has aged so beautifully ! That warm inviting creamy color .  We have LACE...

WOW...how has 18 years gone so QUICKLY ! On the 20th it was our 4 year Anniversary of Antiques in Old Towns Blog and Our 18th year in business. 675 posts...I still can not believe it ! This last month was a whirlwind ...With a trip to Washington State for Farm Chicks Show , then home to do the Roswell Lavender Festival and Hosting Kim Poovey's book signing. I almost forgot that it was our Anniversary. Kim's book signing went splendid , she met so many great people...and a few discovered the Shop for the first time. During Kim's signing our city was hosting our monthly garage sale...of course I had to sneak away and shop it ! The shop is now offering a sweet smallish Eastlake fainting couch for sale ! The Shop is FULL of new TREASURES.  In CELEBRATION of our 4 years of Blogging we are offering  not one but four of my Make Do Pockets...to four LUCKY Winners.

A BEAUTIFUL day...lots of Lavender Lovers. The grounds at Barrington Hall were AMAZING...all abloom.  This will be a yearly event not to miss.

FARM CHICKS...OH MY...

What a WONDERFUL time I had in Spokane and at FARM CHICKS. The pictures tell the story. I was SO BLESSED to be able to go ! My sweet daughter Cristy supplied the air line tickets using some of her sky miles. My HERO Hugh took over the Shop. I can not THANK them enough for making this happen. I LOVE YOU BOTH MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. It was a DREAM come true to see my DAD and MOM , Sister and Brother. Still recovering ...SIS  ( those 3am chats ) I need to sleep for a week , but to excited and inspired. Time to get to work and create. TRULY BLESSED ! Lots of Pictures...wanted you to feel like you were there !  Believe it or not I took lots more....
