The Old and the New

 Its been a mild day today in the hills so we took off for a long drive and I found a couple of sweet finds. A Victorian book  by the same author of a book I picked up on my birthday weekend in October...the gilt is beautiful

 

 

 

Another old bottle to add to my collection

 

 

 

 

A trip to the city Friday to hunt down bargains at the  Freedom sale....new aquamarine cushions

 

 

And my favourite buy there (I saw these 6 months ago at full price) there was 1 left..YAY a glazed and crackled large  apothecary jar ( perfect for my pink roses)

I was totally spoiled this Christmas by my darling husband...what a brave man buying a handbag...a gorgeous watermelon pink tote and tucked inside a bottle of Coco Mademoiselle

 

 A Victorian picture locket with a paste amethyst stone  from about 1900 made by a company Wightman and Hough in Rhode Is, from my Mum

 

 

 

It has my initials engraved under it !!!!

 

 

 

This is an advert I found on the web

 

 

In the garden this week...netting the fruit trees from the parrots, planting vegetable seedlings and my girls are losing there baby feathers
