A Spring Country Fair



We  went to an annual antiques fair in a neighbouring country town yesterday. I limited myself to $20 this year and I bought home 2 things
A 4 volume set of books from 1926 with gorgeous covers



This jewellery casket is old as it is heavy beveled glass...love it!








Almost all the roses are slowly beginning to opening including 15 which are new to us and I can start picking some for the house

White on White



My latest charity shop find is a beautiful white linen tray cloth for my huggggggeee collection. I only collect white on white and they are not easy to find any more. In my last home in the city I had a large bedroom and could keep the cupboard doors open to show of my treasures ....sadly now it is in an unused room in a corner!
