What I found at the Fair


It's always exciting when the annual antiques fair comes to my small country town especially when it's  just over the fence ! My husband was away and surprised me with a gift of money before he left to buy something....yay
I chose  2 things..

a pair of antique chemist bottles




an original Victorian mirror frame with original photo



the 2 beautiful books were my own purchase






The last week of Autumn in the garden







the  sun on the garden at dawn

    My wife's grandfather was a doctor, and she inherited some chemists' bottles similar to yours. We like them. The hills look gorgeous with the sun shining on the deep green and the various colored trees. I love the misty morning picture especially. I want to pet your sleeping kittie and say hello to your girls! It's always a treat to visit. Oh, and the book covers are wonderful. Back then, they had so much character, even if they didn't echo the stories inside.

    That 4th shot of the sun through the nearly bare trees, is just pure magic.
