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



The Mary Rose



Sharifa Asma





Princess Anne






Soul Sister


Mme Gregoire Stachelin



Heritage is my favourite David Austin rose














a dramatic dusk






clematis

    Hello Meg, you have found real treasures. I should learn to limit myself when I go to the markets or antiques stores too. Our roses are in abundance and I am immensely enjoying them. Your collections are of pure elegance. I would like to grow some David Austin rose one day.
    Hope you have a good week.0

    That is a great lesson, I too should put a limit. Those books really did look stunning and would make a great feature on a desk. Your roses really are doing well, such a beautiful array of colours.

    Your roses are beautiful, and the fields are a sight to behold! Your new-found treasures are so special. We found some treasures as we made the rounds to discover our new neighborhood. There were many thrift stores and roads that (we found) lead to the ocean. We were definitely exploring yesterday when the air was warm and the sun was shining. Today, it is gray and dull, which makes me want to stay inside and clean something! (Did I just say that???)

    I have tried putting a limit when going to a show....doesn't work! I find too many things. When I have money to spend, I find nothing! Gorgeous roses and sweet, sweet kitty!

    Spring has it's own brand of beauty when you live in the country. It's like the earth wakes up and dresses in its lovely colors. Thanks for reminding us, as I assume a lot of us are in the middle of Fall.

    Like the books for sure, however I don't think I could limit myself to $20 at a fabulous sale.
    Love the pretty roses my roses are through for the year and my hydrangeas.
    Like seeing your kitty cat

    Wonderful photos! I love the rose. So mild and heart-melting. The clemantis too. I love how it rounds up. But most of all, the cat! I love the capture!
