My mum ended up not coming last week as she came down with a very bad cold-flu. We apparently did not want to be left out and came down with little colds of our own.
So what does one do when you are missing your mum and out with a cold and the house is an Epic mess? You go out antiquing, of course.

Now, I can take no responsibility for the notion - it was entirely my sweetheart's idea. But I do believe it was a very good idea indeed. Here's the collection of treasures I brought home. Also featured in these pictures, our exceedingly chippy front porch.
So glad for this extra-tall turquoise jar - it will be just the thing for big bouquets.
I adore this little box. It was just three dollars and I can think of at least four places I want to use it.
Nice little stack of jadeite saucers. Yes, they are saucers, but I think they will make perfect cookie plates. And just look at those shades of green.
Final find are these two cola crates. I've been wanting some of these for a good bit, esp to use for setting up outdoor parties, but kept finding them at least $25-$30 on Craigslist and antique stores. So glad I held out as these were just $10 a piece. hoo-ray.
So that's the nonsense we've been up to. How about you?
resolved to be very industrious from now on,
and with love,
cailan
time for an outing
