Another Fabulous Invitation

I am so excited I just received the
Invitation to Rogers Garden Christmas event
Always one of my Favorites
This is a picture of a Christmas tree decorated with
Wendy Addison's glitter stars at
Rogers Garden
Last year.
Wendy was a guest at the sale
and what a thrill it was to meet her.

This is the original Carnation Gazebo from Disneyland.
It is on the property and is always decorated with twinkle lights and gorgeous flowers


*Rogers Garden*

It is the most Beautiful Home and Garden store and so much more...
over 7 acres filled to overflowing with beautiful
plants, flowers, roses, antique pine furniture





Rogers Garden is in Newport Beach

I am so excited to go and this year I will

take lots of pictures to share with you too.


I love that this sale starts the
first week in October. LOL
But it does get me motivated to go
home and start thinking about
getting the Chrsitmas stuff down from the rafters.
I can't wait to go and get inspired and show you all the beauty too.

White Enamelware Buckets

These Two White Enamelware buckets are a favorite find.
I use them almost daily for laundry, storage, and even as a vase for flowers.
I love their wooden handles and adorable decals.
They usually sit next to the fireplace in the dining room
where they are easy to grab when we are on our way to the Beach.
They are great shell collecting buckets too.
These buckets were made to last forever
they are
*Fabulous*


Did you notice anything different above?

I finally figured out how to place my name on my pictures.

It only took me ALL DAY lol

But I did it.

My name could be be a little bigger

what do you think ?

I am thrilled with my first attempt.

This is a testament to never giving up, I am happy, grateful and tired.

I think I will try again tomorrow to see if I can make it just a little tiny bit bigger.

Would you leave it as it is? Let me know

Magnolia Creek & Co Atelier

Meet Talented Robyn and her beau Ander's
They are so adorable ( check out Robyn's wellies).
Robyn has a new store in Valley Center.
I can't wait to see it.
I met Robyn when she
and her Mom opened
their store on Cedros in
Solana Beach. It was an old house and I still remember
the floor it was covered with old
Country Living and Country Home magazine covers.
Such a great idea.
Robyn buys a great deal of her
treasures from Ireland.
I love the way she vignettes everything
in her store.
She has a great eye. Her store was even featured in
Victoria Magazine.
She is also marvelous with flowers.
Did I mention she is Talented?



Beautiful Invite here is the address

31339 Valley Center Road

Valley Center, Calif 92082

Grand Opening October 1-3

10 -5

I can't wait !

*Living with Vintage Treasures*


The little Punch Bowl on the left is a new addition.

When I found it I knew it would look great

next to the large punch bowl on the buffet table in our dining room.
These vintage punch bowls are great containers

for shells & rocks from the beach, feathers, white star fish you get the idea.



These sterling silver napkin rings are too pretty


to hide away in a drawer. They add a little sparkle to the room


The little silver dome looks right at home too.





I don't like to buy beautiful treasures and then

hide them away in a drawer or cabinet where

I can't see them or use them.

In our home we use everything.



Out of sight out of mind

Not for me.

Nothing in our home is too precious

not to be used and enjoyed.

What do you have hidden away in your cabinets
that would look beautiful on your buffet or table?
Try putting the things you love
out for everyone to enjoy.

Ballet Slippers and a French Wire Basket



We were in beautiful Santa Barbara last weekend.
It was gorgeous weather and very fun shopping too.
I love the garage sales there. I always find pretty treasures.
I found these ballet slippers for $1
I also found a white slip and this french wire basket
love the wooden handle



I was so excited to get home and put the ballet slippers
up in my daughters room
I've been looking for ballet slippers for quite a long time.
I spotted them as we drove by the sale
and I jumped out of the car and the sweet girls who
were having the sale were so thrilled that I wanted them, it was fun.
When we got home
Everything ended up in a pile on the floor.
It looked so pretty I grabbed the camera to show you.
* A little tip*
Don't be afraid to make an offer when you are
buying things at garage sales and flea markets
I was able to buy all 3 items for 8 dollars
Happy White Wednesday
Blessings..

*Fall Decorating with Treasures*

Started Decorating for Fall .......


Don't you just love these
Vintage Binoculars

I found them at a
Flea Market in
Martha's Vineyard
The Pitchers were gifts from friends.
The one on the left is French Vintage Fabulous and
the one on the right is from Nordstrom's
Love the lemon and cherry pattern.
One old one new but pretty together
Don't you think?






This small leather carrier I found at a thrift store

It fits the small pair of binoculars

Perfectly




E
ven this small star fish looks at home

Love the memories that go with these binoculars.
Getting up early stomach filled with butterflies in
anticipation of the treasures to be found.

Everyone in the car, coffee in hand
so excited. I wanted to buy everything.

Love to treasure hunt.
Such fun.

It feels like fall here.
Very chilly and foggy.
Time for a cozy fire ,
to get the blankets out of the closet
time for a pot of tea.
Banana Bread in the oven yummy.....
Happy Monday

Blessings ,

*Romantic Decorating*







Hi All,

Thank you for your wonderful comments, You are all so much FUN



Are you a *Romantic* at Heart?

I am a born Romantic. Love LOVE..... ♥

I also love Decorating with Cloches.
love the little Vignettes you can put together.

Here is the Cloche in our Bedroom.
I have a Collection of Sterling Silver
Treasures that I have been collecting since I was 16
they are under this pretty etched cloche.
I also have some of my favorite necklaces
that I love to wear on top.
They are just too pretty to have hidden away.
I love how they look and this way I get to enjoy
them even if I am not wearing them.


I have a few cloches in the garden protecting the sweet pea seeds too.


Have a wonderful day

Blessings
Pam
