summer fades::

Luckily, the farmer's market had zinnias this past weekend. How the summer is fading and little signs of fall are appearing. I don't want summer to leave just yet.. plans to do some hiking with my hubby in some trails nearby our home, do some closet arranging and purging, cook up some new recipes that I've been longing to try and maybe fit in the beach. I know, it happens to the best of us. We want to cram in all the wants in such a short period of time. I'll be in and out.. hoping you're having a great summer! xo Liz

neutral finds::

      Pairing up some neutral finds from this past weekend: ironstone, a vintage egg cup and bits of lace. I couldn't resist the fresh garlic bulbs from the farmer's market too.
    Does your summer palate of finds look like this? Or does it have hints of color throughout? The highlight of this past weekend was a visit to an estate sale overlooking the Hudson river. I could move right in this one bedroom summer cottage with wooden beams and leaded glass windows. Kept in the family for over 100 years.. now, it's history and keepsakes are up for sale. I passed up on a few things like vintage wicker, chairs, pottery, books, tools and bric-a- brac.. you know the typical stuff. oh, how I wanted the original hoosier cabinet from the kitchen-NFS
    I'm hoping to go back to the estate soon to capture some snap shots of this vintage beauty for you before it goes on the market for sale. To be continued...
   By the way, have a great week! Liz

Yesterday's Zinnias::

                   I missed out on the zinnias last weekend from the farmer's market. At 5 stems for $1.00 how can one refuse but, they were all gone. Yesterday morning, the market had loads of them in every color under the sun. For now, I'll enjoy them while they last. Aren't they pretty? Here's a bunch for you! 
                                                             Have a restful Sunday ;)

This Is Where I Go Saturday Mornings::

           The selection was pretty good this morning. In fact, I was quite surprised that today was the corn festival at the market. Hubby said,"no corn this week." I guess he's had his full of corn on the cob. 
                              Where do you go Saturday mornings?
                                                       Have a great weekend,
