A Tiny Peek~

After announcing earlier in the week that I would be setting up in Warrenton next month I had several requests to "show my stuff "! O.K. get those minds out of the gutter. I guess I should have said "show the merchandise I will be selling".

I have been busy going to garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores and even trash piles...it's amazing what people throw away! I'm trying to find the best deals so I can bring them to you.

So, here goes just a teensy, tiny peek as to what my booth ~La Rustique Market~ will feature.

Oh! if anyone likes what they see in these next few photos, please contact me.

All items are For Sale!

This is my favorite find of all...a yellow rose painting~

Pair of glass boudoir lamps~

The complete vignette~

A lady might have packed these things for a trip on the Orient Express.

Friday Evening~

Have you ever had a day when you're ready to do a post on your blog then suddenly your mind just stops! You go over it a million times in your head what your going to say and just when you sit down to start typing...POOF it's gone forever!!! I've had this happen to me more than once let me tell you and I think today is going to be one of those days. Well, being that it's Friday I guess my mind is just ready to chill and start my weekend of rest and relaxation. HA!HA!

My daughter left for Houston this afternoon with her best friend and family to attend a Christian concert, so my husband and I have the house to ourselves this evening..WooHoo!!!

Oh! my hubby just called and asked what was on the agenda for this evening and I told him not a thing. He asked if my daughter was gone already and I said yes she is. So he asked if I wanted to go out to eat..of course I said Yes!!! We're going to one of the best seafood restaurants called Barkett's in Seadrift, TX...it's about 15 miles out from where we live. This place gets very busy on a Friday night so we'll leave as soon as he gets home from work which will be in a few minutes. I better get ready!

Enjoy this evening with your loved ones~

Hugs and Kisses~

A Cloudy Day~

This was supposed to be a post for this morning~

This morning the skies were clouding up and I thought how nice it would be to get some rain to help the Spring planting. Then it dawned on me that I spent yesterday evening decorating my back patio with hopes to have some friends over for lunch this week and I hadn't taken a single picture.

Now I'm not a photographer so please pardon the photos I'm about to share with you.

Thanks to Theresa from Garden Antqs Vintage for assisting me with my computer problem today.

I do hope you enjoy the show!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday~

Some Exciting News~

A while back I introduced you to a new venture of mine through a new blog. My plan was to transition from Antiques and More Blog to the new blog, but that is taking longer than anticipated. For now, I will manage both blogs until it gets to be too much for me to handle.

So, it looks like my dream of starting a business is finally taking some shape and will be under the name of ~La Rustique Market~. I am very excited to say I will have a booth in Warrenton/RoundTop for the 2009 Texas Antique Show. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing...just that I have wanted this for a long time, and now I'm going to do it!

Look for the dates to pop up on my sidebar along with a banner letting you know when I'll be there. I may even give you a peek as to what I'll be selling!

I look forward to meeting you if you plan to shop or sell there this Spring!

Hugs to all~

Candlelit Evening~

One of my most favorite things to do once the sun goes down, is to light all the candles in the house and sit in candlelight. I love to see the flames dancing about like beautiful little ballerinas. The scent of the candles also makes the house smell wonderful and I feel like I'm taken away by all the senses to another world.

On this beautiful Sunday evening I want to leave you with a photo of my mantle vignette in candlelight.

So light some candles in your home and be swept away, if only for a while, to another place.

Enjoy My Sweet Friends~

HRH~100th Post Celebration Party~

In honor of Helen Louise and the 100th post, her daughter, Debra Lynn (Her Royal Highness) is having a Celebration Party-Blog Style. How appropriate to honor someone as special as your Mother on this pre-Valentine's Day. I am so very honored to be a part of this wonderful celebration and to be witness to one of the most elaborate events about to make history in blogland.

Now, being that this is my first Blog Style Party, I wasn't sure how to approach this so I'm just gonna dig right into it. Allright! Here's me and my date ready to paint this party RED! Meet Mr. Black Mannequinn. I know what you're thinking...where's his head? Well, I like my men all body and no brains! And yes, that's me in my Valentine party frock! It's a size 4 BTW and it doesn't zip up all the way. I haven't been a size 4 since high school! I figure no one's gonna notice with all the other action going on. After all, this is Debra Lynn's day and I wouldn't dare take the spotlight away from her.

My date has LOVE written all over!

Hmmm...I wonder if Debra Lynn will let me have a dance with Harry?

I just want ya'll to know that this is the reason I continue to blog. I treasure each and every acquaintance made through blogging and I pray that these friendships last a lifetime. Nothing can compare to the love and support I get from blogging with my newfound FRIENDS! Oh! and I get to PARTY at the same time, even though the dishes are piled high in the sink and my husband and child don't have any clean clothes to wear. I will get that under control as soon as I get to have some FUN first!

What else can I say except that when Miss Talking Trash puts on a party it's like no other!

She's not only Queen for a day, she's a Queen everyday!

You Go Girl!!!

Well, are ya'll ready to PARTY???

Cause I am!

Now point me in the direction of the champagne table!

Now for a toast:

"CHEERS to Helen Louise, her daughter Debra Lynn

and to all the bloggers out there attending and not, may you all continue to be blessed for all the great things you do for one another".

Have a Happy Day!

Breaking News~

We interrupt this program so we can bring you breaking news that's just come in...The latest news going around blogland. While surfing blogger last night there was some interesting information about a so- called blogger who goes by the name of Debbie Talking Trash aka Miss Lazy. Her photo was on the front pages of Garden Antqs Vintage and Veranda's blogspot.

Debbie is throwing the "party of the century" as one blogster put it. The news of her party has hit the airwaves. There's talk of this party in every household tonight as we speak. Not since the episode of "Who Shot JR" on Dallas has there been this much talk of a celebrity in Texas!



I don't know about you but I'm dying to see who she brings as her date, because by the looks of this photo Cat Daddy isn't very happy who she's saying "Hi"! to.

I declare! What's this world coming to?

Stay tuned to this blog for more news as it becomes available.
