sneakers on...
I PEERED THROUGH MY GARDEN GATE
Spring flowers blossoming
And I knew it was time to venture out
The weather was chilly and windy,
so I didn't travel as far as I'd have like.
I picked up some vintage jewelry,
2 ironstone pieces
a clay pot to tuck in my garden
Bits and pieces of vintage lace
Mismatched transferware
Great ephemera
Some picture frames, a funnel and a silly wire frog!
**I promise to post my real finds later this week!

not too much money spent, lots of fun, lunch with a friend, dinner at another friends, I vacuumed, did dishes, relaxed, slept in, it was very cool.then...
back to my nest!

Thoughtful Thursday Elegance and Fairyland

anything elegant
Etymology: Fr élégance < L elegantia
Elegance
by Lucille van Onselen-Zunckel

A Double Acrostic Poem in reverse

Elegantly turned out, so much style
Ladylike to the core, classic
Eau-de-cologne daintily applied, like poetry in motion
Gem was definitely of another era
Ariel another one, now, all agog
Naiad, the Faerie Queene
Casting their magic spells, ever graceful
Emerald is her name, very fashionable


I'm scooting around with the fairies today...have to run!
In search of my own elegance! Jennifer
