Spoils from my Vacation
I’ve concluded that the best thing about vacationing in a place that you reach by car is you can pick up anything interesting you find without worrying about how to get it home. Case in point: here are some things I found while antiquing on vacation last week. I wouldn’t have gotten any of it if we didn’t have the car with us.
First, this mirror:
Where will it go? Who knows? Who cares? It was love at first sight.
A pair of adorable little candlesticks:
and a lovely Dutch oil landscape (my weakness):
I found all of these on St. Simon’s Island in one afternoon so it was probably a good thing I didn’t have any more time to shop!

Great finds! You sound like me when I buy things. “Where will it go? How will I use it? Oh, who cares?! I want it!!”
Deux très beaux supports de bougies… Bisous
Love that painting esp!

Take care,
Lori

It’s really cute. We stayed on Sea Island and it was gorgeous! Photos to come tomorrow.
I love the painting too. When we travel to Ireland to visit my husband’s family, I attempt to steer him towards jewelry and antique shops…. However, he won’t stay with me and he usually finds the exit before I can talk him into buying anything…These are the things you need to know about a man before you marry him. It’s my fault really, I was blinded by his kind and gentle nature, his rugged good looks..I failed to notice that he only had one sauce pan to cook with! When things got serious between us, he bought a frying pan…..
LOL – that sounds exactly like my husband!
Love that mirror! Is it time for a painting intervention or does the rule “never enough” apply?

I think you know the answer to that!
FtRB Frame-o-rama!!! The drive across “The Marshes of Glynn” is stunning and certainly poetic.
I love mirrors, the one you found is gorgeous.
Have a peaceful day!
