Restful Whites...




What is it about White tones that make them so restful ? What I love is all the textures that White invokes...  The way light plays off the Lace. I especially love Old Vintage Lace that has aged so beautifully ! That warm inviting creamy color .  We have LACE...

WOW...18 years !











WOW...how has 18 years gone so QUICKLY ! On the 20th it was our 4 year Anniversary of Antiques in Old Towns Blog and Our 18th year in business. 675 posts...I still can not believe it ! This last month was a whirlwind ...With a trip to Washington State for Farm Chicks Show , then home to do the Roswell Lavender Festival and Hosting Kim Poovey's book signing. I almost forgot that it was our Anniversary. Kim's book signing went splendid , she met so many great people...and a few discovered the Shop for the first time. During Kim's signing our city was hosting our monthly garage sale...of course I had to sneak away and shop it ! The shop is now offering a sweet smallish Eastlake fainting couch for sale ! The Shop is FULL of new TREASURES.  In CELEBRATION of our 4 years of Blogging we are offering  not one but four of my Make Do Pockets...to four LUCKY Winners. To enter just leave a comment and your name will be put in the hat. Drawing will be on the 30th...Lots of Luck...We want to THANK You from the bottom of our hearts for your loyal support of the Shop and Blog. YOU are the BIGGEST BLESSING we have !

What a WONDERFUL time I had in Spokane and at FARM CHICKS. The pictures tell the story. I was SO BLESSED to be able to go !

Still recovering ...SIS  ( those 3am chats ) I need to sleep for a week , but to excited and inspired. Time to get to work and create. TRULY BLESSED !
