On the hunt.

I knew if I sat long enough on the front bench with camera in hand I would catch momma Chickadee on her way to the nest.

 And here she is swinging on the hanging plant that I hung just for her. :)
Here she is flying into the nest. (top right)

I plan to put a few more flowers around so she will feel like she lives at The Ritz.

It was pouring rain yesterday so after a bit of cat-sitting I headed to the antique shop in Almonte for a look-see.  I found this sweet little piece of pottery; a tiny vase; and scooped it right up.

I also found a beautiful pitcher and a lone coffee mug that was made by a potter in Perth.
Isn't this pretty?
More apple blossoms to enjoy.

Total spent $15.00

I also sent a bag to the thrift shop in our town yesterday of dishes I have grown tired of.  I'm hoping that those items find a new home, too.
That evens it all out...NO GUILT.

TODAY...while driving along the back roads looking for lilac trees at their best I spotted another antique shop just off the side of the road.  It was called Wilson's Woodland Antiques which really caught my eye since my maiden name is Wilson.  A quick turn into the driveway, that faced the most beautiful log home with colourful gardens, brought me right to the shop door.  After being greeted by the cheery owner,  I spotted another teeny weeny pottery vase. I scooped that up along with another gorgeous jug. Now I have two beautiful miniature vases for the table. This antique shop caters to those who love vintage dishes so I will have to pass this info along to some local dish lovers. And the retired-guy found the perfect bread knife for his home-made bread.
                                                                 Total spent $20.00
                                                        My two miniature pottery vases.

What do you think, Joe?  Did I do good on my 'hunt'?

"HUNT!..you are so lame." Let me outside and I'll show you how to hunt.
"Nah...I think I'll not do that."

Hope you are having a fun weekend & the sun is shining where you are.

hugs, Deb
