Last weekend while we were up at my parents cabin, my sister-in-law, mom and I managed to sneek away from the beach for a bit, and do some shopping. We hit a few garage sales, an antique show, and a thrift store.
Every Memorial Day weekend a cute little antique show takes place at the local fairgrounds. The show is in the main barn and there's lots of cottage goodies to be found!

I took this picture from the main stage. Behind me there were more vendors. It's not a big show, probably 40 vendors or so.

Isn't the basket of petunias pretty in this birdbath? I thought so.

Here's a peek at what I found Saturday. I bought the German plate and Josef figurines at a garage sale. The Mobley lamb and the vintage rayon seam binding I found at the the thrift store. The old photos and the French beaded purse I purchased at the antique show. As much as I love Josef Originals figurines, I decided I just couldn't keep 'em, so I've listed them
here.

Oh, and I have to share my favorite things of the day.
Even though my birthday isn't until August, I got a birthday present Saturday, from my Mom! This is it, a wonderful old celluloid photo album full of photos that date from around the 1860's.

Each photo is so beautiful. I love the babies in their christening gowns...

Here is a funeral card for a woman who passed away at the young age of 20.

More photos of the family. It's fun to look through and see the children as they grew. I love that the album is complete. I can't help but wonder what their lives must have been like.
