A few of my treasures (picture overload)....

These are some of the items that I purchased the day my mom and I went antiquing.

I think I inadvertently adjusted something on my camera, which resulted in grainy pictures - sorry about that.  Isn't that chalk dog great!  I was so excited when I saw him.  And the tartan plaid book - it looks great with a set of scottie dog bookends that I had (not the ones you all saw in this post, but a different set - I tried to take a picture of them, but the plaid sort of freaked out the camera and it didn't know where to focus - resulting in bluriness).  I'll see if I can get a different shot of the bookends so you can see.

I loved this pink star with the tinsel in the middle.  It's in Evy's room now.  Sorry for the grainy picture below.  I found that holder and then added pictures of my great grandma Emelie, postcards from relatives in the early 1900's (the one with Lady Liberty and flags is to my great grandma Emelie in 1907 and is written in Norewegian).  I also have some very old tickets to a play that were my relatives from the early 1900's (they are in the envelope on the right).  There are a couple of receipts there too.  All of these things were at my grandparents farm - oh the treasures they had there!

The below are a couple of other dogs I found .

Here are some prints that I found - they are propped up against my couch.  Again, what is the deal with my camera!

I'm includint the picture of the scottie dog book ends and the tartan plaid book - it is very blurry - sorry.  But they are so cute!

  This is in my living room.

And these are just a couple of pictures from the Buffalo Nickel where we were antiquing.

I love this diplay and all of the great colors.

Bikes with baskets - just love them.

Sorry for all of the pictures, but wanted to try and make up a bit for being so absent lately.  My mom and I are having a great time, and are going to have tea today at Lady Elegant's Tea Shop (with Evy too).  I'll bring my camera to share the experience.

Picture overload? Never!!! I love every last thing that you found & am envious, especially of those cottage prints.

You and Mom must be having so much fun - wish I could have joined you at the tea room for a cup of Earl Grey perhaps!
So many great finds Allie - and I just love the Scottie dog bookends.

You and you mom seem to have had a good time antiquing, the Scottie bookends are lovely, I have a special fondness for Scotties as I've had a couple of the real things in my time. Love the stuff from your grandmother's barn, the personal connection makes them so special.

Allie, I love all the things you got. Esp. the doggies..those are too cute! I'm sure it will all be right at home in your house. Glad you're having fun with your mom. Those are special times.

Delightful! I linked to your blog from my friend Lyndas, and I am so glad I did! Your primitive displays were very inspiring this morning. I love the old fashioned colors, and the jar of buttons was perfect! What a fun day for you and your mom!

Kindredly~

I just read your "about me" and had to comment again!

Would you believe I first fell in love with my china pattern "Old Country Roses" because it was JESSICA FLETCHER'S pattern? I still watch MSW whenever I have time, and also adore Poirot.

Did you get to watch any of the Nero Wolfe series? I am certain you would love it! Timothy Hutton was very dreamy, and the sets were gorgeous.
