The Wonderful Tune



Sometimes things just come together on their own and without even a thought and when I do notice, it is like it was meant to be. 

I went to a yard sale and I picked up what I thought was random old finds, an old fruit wooden crate, a couple of old hardback books and my favorite ballerina music box.

How true, the music box does play the wonderful tune... how enchanting!!




My mum had a similar music box in the master bedroom when I was growing up, so I used to sneak a lot to play the music and watch the tiny ballerina twirl. I was fascinated by the ballerina. My daughter has one now but when I saw this one at a yard-sale with light blue interior for 25c... I had to have it. I may have other plans for it. We'll see.

At the Antique's Store; Vintage Rose Antiques


On route 52, as soon as you hit Virginia, there is my favorite antique shop... Vintage Rose Antiques. It sits right under the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was nice and sunny yesterday and I had an hour to kill so I headed there. The very gracious  Kathy Harris who runs the shop and I like to catch up on things every time I go there.

Yesterday I decided that since I got my new camera, that would be a great place to take some pictures and capture the vintage patina.
















































My Favorite is the fiesta ware photo.











So....

How'd I do???
