With a three day weekend upon us, we decided to venture up north to the Philadelphia area to visit family and to allow the Princess to have her required amount of spoiling. On Saturday we headed to the Carousel Village in Indian Walk, PA.  Although mostly known for their Christmas tree farm, there is a running kid-size train and animal farm to delight year round. It was here, next to the organic market, that I discovered my own little paradise. I have yet to process what I saw but I do have some pictures to prove its existence… feast your eyes on the…

The ABC, pressed and depression glass…be still my heart!

The brass and antique pewterware….*sigh*

Every piece of antique kitchenware I ever dreamed about….

A small sampling of the…STONEWARE!

And, yes, the train was a hit! And yes I will share my secret paradise with you…if you are in the area, drop by Nostalgic Nook... you won’t be sorry!

One of my most favorite things about Fall is all the excitement surrounding back to school! Whether my role is student or teacher,  I love the idea of shiny new beginnings and the anticipation of new things to learn and discover. Antique and vintage school elements are a favorite collection of mine. It gives me great joy each year to display them in celebration of all things educational. I hope they bring back happy memories!

Our sweet Princess is off to school next week so we planned one more summer adventure to the Baltimore aquarium…she was mesmerized!

Summer’s End

By Nancy Hughes
No flowers to plant,

No garden to tend,

As summertime lazily

Comes to an end.

It’s time to sit back

and deliciously savor

The beauty of the season

and the fruits of our labor.

Farewell to summer;

for autumn make way,

With this last celebration

We call Labor Day!

  

Poor Princess has been recuperating from minor surgery this week! She is on the mend and enjoying the cinematic classic “Barbie in Fairytopia”…for the 100th time.
