Queen For A Day

Hope all are having a wonderful day so far.   Did anyone else get an early start to the day and fire up the TV early this morning?  

The matriarch of this royal household was up and at it early with anticipation and excitement for the Royal Wedding.  My King slept soundly and so did Prince Logan.  I woke Princess Emily and tried to get her to to watch the big event but sleep was much more important to her.  Oh well, you know how those sweet little princesses need their beauty sleep. 

Being the talented Queen that I am I have done a little laundry and dishes, watched the wedding, cried, got the kids off to school, cried some more and still look like a Queen in my PJ's, bed head hair and smeared mascara.  Darn...I forgot to put my Tiara on...guess I better go get it and put it on.  Oh yeah, that really makes my hair look better except for the pieces that seem to want to stick straight out from the side of my head and those that are stuck up thru the top of my Tiara.  Maybe if I wet it down with a little spittle that will help...Nah that didn't work.  Oh well what's a Queen to do?

Have you got a mental image in your head...if so it's really ok to laugh...go ahead I know you want to.   

Anyway....Hope all of you have a wonderful day.  Looks like we may have a day without rain today, time to get out and see what all I can find.

Good Day My Royal Subjects!

My Visit to The Burlington Antique Show

Don't know about you all but I had a wonderful weekend...woohoo... but it has taken me a day or two to recover.  Just now getting time to share with you my wonderful weekend treasure hunt. 

To check out the show dates and other info visit their website at

Here we are, Misty, me and Roxanna,  ready to see what treasures and bargains we can find and believe me we found alot!  PS..the guy at booth 88 was kind enough to stop and take our picture and he was sure to tell us his booth number when we told him the picture was going to be on a blog.  So...maybe he will have the same booth number next month...if so check out his beauties, I'm sure you can find something.

Despite being a cold day and a very muddy mess we had a great day.  Here's a little sample of the treasures we saw.

See the tall wire basket here?  Still kicking myself over not purchasing it...it would have been great to use in the laundry room.

Look at all the sweet lil treasures here.

Hmmm...I think maybe something caught her eye at this booth.

See anything here you might be interested in?

If only my little boy was still little...but at 17 I guess he wouldn't want these in his room now. 

Let me just say I was on overload by this time and wanted one of almost everything I saw.  Just didn't have room to get it home, maybe next time.

I meant to get a picture before we unloaded Misty's treasures but I forgot.  Just to paint a little picture...I'm pretty sure the two old men watching us load it all up were makingg wagers that we couldn't do it but guess what we did!  Never doubt determined women, right!?

And since we didn't take time to eat at the market we went to the Central House Diner to rest and grab a bite.  The food and atmosphere was great, nice and relaxing.  So if you have a chance to visit sometime be sure to stop by and grab a bite to eat...I think you will love it.

Visions of Beautiful Treasures Dance In My Head

The count down is on...3, 2, 1 GO!!!

Heading up north this weekend with my friend Misty to visit my cousin and to SHOP...yea us!!

So excited to head out to a flea market/antique sale and see what beautiful treasures await.  Almost as much anticipation here right now as there was when I was a kid waiting for Christmas morning.

Its the first one of the year...so I'm hoping to be in gaga land (no not Lady Gaga).  Surely all the vendors have been stocking up over the last few months and will have tons of beautiful and interesting things just waiting to purchased and taken home.

The only question that remains is what will I do if I find something to big to fit in the SUV...hmmm, guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Can't wait to share pictures of my excursion when I get back.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!!
