Thursday Shopper #11

Good Morning Dahlings!! 


Off again on my dedicated journey!
today I’ll share two lovely shops in Williamsburg Va that I visited recently!
I was there to see, for the first time, my lovely little booth
in the Lightfoot Antique Mall.
Isn’t it ……um……well…….hmmm…


Oh my………
LOTS of work needed here!
I can’t even begin until April 1st but I am thinking and planning until then.

After seeing THAT….
TS definitely needed some retail therapy!
N’est pas?

So, down the road to the KingsMill Shops to
High Cotton
Now, you know TS LOVES linens and china


Normally the phone pictures are quite nice…..or so I thought until I got the new camera.
The contrast is shocking! 
Don’t worry, I’ll be back there again and next time will take the camera!


I reduced the size a bit and that helps but still disappointing!
I wish you could see the beauty.
This shop has been profiled in several magazines.
The owner restores vintage and antique linens, collects china and silver, 
and also offers other antique finds….like a corner dedicated to fly fishing gear!



This gorgeous wall sized cabinet has drawers filled with treasures!


Next stop was the lovely shop
Savvy
It’s just a step or two away from High Cotton


As soon as we walked in, this gorgeous overall theme of green and white
 instantly made us feel as though we were in a garden.

The wall color was luscious…..like kiwi

We each took home an ivy topiary…they were on sale!

This soothing palette appealed to us

This faux bamboo tree was filled with felted birdhouses

How cute!


Today was an exciting day for one of the children too!
Our 15 yr old daughter wrote an essay last year 
which was selected to be in a book published by the school system.
The title of the book is The Power of Belief. 
It happened to be her birthday when we asked the children
 if they wanted to come live with us in Virginia. 
Her essay was about how we gave her the Best Gift Ever
Today, she was interviewed for a local radio show 
and in April she will appear on a local TV talk show! 
So, this morning we went and did the radio interview. 
She was SO nervous, but did fine!
I was so proud of her!


I rushed home to finish this post…
WHEW!
