Friday was such a special day...a shower now and then, the best of company...my dear hubby, and a day of browsing two new to us antique stores and a special boutique of lovingly used home decor items and.....dinner out. NO DISHES! That one thing alone will make a day special for me!
Heading South out of Port Huron towards St. Claire...a nostalgic town along the St. Claire River...rainy looking clouds...my favorite!
We talked about the lovely colors and how soft they are this year. The lack of rain we believe...they make me think of a watercolor painting....
We are headed to Marine City and The Vera Grace Emporium which is my favorite of favorites to shop in this area...A gorgeous boutique in the front, all shabby and beautiful, and then a large, and I mean large, room of Antiques in the back...(my finger just automatically capitalized "Antique" lol) I did not get pictures inside as the flash ruined the look and the clouds had gathered while we were there and it was just too dark...next time I will treat you all...
Anyway, on our way through St. Claire I noticed a sign that read This 'n That and something about home decor resale items....we pulled in and parked in the back where there was an Antique Store back entrance....
This is the front entrance out in the little mall...and here are a few pictures inside....
And then out into the little mall and across to....
Up the stairs past enticing displays...to
A darling store with vintage rhinestone jewelry, lovely olden gowns, purses, hats, gloves and all sorts of wonderful treasures. All arranged like a high end boutique...
As I rounded a corner my eyes fell on these..
and I guess you can figure that they became mine. These are just exquisite, but the pictures do not do them justice. I found some darling pillow slips with vintage pink, white and green crochet with roses and they will go on my website. The evening light is so dark I could not get good pictures of them...
Our fun filled day ended with hubby getting a Blizzard from Dairy Queen...did you know they make miniature ones now???? They look about two or three inches high! I will treat myself to one another time, as needing both hands, I drove home so he could enjoy his ice cream!
Happy Pink Saturday and have a Happy Week!

PS This beautiful leaf is outside of one of my kitchen windows on one of the Spiarea (sp?) bushes...just one like a beautiful gift....I tell myself it is from my beloved Mother who passed a number of years ago...I wanted to share it with all of you, too.

Happy PS,

ohhhh I love your pinks! We have a store here called Craftiques and it has all kinds of goodies like this! I could spend all day in there...not to mention all my money! Lol!! Beautiful post!
Sounds like a great day out. The leaves are all beautiful, in the south we have very few trees that have leaves turning. Actually, most of our trees retain most of their leaves through the whole winter (all of two months). Happy Pink Saturday, see you next week.
