the shopping

life at the paris road antiques seemed so idyllic.  there was a sweet house with a canadian lanai constructed of huge timbers, with an outdoor wood stove, grape vines, bird houses, adirondack chairs and, of course, a hot tub.  michelle has an antique store in her half of the huge outbuilding, and her husband, he has a garage filled with vintage tools, signs and, of course, his motorcycle. they have devoted thirteen years to this adorable homestead. they were so nice to us, even letting charley run off leash on their property.

this ceiling fixture was purchased as a birthday gift for A. 

it will hang in the bedroom at the cottage.

i was sorry that i didn't look closer at this chair with the mexican motif.  it

would have looked terrific in the cottage bathroom next to our mexican sink.

i didn't see the design until i loaded the photos onto my laptop.

I didn't buy anything, but there were things I wanted.
These red canisters would look great in my kitchen.

I could imagine bread dough rising in these bowls.

 

Even though we're not drinking coffee right now,
 I could picture this tucked into the corner of our kitchen.

 

We couldn't have stumbled upon a more perfect place to poke around,
take photos and find some treasures.

I love these trips. The only problem is I buy things...that I have no room for. Sigh.

Great shots!
