:: My Trip To The Walker Homestead ::

Hello my friends! I have finally had some time to sort through the oodles & oodles of photos that I took on my vacation out East! Today I am posting about my trip to the Walker Homestead Simple Treasures From The Past ~Antiques & Primitive Goods show!

What a wonderful event! I kept pinching myself in disbelief that I was actually there. It was surreal to say the least! Seeing with my own eyes what I had only seen in photos! The atmosphere, the people, the antiques & primitives were all truly amazing!

I am letting you know ahead of time, there are going to be A LOT of pictures in this post. So grab your cup or coffee, hot tea etc. sit back & I hope you enjoy! Good, good times!

The vendors brought some of the most beautiful items I had ever seen! Most of which couldn’t fly home on the plane with me. Boo Hoo! But boy, did I have fun looking!  Come take a walk with me…….

 

Bonnie snapped this picture of me. All smiles…all day! :)

Primitives By Maria! Yay!

LOVE this sign!

The menu for the day. Delicious!

Are you still with me???……. I told you there was so much to see & these aren’t even all of my photos! Walker Homestead is a magical place! What a day…but wait! There’s more!

What made this day even more special was meeting Bonnie in person! We have known each other online for a few years. We both co-owned a magazine together, we have now both left the magazine & taken different paths. Only wonderful & exciting opportunities lie ahead for each of us!  What a joy to finally meet her in person!  Unexpectedly dressed like “twins” no less! :)

Paisley was the pattern of the day!

This photo pretty much sums up how I felt about meeting Bonnie!  ♥

If you haven’t visited Bonnie’s blog ‘Home In New England’ yet, it is a must see. Some of the most beautiful photography. It was her photography that made me fall in love with the East coast sight unseen!

:: Paul Revere Punched Tin Simmerblend Warmers at Village Candle ::

Good Monday morning everyone! It’s October 3rd already, I have a feeling that this month is going to fly by! But for now, I am going to enjoy every minute of the leaves changing & all of the other beautiful sights, sounds & smells of Fall while I can. We are supposed to have gorgeous weather this week!

As most of you know I burn candles all year long, but Fall is when I really love to have those warm, cozy, comforting scents aglow in our home. Whether it is a lit candle or a Tart /Simmerblend melting in a warmer. It is all about making a house a home. Making it welcoming & cozy.

I wanted to let you know that Village Candle sells Paul Revere Simmerblend warmers/punch tin lights. I have a few of these in our home. The light & the glow that they give off is wonderful. Especially with the punched tin design, the light just dances on the wall in a beautiful pattern.

Here are just a few of the ones that they sell on their website ::

Have fun shopping! I hope you will give these warmers a try! I know I love mine!

I’d better get busy for the day! More Fall salt dough on my “to do” list!! Have marvelous Monday everyone!

Until next time, take care.

What better place to enjoy the sights, sounds & smells of Fall than the Farmers Market! We spent the morning there yesterday. The music, the produce, the flowers, the food etc. I snapped some photos & thought I would share!  Get ready to come along for the day. LOTS of photos!
