Antique silver and black fans....all family pieces...
Linen with silver edging...
To see more participants in Silver Sunday visit Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal.
Well, all my cozy, crafty Saturday plans went out the window!
The window which showed that despite all the dire weather forecasts....and the blizzard like conditions just thirty miles south....we didn't get a single flake of snow!
So, Mr. Flea (hehe) decided we should get out and run some errands...
...first stop was Barnes and Nobles...I wanted to pick up another copy of Somerset Life...winter edition, the one with my little article... to give to a dear friend. There were 2 copies on the shelf....I bought them both.
Mr. Flea then drove us over to the big mall as I needed to pick out a belated birthday gift for my sweet nephew Joe...
... at that B & N there were 5 issues of Somerset Life.
Mr. Flea insisted that I buy them all. He said, "once they're gone....you'll never be able to find another and you may never be published again!"
Hey....that's not encouraging!
Actually, he is fairly supportive of my blogging and I think...maybe even a tiny bit proud.
So if you are looking for a copy of Somerset Life in my area...and you can't find one at Barnes and Nobles...now you know why!
Anyway, after the errands....we went to my sister's home and then out to dinner with my brother, Biff the plumber, his darling and oh so creative wife Donna, sweet sister Mary Beth and her handsome husband Bobbay....
...we had a ton of fun...lots of laughs.
I am very blessed to have such a loving family!
Hope your Sunday is fun....we have a very cold but sunny day!
:)
those are really great Laura....
ReplyDeleteso nice to visit you!
that could actually pass as a B&W Sunday :)
hope you are well - and forgive me for not stopping in sooner.......
I love those fans! I had quite a collection in my teens, but only kept the most special. I should get them out again...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you weren't affected by the snow.
The subjects are a single dream - as a wonderful work -
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when you can spend in the circle of his loving family, nice hours -
best wishes - Ruth

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fan! And congrats on your Somerset Life article. Despite what Mr. Flea says I'm certain there will be many more to come. Don't you just love how husbands keep us so grounded?

Beautiful fans. And congratulations on being published in Somerset Life. I've never seen this magazine, but I'm gonna look it up and try to get a copy. That is, if there are any left!

Hi, Laura,
ReplyDeleteyour blog is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Those are beautiful fans. I haven't seen any like them before. Your husband was right, (well not about not being published again), but about buying the magazines while you can. Smart guy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Marcia
Dear Laura,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fans. They are very ornate, although quite demure. I think that women had different fans for different occasions. ...and the more intricate the more wealthy they were....well, I guess that would make sense.
Are they black or did you take the photos in black and white? If they are black, maybe they are fans that were used when someone was in mourning ?
Sounds like you had a lovely weekend.
Enjoy the coming week. XXXX
They are really great and beautiful, dear Laura!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
Those fans are so beautiful Laura! And yes, you never know when SL will be sold out so better stock up now ;) I regret not getting more copies of previous ones I was in since one did sell out :( Sigh...
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous!! Love the glitters.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Saskia

Sorry it took awhile to stop by, but I wouldn't miss a SS post, I love your stuff. The fan is gorgeous! In all these weeks for silver goodness I have not seen a fan displayed. I will now have to see if my local Borders is carrying the magazine. I promise to check out your article. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your lovely blog and look forward to looking further back at older posts. Very nicely done. And these fans! Gorgeous!!!
