Feeling a bit melancholy ...
...I am sure it has to do with the time of year...
...and perhaps having to say goodbye to sister Lynn who I won't get to play with for a few months.
Recently, I found this beautiful antique diploma
from Casenovia Seminary school.
Another aged beauty...
...an antique sampler in sepia tones...
...it resides in a bedroom at the lake house.
...and a sweet painting by a member of my Nana's family...
Sister Mary Beth just called...
It's time to snap out of my moment of melancholy
and gear up for some fun!
I must be the luckiest girl alive to have two amazing sisters!
Heading to Connecticut to see my dear friend
and junking buddy Paula and then on to Brimfield, MA.
Hoping to find a few more aged beauties!
:)
Hope you all are adjusting to new schedules
and the changing time of year.

This is more than lively! Memorable!
And, dear Laura, nothing better than 'aged beauty'! It's the real one!
Which you a lovely, sunny and cheered-up September!

I so envy you getting to go to Brimfield! How FUN that will be. I am looking forward to photos of your trip.
We are still in the depths of summer in Texas with temperatures well over the mid 100's so it's hard for me to feel melancholy with it being so hot but, I AM looking forward to much cooler temperatures next week in the high 80's. At this point, I'd take anything less than 100!!
Enjoy your trip!
Sister time is always fun! Enjoy the adventure and bring back lots of vintage treasures.
GOOD finds and I have always wanted to go to Brimifield BOO HOO I even put on facebb0ok , will somebody go with me ? No comments back so i'm still in Missouri LOL

I get the autumn blues this time of year, too, but I'm getting together with "my" girls for Junk Bonanza next weekend and that's sure to cure what ails me! Beautiful old finds you've posted today! Have fun shakin' off the blues!

I will have to share this post with a good friend of mine who grew up in Casenovia. I love the kitty painting....the Greek key frame is exquisite. Enjoy Brimfields!

The diploma is so lovely. The paper appears to have a satin-lie quality. Have a wonderful time in CT. Enjoy time spent with your good friend.
Hi sweet Laura,

What is it about things of old that tug at our heartstrings? Is it the lives of the hands that held them? The story of their journey? I am not sure what it is, but I do know that my heart skips a beat when I see them.
Have a wonderful time. Take lots of photos to share with us, please.
Oh my goodness, May is such a long time to wait until we get to visit Massachusetts again. It's so nice to have your blog to enjoy in the meantime.
Smiles,
Carol
OOOOHHHH have fun! So jealous, so jealous, so jealous.....
