Spring and Blogging Blues

So...I don't know why I haven't felt much like blogging lately.

Maybe it's because there are so many other things

 I should be doing...

Maybe it's because folks don't seem as interested...

...I know I don't seem to get around to visiting other blogs as much.

What I have been enjoying is Instagram

 as it just takes a minute to snap a pic and upload it.

They are not polished photos...just a bit gritty...

life as I live it...and see it...directly from my Iphone.

kind of fun...

Maybe I'm lazy...after all blogging takes much more time.

How about you? Are you blogging as much?

 Are you following as many blogs?

Maybe it's spring fever!

In any case...wanted to say hello to you all and wish you a very

Happy Easter and Happy Passover.

:) Laura

Happy!

Wishing all my friends and readers a very Happy Spring!

Happy Easter!

Happy Passover!

Sunday Flea Finds

Just a few of the fun finds we found at the flea this weekend...







This old burlap feed sack caught my eye with the name Bouckville, NY ...
... The Madison Bouckville antique show, one of my favorites... is in a few weeks...



But once I saw the 52 stamped on the bottom...
...well, you know...



Love, love, love red books!
Detective stories on the left...
Shakespeare in really soft leather covers on the right!



Three little hats.....$1.50 for all....



A fabulous strawberry ice cream mold...



skeleton keys, tin hearts, drapery tacks...
... and the coolest of the cool...
...the remnants of an old French thermometer!



A sweet Madonna framed souvenir from Florence, Italy



The tiniest little folding Corona typewriter!
Here is some information about it....
...although the patent dates on the back of mine say 1904 and 1910.







Love it!



A book of French postcards, some old lace...
...and a copper sprinkler head



These were my favorite finds though...
An elderly gentleman was selling off his collection of old chocolate molds....

Mimi....The Brocantess and I had a great time sorting through these...
...and there were hundreds of them!
I love the champagne bottles...tiny rabbit...decorated eggs...



And....of course the shoe was my favorite!

Deanna of that wonderful shop Gather was able to find some elephants...the icons of Ivoryton!

There was lots more....
...which I will save for another day.

My Mom was kept another night at the hospital so we are hoping tomorrow is the day she comes home! She is looking pretty good!

...and finally...

There are a bunch of law students up in Buffalo, NY about to take the 2 day BAR exam ...
I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone in particular so I will just say that if anyone is so inclined to pray for stamina, endurance and focus for these students on Tuesday and Wednesday....
...I am sure they would all appreciate it!

...and finally, finally...
