It sounds like you had a wonderful time shopping and getting out and about, Tete. It is so nice to see you able to do that and enjoy it. I love all your finds...especially the plates. I love plates...I think it is a sickness.

I hope you get a nice nap in today- it is snowing here so I wish I COULD nap! xo Diana

I love going to Vverberg's so did my mom. They are so nice and have a few prett things at good prices.
Glad you are out and about!

I am loving your vintage framed mirror, Tete! One of these days I need to pick one up to redo. And the pillow sham is gorgeous! I'm busy weeding stuff out, taking bags of things to the GW so we don't have so much to move when we go back to MI later this spring. Then, I can go on shopping sprees, yippppeeee!
