Ruth's Waltz.....

 Hi Friends,

As you all know I was visiting family in
Arizona for two weeks recently.
During my visit I was able to go back to
one of my favorite antique malls.
The Merchants Square in Chandler Arizona
has countless booths with everything from
bathing suits made with sea shells to vintage
toy trains and scrumptious booths with items
you wish you had brought a truck to bring them
all back home with you!!!!
One booth in particular drew me in...As I was gazing
longingly at all the wonderful items a lovely lady and I started
to talk and as it turned out she was the owner of this lovely booth.
 As we chatted with one another we found we shared some places in common where we use to live in N.J.  I asked Ruth if she would mind if I took some pictures of her booth and if she would allow me to do a post about her and her lovely booth.  Ruth was most gracious and accepted my offer. Yay!!



The soft lamp light Ruth uses in her booth makes for a delightful and soothing stroll through the lovely items that she sells.




I love the mix of different items with the soft creamy shades
 that were so pleasing to the eye.


Such a sweet hat for spring!!!





Some lovely fingertip towels mixed with the verdigris patina of the urn and sweet little bird.






 T
 So many Beautiful things....
                      A pretty display of cards...

 Ruth also has some gorgeous pieces of Jewelry...






Some of my favorite magazines..........
Ruth also has another booth here at the Merchants Square.
This antique trunk is in her second booth.
I could not get over the great condition of this wonderful trunk!!! The matching hangers were still there. The drawers were lovely too. How I wish I could have brought it home with me.

Thank you Ruth Anne for allowing me to share your
wonderful booth with my readers. I hope to see you again next year!!!!




Well my friends I hope you have enjoyed meeting Ruth. If you would like to write to her you can reach her at Ruthanne56@gmail.com ....I am sure she would be happy to hear from you!!! :)

In my next post I will show you some more pictures I took at the Merchants Mall that
I think you will enjoy!!! Till then........I wish you all a wonderful day!!!

Love and Blessings to All,

Susan

    Thank you Susan for the lovely blog and the lovely words on my booth! I totally enjoyed your visit there! We have since sold the chairs and table and painting, so the booth has changed! And the other booth has a new look as well! Hope to see you again soon... I am soon off to NJ. Have a great summer!

    I can just see you strolling through that mall and meeting this sweet lady. I too would of enjoyed shopping in her booth.
    One of these days we will have the chance to shop together.
    We must talk this coming week because I have missed you dear Susan. I am a very bad friend for not getting in touch with you.
    I am meeting myself coming and going here lately but I have a feeling this is only the beginning with my chores out here on the North Forty.
    I leave tomorrow for Austin so I wanted to come by tonight and wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy your day.
    Talk to you soon.
    Love
    Maggie

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
