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

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

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
