Welcome first visitors of 2011!  So happy to see you’re stopping by after my long break!

If I could think of the dream way to start the year, it would be going on the road to a place I’ve never been.  We did just that when my parents took our 3 older boys on a ski trip…..and left us down to one little guy and a dog.  Sure made life seem so easy!  So my husband and I left late Friday night and headed to where we knew antiquing is always good:  PA!   We found a gold-mine of an antique mall that is housed in an old bakery (talk about charm), the Antique Marketplace of Lemoyne.

We came home with many treasures – one of my favorites was an old robin’s egg blue powder case which doubled as a music box, made in Switzerland (should show a picture of that one).   With just one little guy in tow, we were able to antique through several towns in record time and made it home by 8 p.m. the next day!

Hope your new year is off to a fantastic start as well!
