Weekend Break


No, not taking off anywhere, just taking off a couple of days to catch up with things around the house and garden while the weather is warm and sunny!

So I'm hanging up my blog on this pretty hanger seen at SuzAnna's ~ will be back soon with guest room makeover pics.


Meanwhile, some more lovely items from SuzAnna's Antiques. If you happen to be fortunate enough to live near, or drive close to Raleigh, North Carolina, this is a MUST stop. Susie and Anna, owners, their wonderful 'decorating diva in residence' Linda (more about Linda in an upcoming post - she was here at my house yesterday!), and the other great dealers, consignors, and assistants at the shop, are all fabulous. Then there are the kindred spirits one meets while treasure hunting there................artists, decorators, gardeners, realtors, vintage dressed gals, flight attendants, pretty children with their moms, grandmas, even cute guys!







Next to SuzAnna's is a great new spot, Sam's Country Porch. Sam's a real Southern gentleman and a bit shy, I only got a back view! He has great antique and vintage items too - I found some great old books there last week.

.........'til next time.............enjoy your weekend.

  1. What a charming site!
    Now if we were in your neighbourhood there would not be time for blogging
    I am sure that DW would be dragging me around to all those lovely places, to single out a treasure or maybe just reminisce
    Don't tell her but I would go willingly
    There's nothing like a good traipse
    I just love the images at the head of your blog too

  3. What a darling hanger! We must meet at SuzAnna's - perhaps this coming week? I'll call you! I'm still in Roanoke and we are FREEZING! The frigid wind is just whipping all around us. That didn't stop Leah and I from doing some shopping here though - I love shopping in Roanoke!
    See you soon!
    Hugs,

  4. This looks like a wonderful place to shop, Mary! I'd probably be there everyday!

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments about my time off ... I've noticed a difference in just a week and I'm still managing to keep up with everyone ~ just not everyday! :)

    Have a great weekend!!

  5. I've often thought I could live in north Carolina. Never been -- just from photos and what I've read. Now I KNOW I would love it.
