Roses, Vintage Finds and Friendship
Reporting from a house which is slowly getting organised.
I admit, things might go a wee bit faster if I did not take time to smell the roses.
But..that's no fun!
I thought I would be inventive.
I have been taking pics of our belongings for our shipping records.
Well...kind of.
ok..maybe by this point I got a tad carried away...
but they behaved so well....
just a few more...
Mr. H left on Saturday...as he climbed into the car on the
way to the airport he said something about me not
getting distracted and keeping my eye on the packing.
At least I think that is what he said...
Before I get back to work...
I am sending my deepest and sincerest thanks
to one lovely lady who is the reason I have
all of the items shown above. We spent a day together and
I took her to a few of my favourite spots, Loseley Park
and Bridge Road Antiques. Her excitement was contagious,
we think alike and the result was a few treasures.
I will miss our excursions..they have been so memorable.
She helped me find my writing voice and introduced me
to a wonderful side of Paris I had not seen before...
Thank You Vicki.. :)

And, you belongings are so lovely. You are staying focused....you are only allowing us to aid you. It is all a matter of perspective. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteHa! I can identify...packing is so not fun...taking pics of beautiful things...now that is fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and remembrances of a wonderful outing with Vicki. You will look back fondly each time you put flowers in the vases. Best wishes on your packing. Just remember, you will have that amazing dressing table, a prize if you will, once you get settled in Viet Nam.
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie

What beautiful finds! I can't blame you for wanting to stop and enjoy all that loveliness.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photographs. You reminded me of my big move from the UK back to Ireland. I had to put everything in storage for about 6 months and I, like you, took photos of all my fav things just to keep me going whilst doing up my cottage. It was such a treat when all the boxes arrived and I got to unpack everything. Just keep that in mind - it will be like endless presents :O) Take care x
ReplyDeleteThe pleasure was all mine Jeanne...
ReplyDeleteYour glass ware looks so lovely and the hat boxes... what a fabulous find... Happy packing... xv
I found myself so easily distracted during our packing up to move stateside. Things already packed away for years came out and photographs, treasures from childhood. Lovely collection of glassware, not surprised you wanted to take some photographs.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! We rarely take the time to stop and smell the roses but had to when we found your post... your posies are so pretty. Vicki inspires us all!

I couldn't imagine taking photos in the midst of so much commotion. Your images exude an aura of tranquillity which I hope you are also feeling in your heart.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, but would laugh if you ever had to show them to your insurance agent - ahem, yes just some photos do document my vases ... that I styled a bit for viewing pleasure.
ReplyDeleteYour items are beautiful! I'm glad you decided to take the time to stop and smell the roses and share them with us : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of glassware - I love the different shapes and sizes - lovely photos!

Are the flowers going to Vietnam, too? (:
ReplyDeleteJeanne, you are packing and moving the way you should be! Slowly, methodically and enjoying your treasures along the way.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your finds, they are beautiful, as are your memories. How fun to have had so many great adventures and a friendship with Vicki, she seems like a lovely person from here blog.
Keep up the good work!

Jeanne, Those vignettes are beautiful! Isn't it just more fun to create instead of getting packed and organized? And you'll be glad in the future that you have the pics. Your new dressing table did not go unnoticed. Have a good weekend, and keep working!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures - thank you for sharing them :-) Maybe you can photograph them with exotic Vietnamese flowers when you arrive?
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty finds! Glad you are finding some beauty amidst all the packing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne for making my catch up visit so enjoyable! Well behaved glass often leads one astray and you shot it beautifully for everyone to enjoy. xo
