WEEKEND FUN


Tiger's Eye Sumac and Hydrangea
 This weekend was a smorgasbord of activity!  Do you ever experience anything similiar ~ a small nibble of this & a sampling of that?

We did some antiquing where I found this enamel pitcher.  I've been looking for one for quite some time now.

I ended up paying $22 for this pitcher.  I don't know ... is that a  good price?  I have nothing to compare to because I haven't spotted one all summer during our outings.

Some "Crown" jars.

Asking price was $4/each but I snagged the set of three for $10.00.

And a weekend visit from Hub's youngest daughter who came to show us her new car!
How fun ~ 18 years old, getting her very first car and it's a totally cool Volkswagen Beetle!

I also starting working on putting my garden to bed for the winter.  


  We also enjoyed a brief visit to the Toronto Zoo.





This was by far the cutest wee monkey that we saw ~ our friend's daughter Scarlett!


Hub's daughters!


Add in a Chinese food dinner and a movie night and you've got yourself some weekend fun!





Cheers ~ Lisa

  1. That looks like fun! We can't wait to take our daughter to the zoo next year. I hear they're open 364 days a year and that a membership is definitely worth it.

  8. Sounds like you had a great weekend. I like the pitcher- not sure about the prices for pitchers, but $22 dollars does not seem unreasonable. I especially like the crown jars. I like anything with a turquoise cast!

  14. Lisa, your gardens never cease to amaze me! Even in preparation for winter, they are still gorgeous. That hydrangea has the perfect coloring....

    If you ever happen to venture to Connecticut from Canada, please let me know. I could use a green thumb for the day :)

    Sounds like you had a great weekend with family.

    What fun! I love the VW Bug! I have always wanted a white one; maybe someday. I really like the enamel pitcher. I have a cup which I use in the bathroom. I must try and remember to share it sometime. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day.
