Time Worn Treasures and Antiques



                                                                        Hello everyone,

                                    Another week has almost slipped by and before we know it summer
                                 will be over so I am enjoying cramming in some summer fun.Yesterday,
                                  was a beautiful beach day so we took a drive to Basin Head Beach
                                  which has been voted the #1 beach in Canada.I think this news has spread                                               because it was busier then usual there.
                                       Today, though I am sharing some photos of one of my favorite vintage and                                               antique shops in town-Time Worn Treasures and Antiques.
                               
                             
                                                      I love these colors-so pretty!
                                          Have a look around-there is lots to see.
                                                                 




                                                                  Love these!
                                       
                                       There is always pretty dishes in the shop.



Always pretty pinks too!

                   I love popping in to see what is new and there are always pretty vignettes
                             everywhere you look. I have made several new friends through Lori's
                            sweet shop as an added bonus - hope you get a chance to pop in soon and check it
                            for yourself!
                         


                           Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

A DIY Garden Bench



                                                               Happy Monday!

              Today  is Metamorphosis Monday and Tweak it Tuesday so I want to show you our garden                  bench project makeover from an old wooden bed.
                    I found this sturdy old bed at New London Joy shop last month-it was $40 and I was pretty
                   sure my husband would be up for a little DIY project. And sure enough the same week he cut the foot board in half and used the wooden side rails for the seat-he had to add one pine board at the back to have enough. One side rail went across the front underneath.  He built a frame inside under the seat with 2 by 4's and screwed it all together.
            Then I gave it a couple of coats of creamy white exterior paint and we were all done! I love how solid it is and it looks pretty good too! Thank you Andrew for a job well done.
                                                  The before shot.
                                  Now you can sit on it for awhile with a cup of tea and a book.
                I picked a beautiful garden bouquet for you and used my old antique pitcher.


                       I am joining BNOTP for Metamorphosis Monday.

                     Also, joining Cozy Little House for Tweak it Tuesday.
