I found a few things! I found the tiniest little china doll. She's only about 3 inches tall and she looks like the black headed porcelain dolls only she's much, much smaller. Her legs have been dipped in ink but she's still cute. I don't collect dolls but she was so cute and tiny that I couldn't resist. She'll look cute with my children's dishes.

I also got a black shelf that needs to be cleaned and painted to go in my dining room. The curtains that I'm sewing are black and I think that this will be really cute once I get things all put together.

I bought an antique picture frame that has the curved glass. Several of my aunts have taken them and put pictures and momentos in them and they look really neat. Here's a picture of one that I've already done. The one I bought has a different frame and isn't oval.

I got a few other things. Not much but it was fun getting out. I found some antique furniture but not quite in the style that I'd like to have. The furniture there was priced really good so I'm going to have to go back and look again. A lot of the fun is just being with my aunt. She keeps me laughing and we always have a lot of fun together!!!! She's more like my big Sis instead of my aunt!!!!!

What a cute little doll Diana! I've never seen anything done like that with the picture frame.....I love it! Now, next time I'm out...I'll have to see if I can find one. Does yours have a story to tell?

Yes, it does! The wedding picture is my husband and I with pictures of the kids to the right of us. The blue fabric is a piece of my wedding gown and my wedding ring (don't know if you can see it) is tied to a ribbon on the gown. There's a clock that used to be on a necklace that I wore when my husband and I dated. Then there's the glasses I wore when we got married. Also, the years that we graduated from off of our graduation tassels. The other things I added just to fill in. I thought that it turned out pretty neat. I need to take it apart and fix the necklace because it's coming unglued. I'm not sure what I'm going to put in the one that I bought, but I got a good price for it.

Diana, that is SO neat!
I love how the piece is so personalized and classy looking.

Diana you did a wonderful job with your photos and mementos .. You are so creative.. I love the little china doll. I like antiques to not much of a collector though. Glad you had a fun weekend...


Janet I have never been to a dog show sounds like you had fun. All I have been doing lately is working. Not complaining but I need some time for meeee.

Diana I love everything about the frame. Did I read right that your wedding ring is in there too? I'm curious why you don't wear it, but it's okay if it's none of my business. I want to do something like that too. I really love it!

You would love it Gina. All the different breeds and really for the most part, everyone is so nice and willing to share information and let you take pictures. We all need time for us and I really enjoyed spending it with Lynne and her hubby at the dog show.
