Flowers Blooming

There is a hibiscus bush right outside my kitchen window that is blooming right now. This is what I get to look at every morning while I wash dishes and make tea. This is one of the things that makes moving from New York worth it. Our backyard is full of butterflies too but they wouldn't sit still long enough to be photographed!

Antiquing

This weekend my mom and I drove to Mt. Dora to go antiquing. We found some great stuff, including an amazing wood and glass display cabinet from the original Macy's Department Store in New York, it was beautiful. The thing was ginormous though, you would need an equally amazing and huge house to put it in.

These were two of my favorite finds. I'm kicking myself for not getting the thread cabinet...the 24 hour rule has passed and I am definitely still pining for it.

Headed to the mountains...

We're headed up to my parent's cabin in the mountains for a few days. We are in need of a little break from reality and I am on a mission, well several missions really. I must start finalizing wedding plans (we still don't have a d.j. and we are almost three months away from the big day!), I am also hoping to find some amazing furniture for the new house. There are lots of antique shops near the cabin and we are also taking a detour to Savannah along the way so I hope to fill the truck up with lots of goodies. 

I also get to bring home an antique dresser I bought while I was there over Christmas, it had to stay behind since at the time, we were living in NYC and we couldn't cram one more thing into that apartment.  Other than that, it's just some much needed rest and relaxation.  We've been homeowners for exactly one month and it's already taking it's toll on us so it will be nice to get away from the stresses and responsibilities for a while!
