Gifts For Me! From Me!!

Last month was my 32nd Birthday. As I contemplated what to do with my day, since my kids were at school, I decided to take a drive to the coastal town of Searsport Maine to visit their Antiques Mall. This was only my second time visiting the mall but I just love going there. It is about an hour drive from my house. I was hoping to find a special little something to purchase for myself for my Birthday! I could've bought many things that I adored but I settled for a couple of cute items for my home.

I didn't bring my camera as I wasn't planning on taking the trip but the next time I go I will definately take some photos to share with everyone! The following is from their website, which of course, has no pictures lol!

So at last here is what I purchased...
I saw this sweet 'February' birthday girl by 'Josef Originals' and decided then and there that I was going to collect all twelve months. I already had the pink 'January' one at home that belonged to my Grandmother. They are now on my shelf in my dining room and soon will have more to join them!
Next I fell in love with this sweet shabby pink towel rack. It stands about 4 feet tall. It has four rings for hanging tea towels and has scrolly legs. I am sorry for the poor picture quality as I will be buying a new camera a.s.a.p. Mine is in rough shape!
Next is my favorite purchase of the day!! I fell in love with this lamp especially the shabby vintage lampshade. It is so sweet!! Love the fact that its obviously old and used and the sweet bow!! LOVE! It has been completely rewired...I haven't hung it in a permanent place yet because I am currently redoing my livingroom, which is were it will hang.
I LOVE this unique plate. It has my favorite colors and style of shabby roses! I actually purchased this one on my first trip there but decided to share it anyway =O)
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I hope you have a fabulous day!!
