Stealing a moment or two

Today,

I stole a few moments for myself.

 September was such a busy month at school.

I just had to come up for air

...and take myself...

somewhere where I can easily lose myself 

... wandering through the past...

at Something Olde ~ Something New

{my favorite consignment shop}

...where I found this sweet gem of a teacup

and the little birdie that looks so cozy inside

and this adorable Warren Kimble hen and chicks lamp

that is now on my kitchen table.

 The sweet cross stitch tablecloth was a must.

as was the milk glass hen and chicks covered dish.

...now....

..I didn't stop there...

 

I also found a J Jill cashmere sweater set for a steal.

... I think I need the soft and cozy hugs of this sweater set 

along with all my prayers

to keep me sane at school :o)

{I love my students - they keep it real... it's all the state and national pressures making it unreal!}

 Oh... and for just a few dollars, I picked up fresh new Liz Claiborne reading glasses for my purse.

Can you believe how many things are typed in size 9 font these days!?!

 I love visiting this consignment shop filled with vintage treasures.

It makes me feel like I'm touching the past

...like I'm back in the days of my mother and grandmother...

a wonderful

and comforting

feeling

♥

Wishing you all wonderful and comforting October days.

Blessings and Overflowing Grace

to you

always,

~ Maria
