Where the Pretty Things Hide

“Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful”

These photos were from last month when my mom and I spent an afternoon out perusing through a local antique gallery and old fabric store.  Though now that we are entering fall, it seems a little inappropriate to do such a summery post,  however I just couldn't resist as it was indeed such a lovely afternoon spent amongst buried treasures, pretty trinkets, and prized relics.  It was funny, I didn't intend on snapping any photos on this day, but my mom offered and once we got started I kind of got caught up in all the color and texture surrounding me in this magical little place...luckily it was  Sunday afternoon and not many people were around to witness our getting carried away.  The fabric store brought me back to my days as a young girl when my grandmother and mother use to take me to pick out a pattern and fabric for my Easter and Christmas dresses my grandmother used to make for me.  They were beyond gorgeous and I always loved tagging along on the adventure of finding the perfect pattern, paging through the catalogue table and getting lost amongst the racks of fabric...perhaps even hiding under them:)

Now that I have taken my own little trip down memory lane, I do hope you are having one lovely week.
Do you have any memories of special places you used to go when you were young?
Do tell:)

Have a splendid weekend darlings!

Love,
