This morning I wanted to share a few items I've found while out shopping. A couple weeks ago my friend, Jane and I went to Juliette to have lunch at the Whistle Stop Cafe. I found this cute spoon rest in a shop there. I can't believe this is the only thing I bought.
Here is Jane in the cafe, she would only let me take her picture from afar. If you remember a few weeks ago I posted about my trip to Juliette with my hubby, the cafe was about to close so we didn't get to eat there, and when I told Jane about our visited she wanted us to go.
Whistle Stop Cafe
This is my plate. I love sweet potato fries and grill chicken sandwiches.
Friday Jane came to visit me and we went shopping in my town where there are several local antique and consignment shops. We had a walk in the park in town and then on to shopping. I found this hatbox at one of the stores and was so surprised at the price, only $2.99.
I love hatboxes. I am using this one to store some of my mini tea sets.
Jane just had to buy me this plate when I was admiring it. She said that I could remember her by it, she is such a generous and good friend, I told her I didn't need anything for me to remember her by. When I got home with it I noticed I had a teacup and a vase, (that seems to me), that the rose pattern matched. This morning I made myself a cup of Earl Gray tea with cinnamon raisin toast for breakfast.
I love the edges of the plate and vase. I had the ribbon on the vase but I think I like it better without it.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

Oh...how I love your header! What better focal point than God's Word!
I LOVE sweet potato fries too!!! And fried green tomatoes! I had some at a local restaurant here called "The Ivy House", on Valentine's Day with my office staff.
I love your hatbox, plate, and cup and saucer and vase! Yes they DO match! The spoon rest is adorable.
Ok, I loved everything about this post, except that I couldn't be there too! Maybe someday I'll take a trip to your neck of the woods and we'll go tea-partying and shopping too!
Thanks for sharing!!
