Springtime at SuzAnna's Antiques. . . . . . . . . . .

Yesterday, a cool and breezy but bright sunshiny day, I stopped by SuzAnna's Antiques 

when I was doing a late afternoon run for a few groceries from Trader Joe's. 

People were out - gals shopping diligently now the 'decorating gene' has been 

kick started with the better weather, a few husbands and boyfriends tagging along, 

such as mine - husband, not boyfriend of course! 

Kids were playing around the Vintage Village complex and all in all 

everyone seemed cheery now that Spring is here. 

Granddaughter Jasmin was working at SuzAnna's - her smile is always 

enough to make me happy - come rain or shine.

So I looked around, not for anything in particular as I have no pressing interior projects 

planned for Spring. The exterior such as porch, deck, gazebo and garden need mainly

manual labor and TLC rather than decoration this year - enough said on that daunting subject! 

Of course I took a few photos to share with you as many of you love antiquing, thrifting

and treasure hunting.

The Easter decor was arriving and there will be a lot more displayed this coming week.

I have my collection of white rabbits out of storage and will be playing with 

them soon.

These vintage extension rules I almost brought home!  Bob slapped my hand 

as I reached for them and told me I didn't need them. 

Of course I really don't, but they are so neat and reminded me of the one 

my parents used for measuring when I was growing up.

I do love the pair of lamps. I didn't read the tag so not sure of the style - classical, 

art deco? They are in great condition though and would be so attractive 

in the right room.

Lovely glass dessert bowls - makes one thinks of whipping up a fluffy mousse, 

or later churning some homemade ice cream - do you do that!

Hats? No, Easter bonnets!

Never thought of using a chandelier as a hat rack - how perfect. 

These were really pretty 'bonnets' and, as I love hats, I slapped my own hand 

before reaching for one. 

I really think the woven straw cloche is awesome - I can see Lady Mary

or Lady Edith wearing this one on a Spring day around the spectacular grounds 

of Downton Abbey. Do you agree? 

Do you wear hats?

That was a quick walk through SuzAnna's Antiques. Now the weather is warming 

I'll get back more often. The merchandise changes rapidly at this very popular 

venue - if you see something you like, don't wait because it will probably be 

at somebody's home later today.

If you're a 'treasure hunter' I hope you will enjoy some Spring days 

out and about at your favorite places soon.
