Last evening at the beach, we went to our fav 
gift" shop that has unique items but in no way cheap!  I found some white dogwood that looks really good and some pomogranates.  

This was stunning, although, I love mine more and wouldn't change.  If one looks closely in the shop, one is a stag, the other a doe.

At the antique store, just a few spoons, one from the 1800's!

I WISH we could have been together!!!

@ECBG @The dogwood flowers are so delicate!  Nice combo.

Oh, my, @ECBG ,  what fun you had!  Agree with @Lilysmom1 ,  beautiful florals you picked up.  Love the deer, and those fiddle spoons have such charm.  That must be a very tempting (and dangerous) shop to visit.

We were in an antique shop yesterday, and I got a small set of children's books, part of the "Cherry Ames" books on a mystery-solving young nurse.  The copy below is an image from online--  mine were a boxed set of four, and near-mint condition. 

 

I couldn't help myself!

Thank you.  I have some pink dogwood and will do an arrangement.  The pomogranites will go on the mantle with my handmade Santa or the deer I bought last Christmas.

I would have absolutely loved to have those books during my middle school years in the summers.  I found a bunch of my mother's Nancy Drew books and finished them in one summer!  

OH!   In one shop, I saw where they had taken the covers off of old books and were displaying them like the white books occasionally used in decor now.

Almost forgot!  When I went to the antique shop, (she's the one that wouldn't sell me that big spoon over the phone last year when I got the UTI and couldn't go back).  It was a "stuffing spoon".  Never heard of them.  Have you???

[Oznell]

I have heard of them, @ECBG ,  although I've never owned one.  At one point I loved poring over antique silver patterns, etc.  Love the big proportions of those stuffing spoons.  That's a shame she wouldn't sell it to you over the phone!   Those places can be a bit starchy and "unbending" in some of their business practices...

Now that I know, there are several I can look at.  The patina on hers was lovely.  I should have pushed myself to back over sick in the rain, durn it.  Water under the bridge.

On the Real Real, there is a solid sterling stuffing spoon.

You really hit on a treasure chest!! Love the poms!!
