They say three of any thing makes a collection. There's nothing I love more than spending time scouring the aisles of flea markets or the nooks and niches of an antique shop looking for my collections. HAPPY HUNTING

Three Of Anything

This has been a long busy day. Out the door at 545. In my OR at 630 getting ready for my first case of the day. My schedule today was 3 surgeries in 8 hrs. All the surgeons were happy and all the patients did great. I left work headed for my sweet 91 yr old Moms to spend some quality time with her. I arrived home around 830pm. A quick shower, my favorite pj's, my dog Heidi, and the best part, my lap top. I must admit I love to get lost in all the wonderful blogs. I haven't blogged for a few days so I took a few quick pictures to post tonight.

White Wednesday

I just love the look of a country white washed table.

The green in the apples and plants add just enough color to this buffet.

There is nothing more inviting then crisp white bed linens.

Silver Sunday

This beautiful coffee set was given to me by my dear friend Judy Griffith on one of our annual trips to Jefferson.

This silver tray sits on my entrance table. I like to decorate it with holiday items.

This tray has a wonderful copper patina from the aging of the tray.

I am always amazed by the detail on some of the trays.

I used this as a cake stand for my daughters wedding cake.

A silver wine bucket can be used in so many ways.
