I decided to use my Saturday to do the next best thing....SHOPPING! I found some really lovely things today. A friend in Alabama recently had a baby girl. I needed to send a gift. I love purchasing baby cardigans. I have no idea why but I just think they are so adorable and classic. I picked this Laura Ashley cardigan. Look at the tiny knitted bunny in the pocket. I think Miss Annabelle will look fabulous in it. Isn't that a cute Southern baby name? I love that name, Annabelle.
I also picked up this fantastic binder for work. I love it! The pattern is by Waverly. I really love Waverly patterns so this was perfect for me. They have fantastic fabrics.
My husband and I decided to run into one of our favorite book stores. We love to lounge and read books for hours. We are in desperate need of our own home library. While browsing through the books and music selection I came across this AWESOME CD. It's Nat King Cole. My Papa use to listen to Nat King Cole when I was a little girl. His music always reminds me of some fun found memories of my grandparents.
I also wanted to share my new hankie. I adore monogram hankies. I like to keep one in my make-up case in my purse. It has little blue G's for Gigi. And look at my new compact!!! It's an antique that I found during one of my antique trips. It over 80 years old. I haven't decided if it's something I want to keep in my bag or not. I'm afraid I'll misplace it. It's in fantastic shape for it's age.
Tonight I'm making a shrimp pasta dish, bread with oil & vinegar, salad, and a bottle of white wine. We are listening to my new Nat King Cole CD. How are you spending your weekend?

I love the Laura Ashley sweater you found for Miss Annabelle and I too love the Waverly patterns...the binder is gorgeous! I don't think we will get any cold snap here in South Florida and think I might get out in the yard and do some planting this week:)
Waverly has been a long time favorite of mine,I love vintage handkerchiefs and also always have one with me! I love that you too always have one on hand. So funny because I was just thinking about "bringing the Handkerchief back" as in giving them as small gifts!
Nat King Cole is one of my favorite crooners.
those are gorgeous! I wodner why hankies went out of style...I think they are such a nice accessorie!
