Each year, the Lauritzen Gardens Antique Show helps beautify my home. I can never imagine what treasures I will find, and am always surprised and thrilled with what I bring home.

I have become a regular customer of Zane Moss Antiques. Zane and his lovely wife are an absolute delight. I bought a black box from them last year, and although I promised myself, no more boxes, somehow, I couldn't let this one go...

I'm always on the lookout for antique books. Clark Graves Antiques, a new dealer for our show this year, had plenty to choose from. I added a few more to the shelves ~ little by little...

Thomas Fortner is another regular for me. This year, I found this awesome french brass jardiniere. I can use it in almost every room in my house...

I've been searching for just the right thing for this wall. Previously, there was a very plain and regular print. Now, a super charming Van Gogh-ish painting from Sebasky and Hildreth. I love the colors, love the frame, and especially the crusty quality. I think it's absolutely perfect..

Barley Twist, another new dealer this year, also had something I couldn't live without.

This darling bench with original needlepoint, the most gorgeous wood color, and beautiful carved legs was too beautiful to pass up...

And from The Black Tulip ~ remember the antique shop I visited in Denver? I found this exquisite little dude. I'm so attracted to crusty!

I found several other things I really wanted, but I have to save some room in this house for future shows!
