Project 15 Saint Patty's Day window Display at the Shop

One of the fun things I get to do at the North End Antiques and Collectables Shop in Cape May NJ is decorate the window. I did something green for St. Patty's Day, and the coming of Spring.

A bit of green fenton and a big old green apothecary jar


 A pot full of Shimmerry Gold tulle and Gold Vintage Purses.
 Another piece of fenton and an old lamp.




 This will be a simple change up for Easter by removing the crystal and silver and just adding some pretty yellows and a bit of pink  or blue pastels.

And that will probably involve some of these pretty linens, creating a little  cottage look


 A sneek peek behind the linens, at the old door I found that I have fallen in love with.

Aren't you glad spring is almost here?

Just wandering about the Shops and boutiques in Key West

We had a wonderful day on Thursday.
Beginning the day with breakfast with the" lattitude  to change your attitude" printed right on the table!

We found ourselves the most wonderful little Frenchy style shop!
I loved their window and had to go in.





Very drool worthy.


On Petronia 2 blocks west of Duval. I believe it was called Besime Mucho


An absolute stop if you visit Key West.

There are five antiques shops in key west. I think we hit them all.

 I adore these vintage bowls.


 And a lot of boutiques.


 I love this purse discovered at one of them.. burlap and buttons, cute isn't it?
I'm not sure which was more fun, discovering little shops, cozy eclectic houses or little side pubs, for refreshment.
Check out this front porch on this house discovered on one street. Obviously an artist. It reminds me of a mayan calender! It also appears they are preparing to hang a gorgeous stained glass lamp.
So awesome.
And one of my favorites is below- Only in the keys will you find such luscious colors combined, all in one house.
Peach, aqua and yellow. I love this one!!



Margarittaville on Duval is a fun place to stop in and if you order a large drink, you get a glass to go home with!

I loved Earnest Hemmingway's house, so much energy there from a previous era. The grounds are lush, and full of fung chi.
Warning picture heavy.

 As soon as you enter you feel it!



The room to the right
Love these doors that open up to the outside!



bench is behind the staircase

Upstairs... the Hemingway bed, complete with kitty cats.


Some personal pics in the house of Hemmingway



Me on the porch.

 I loved the view from the 2nd floor porch!
 And sitting by the Hemmingway pool....

Can I go swimming?




Ahhh time to go back and swim in the hotel pool.
