Spring is in the air! It is a time for great expectations, and my recent antique buying trip to Europe provided lots of excitement! Just getting back this week, I couldn’t wait to continue decorating for Easter. (The buying trip will provide inspiration for many blogs and photos to follow.) John, Rebecca, Jessica and Stephanie will be working diligently to process the photos from the trip, and we’ll upload them to our website as fast as we can. It will be a thrill for me to share with you all the incredible finds and antique discoveries from the trip in the very near future.
