~A Marketplace & Mother’s Day

   Springtime has arrived in this small New England town. The Marketplace at Townsend Harbor set in a quaint historical church just had their grand opening! This multi-dealer shop has a nice collection of vintage home decor, antiques, textiles and plants. I enjoyed poking around looking at all of the eye-candy! I happily left with several potted (daisies) plants and an old metal watering can.

This photo was taken this past winter of the Cooperage. I love colors of the sky against whiteness of the fresh snow.

My new found treasures:

 

Daisies are such a happy flower.

My mother…I think she’s beautiful, she looks as glamorous as a movie star here!

 

Here I am as a child. I loved to play dress up…seems like yesterday.

My own two children, they’re growing up so fast.

No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you – life .

 

My special Mother’s Day cupcakes and card made by my daughter, so sweet.

  

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Blessings, Bonnie

~ Priceless Patriotic Pics

   Here are some of my favorite patriotic pictures that I have photographed. In just a few short weeks Memorial Day will be here…the unofficial start of the summer season! This gazebo all dressed up in patriotic bunting sits proudly in the middle of the town common where we live. A taste of Americana~I hope you’ll be inspired as I was when I photographed them.

 

Harley is feeling very patriotic!

Food happens to be one of my favorite subjects to photograph, the colors and the textures are so appealing!
