Anne Perry Speaks at the Provo Library!

Here I am with the wonderful author, Anne Perry!  I'm a lover off mystery novels, little known fact #217, and she is one of the finest if not THE  finest Mystery writer of our time! 

I met my friend, and fellow blogger, Shirley of Zetta's Aprons at the beautiful Provo Library!

The staff dressed in Victorian attire, as Ms Perry's mysteries are set in that time period!!

The gal on the left made her costume, while the gal on the right has a talented daughter who made hers!!

Here I am with the head of Staff!!  Kinda makes me  wanna work at the Provo Library!! 

Booths at Treasures North.

Today a talented former dealer came into the mall while I was working to say he'd just moved into a new booth next door!  Since I work in the south store of our twin warehouse antique establishment, I just had to run over to check it out!!  Here it is!  (Above) Full of wonderful garden goodies!! 

Old friend Mike's booth always looks good too!! 

As does Chuck's. 

Of course Keith's booths are always the stars of the show!! 

I might have gotten carried away.  Keith does have about 6 booths here at the north store. 

OK. This is the last of Keith's displays for now!! 

And this one is Lila's. She's a huge Pyrex fan and a fellow follower of Utah Pyrex Pirates on Face Book!! 

And last of all, here is my own recently redone booth at the north store... 

... In all its glory.   Thanks for coming along!! 

Old Texas Missions.

Here we are visiting the Catholic missions here in San Antonio ... This first one is the oldest, San Fransisco de la Espada.  It's named for Saint Francis of the sword. 

Here's my girls in front of this charming early 1700s chapel. 

I love the red brick around the window mixed with the gray stone. Originally it was all stuccoed and white washed, of course I love the aged brick and exposed stone. 

My grand girl Charlie walks up the isle of the church. 

       This is Saint Francis of the sword 

There are three missions close together and we went to the San Jaun mission next.  Here I am with Charlie and her mom, Britt 

This mission has white washed stucco. 

I loved this water feature in the garden of the parsonage.  

Wouldn't it be amazing to live in a 300 year old house!! 

                 Great photo op too! 

Here's the interior of the San Jaun chapel 

  We had a great time! Time to go kids!!
