Treasured Finds
Dear Friends and Family,
Please leave a note below in comments, so I will know you are here. I'm back after a long absence due to illness. While away, I found some new ideas that I will add.
Welcome to Belle Ayers Tea Parlor and Boutique, a blog of rambling thoughts and daily happenings in the life of Betty, who is passionate about tea, treasured finds, and genealogy. Promise, I WON'T send you my family tree!
Please respond and let us know what you're doing. What is your favorite tea? Your favorite treasured find? We will write about everything, including feathering your nest!
Have you heard? Everyone is talking about repurposing. While I'm driving, I always look to see what families are throwing away, and if it looks good, I have my husband, Ed put it in the car. I'm greatly surprised at what nice pieces of furniature people discard when moving. There is something immensely satisfying about reinventing flea market and curbside treasures. While you're out searching for your own treasures to repurpose, stay on the lookout for mercury glass and sunburst merriors, 2 hot items. Enjoy going to estate sales and thrift stores. We are both busy trying to get our health issues taken care of. People are also donating excellent home decor,
furniture, and extremely nice items to the Good Will.
Glad to be back and I appreciate all of you super friends and families for taking the time out of your busy life to come enjoy this blog, and posting your comments.
You can contact me directly at belleayers@aol.com
Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a joyous New Year!
Hugs, Betty A.
