Today I went to my favorite antique store"Simply Friends" in my hometown owned by two darling sisters Renee & Debi. They are as sweet as pie and chit~chatting is part of why I go to visit their store!I am soooo thrilled with my latest finds! Do you remember Princess House from the 1970's?! I hostessed so many Princess House Parties! Did you? I found this Princess House cheese cutting board and glass dome at Simply Friends! Oh yes, I went crazy thinking of what I could use it for and cheese was not on the list! Me, oh, my! I am one happy girl...until my next visit to Simply Friends!
Humm, what could be in this cute bag? 
This beautiful handmade silk flower pin was made by a local artist. I can't wait to wear it on my denim jacket! She hand paints/dyes the ribbon. The rose is so soft to the touch.
Debi didn't even have the price tag on this vintage PINK brooch yet! I had to have it!
My favorite shortbread in town!
This homemade shortbread is sooooo yummy, I had to eat one during the "photo session"! 
I love this dainty teacup! I am going to put vintage ivory buttons in it and use it in my craft room.
What a pretty vignette all my findings make!
Have a wonderful day sweeties!Love,
Maryjane xox

MaryJane,
I LOVE the pink brooch...Awesome find!
And, YES!!!! OMG! I remember the Princess House crystle parties...I was as poor as a church mouse at that time & could not afford it,,,but a friend from church was a distributor/sales and she needed some seing done (she didn't sew & I sewed just about everything) so we did the barter of sewing for PH crystle...I still have 4 water glasses stashed away.
Thanx for the fun trip down mwmory lane.

What sweet treasures!
Looks like a great little shop. And I love your finds!
What lovely things. I came her via Maison Douce, my friend Isabel's blog. I was just down in your neck of the woods last month and stopped in at Simply Friends. My Dad lives in Temecula so I always visit the shops in Murrietta when I'm down there. I'll be back.

P.S. Love that brooch!
Your treasures are so cute and fun. Even the tag that your pin was on is awesome. Oh, by the way, I shared your Laundry Soap recipe with my homemakers group. They are making and loving it. One thing that I did add is taking 2 cups of solution (powder), and mixing in one box of rit dye whitener. I use that solution for white clothes.......what do you think?

MJL,
How pretty everything looks. Makes me want to go to the thrift store. But the thing is I have been there twice this week!
I don't think I have ever heard of the hostess party you mentioned. Was that just something in your area?

How pretty! I'm in love with the brooch! LOL It all looks so pretty and inviting sitting there under and beside the dome! :-) Fun Post today! ♥
BTW, just read your last post. It was a Hoot! (I have some frosting in my fridge as we speak....) (shhhhhhhh)
Ohhh, I love your pink brooch! If I were there I would have to have raced you for it. LOL! I remember Princess House--I used to sell it and I still love it. I wonder if it's still around. Looks like you had a wonderful day and what a fun post!

hi mom,
very pretty things you found and they are so you! xo
I've been to that shop. I recognized the bag! Love that pink rose ribbon pin. Just beautiful. Mimi
Hello! I could not believe my eyes when I read that Simply Friends, is located just 35 -40 min from where I live. I am actually going to be at La Maison Rustique Barn Sale, tomorrow in Temecula and hope to stop by Simply Friends, on my way home:) Awesome finds.
Blessings,
aimee
How I wish that I lived close to these shops. Love the things you found! "The Polka Dot Apron" is a clever and unique name for a bakery, and the scones looked amazing. Thank you for sharing this pretty post with us.
Hi, Maryjane, I just loved your pictures! At first I thought that the sweet you had was shortbread, My Favorite, with the pressed in flower on top, but, Wow! Scones with a flower imprint on them! I have never seen anything like that! And...they looked delisious...I just had to take a bite! Hope you didn't mind:D.
Thanx for the Beautiful Post! It Brightened my Day! Have a Sunshiny kind of Day! Thank
OH MY STARS!!! I ♥ pink....and I love those pins and YES...I hosted a ton of Princess House and still have quite a bit....I think you scored on your little trip to the antique store...love the teacup as well!!!!!!
I wish we had a store like that nearby. I'd be there at least once a week.
Goodness, Maryjane, reading your posts always makes me hungry!
Hugs, Suzanne
What a wonderful pin! Great finds!! Lori
Lovely treasures, Maryjane. I was just talking with a friend of mine about Princess House this week! I cannot tell you how many parties I went to through the years. I see it in thrift stores every now and then and wonder how anyone could give it up. Especially when you can use it for so many things. ;)
You lucky girl, you! Such loveliness!!
What lovely finds! So pretty. blessings,Kathleen
So gorageous! I think I'll go make some shortbread...you made me hungry!
One of my favorite stores too. So many fun things to look at. The girls always ask about you when I'm there! =)
Pink brooches and shortbread - you made my day!
What a successful hunt...looks like you bagged some treasures :-)
I love that pin!!! The teacup also sounds like a perfect button holder, if I lived closer I would have went shopping with ya (;
Hugs~Kelly
I'm with you on those glass domes, I buy everyone I can find. Check out the glass candle holder on my lastest Project Friday, I'm using it for a dome with tea cups and saucer. I adore the pin flower, doesn't look like it would be hard to make. Hugs, Rosemarie

When you add a lot of applications, it becomes very difficult to arrange them dragging them on the iphone small screen. Is there a PC application that will allow to arrange the icons quicker?
