Hello, hello! How are ya doing? My days are consumed with work and playing Dr. Quinn for my boyfriend (he had minor surgery and he's doing good). I'm sorry for the disappearing act, but I'm here and bring along the final photos from the Liberty Antique Festival illustrating great color and collections.
The vintage picnic set = amazing. I thought it was one of the most inspiring pieces at the show, and would be perfect for a photo shoot or just to have. There was also colorful bowls, vintage pendant flags, an aluminum pitcher set, an old grocery basket, a large and amazing vanity set, vintage lighting, and a oh-so-neat collection of toy horses. I think horses might be the next must-have animal (think deer and owls from last year). I've seen more and more toy horses hit the vintage scene and become widely popular. We'll see!
Did you find any vintage goodies this weekend? I look forward to catching up!

Hi, just passing by to let you know that LiveYourStyle is celebrating its 1st anniversary and hosting a giveaway!
Oh yes. What a great trio of posts - almost as good as being there!
I managed to fit in a flea market and two carboot sales this weekend and naturally came home with a whole bunch of stuff.
I'm so with you re the horses. I have been buying a few recently, but I'm always partial to an owl or a deer.
Thanks for leaving comments on our blog.So kind words.
We would like to further exchange with you.We hope we can keep in touch!
Best wishes.
love the picnic basket, dr. quinn. hope your guy is feeling better and you, too.
wow, yes, that picnic set is indeed amazing!! it makes me want to go on picnics more often!
ahhh i want that picnic set! i dream of having a lovely picnic basket and having picnics every weekend in meadows
i'd love to get my hands on that top set!
and ps: thanks for stopping by and saying hello! it's good to be back!
I've never seen a vanity set in a case like that...imagine getting that as a gift once upon a time! My son collected plastic horses as a child in the 80s and I am saving them for his children.
Picnics! Horsies! PICNICS!
that picnic basket would make eating outside extra special.
I actually DID snag a cool vintage find! We've been looking for a new dining room table and just for fun I stopped at an antique co-op I'd never seen before. shoved back in a corner was a scratched-up oak table that was originally used as a work desk in the labs at the University of Oklahoma! It even had a metal tag with the cereal number on it. We scored it for under a $100!
I'm really loving all these pictures from Liberty!
thanks for introducing me to the liberty antiques festival..it looked amazing! I'll be heading to the brimfield show next week..story & photos on my blog after. Oh and thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog, so sweet of you.
What an amazing festival! Love that picnic set. Actually I love it all!
You snapped some incredible photos, deary! I can tell through the photos, you had a good time :)
I want to take that picnic basket with me!
love these, diana! :) and glad to hear your boyfriend is doing well!
What neat finds! Have a great week.
i LOVE the toy horses. It's so popular even Etsy has a category for Equestrian theme items! I did! I did make a lovely vintage find! I bought a 1960s dress that I'm going to convert into a shirt dress. I can't wait~
Hope bf is doing well.

i SERIOUSLY need to get on finding more antique shows in my area - you always find the coolest things at yours!
Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous! I love these, especially the picnic basket. I saw one at Goodwill but it was kind of icky and broken. There's a local outdoor antique sale coming up in a month near me, and I'm so excited to go!
I'm head over heels regarding what you saw!! I am running now to catch up on your marvelous experience and photos.
that might be the best picnic set I've ever seen. must have been so much fun browsing around!
love love love the horses!
Still. Drooling. :-)
Oh, sister...wait 'til you see what I scored this weekend! (Need to get my act together and post.) It was a very good yard sale weekend. Among my treasures...a vintage English picnic basket! :-) It's not as complete as the one in your picture but has the original enamelware dishes and storage bins. I'm going to use it to store crafty supplies, I think.
Thanks for sharing the vintage picnic set. It is not often you see these in such good shape.
