YONKS!! Blog and Etsy Love

August 3, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 2 Comments

Yonks is a fabulous blog written by Dianne from Wales, she lives on a sailboat with her husband and daughter and not only writes a wonderful blog, but takes beautiful photographs and runs an Etsy store that sells some fabulous vintage and antique finds.The shipping is so reasonable and so are the prices. If you are looking for something special and unique go and check out the Yonks Etsy store, I am telling you that you will not regret it, I may though for sharing such a treasure with blog land!  Let me show you what I purchased in the last few months.

The above images are a few of the 10 etchings of Cardinal Mazarin that I purchased, and they are all in excellent shape and beautiful to look at.

These silver napkin holders and a little silver cup were the second things that I purchased.  Everything was wrapped beautifully and exactly as described. Go and check out Yonks, today, not only for the one of a kind finds but also because Dianne is a wonderful writer and a blogger who ferrets out really interesting artists and finds!

 In addition to her adventures at the auction, she features a wonderful series about self-representing artists and she has showcased some really spectacular people. If you take a look you will see that original art is accessible to everyone!

Dianne is a special woman and I am so happy that I am getting to know her! In fact one day I hope to visit her shop and tea room which is a future dream of hers!

Come over to the At the Picket Fenceand see all of the treasures!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
