Somewhere in Time,
Unlimited together with The Washington Regency Society present: Spring Event |
|
|
The day began for many, in downtown
Sumner, WA. Several of us met around 1 pm to begin antiquing. We started with Kristi's and then worked our way up the street to the local antique mall. |
|
 Sweet vignette assembled in the store. |
 Very helpful clerk efficiently handled our purchases! |
 |
Here, you see a few of the ladies strolling into the antique mall. There were maaaaaany wonderful finds: vintage clothing, gloves & shoes, hat boxes, furniture, even a horse bridle! Follow us thru the mall as we share some lovely images of what we enjoyed... |

|
What have we here? It's Miss Joanna who appears to have
spotted something beautiful in the large glass case. I wonder what she will buy.... |
|
 |
Lookie who we spotted here today - it's Miss Mari! Her velvet Regency Era hat & Spencer are historical copies of a famous outfit worn in a Regency-era movie. Doesn't she look fantastic? The gold is such a glorious color on her. |
 Lady Victoria had to chuckle. These are the same type of cups that her grandmother allowed her to use for coffee when Lady V was a child. Mmmmm, coffee with milk! |
 Shabby chic products could be found in this shopkeeper's stall. The silverware was appealing and drew people in for a closer look. |
 Black and cream made an attractive combination on this table. |
 This creative seller use chalk paint in a vintage white and pale pink! |

 The little candle was made in Germany - a good value at only $2.50! |

 Over here everyone - Please smile prettily for your favorite Paparazzi! |
 |
As we left the store, we spotted other lovely |
 Are those more of our ladies? |
 Yes it is! Wave ladies... |
 After an afternoon of shopping, several of us decided to visit the saloon for a quick liquid refreshment. |
 In the spirit of "All for one and one for all," we stepped inside the saloon... |
 |
Suddenly, it was time to move from downtown and shopping, to the beautiful Victorian house called "The Secret Garden Tearoom" a few blocks away.. |
 The Secret Garden Tearoom is a beautiful Victorian home which was converted to a restaurant/tearoom. |

Welcome to the Easter Bonnet Tea! Here, two bunnies (Sir Harry of Essex and wife, Lady Victoria) greeted participants as they arrived for the tea. Secret Garden has a number of wonderful arbors which support climbing roses. Stop by another time a couple of months from now to view the roses in full bloom! |
 |
 The porch sports large house numbers. |
 As you step inside, there's a sweeping staircase. |

belies her vivacious spirit! |
