Fleur De Lis Glasses

When we visited Rocheport, I bought a couple of cute little fleur de lis juice glasses from Richard Saunders. They are clear, but you can get a variety of spring colors from Pottery Barn.

Mercury Glass

Finally - here's the mercury glass light that I bought from Richard Saunders as we were moving from Rocheport. It holds a tea light in the bottom. I haven't tried it with one yet, and I'm really not sure how to hang it up. It has a hook at the top. Any ideas? I really love it and would like to use it!

Bear Clock

Last weekend when I was shopping around Rocheport, I got this cute pop-out bear clock at Richard Saunders. It says, You say you saw a floating bear? However can that be? A dog in a barrel and an elephant too? What a wonderful sight to see! It was just too fun to pass up.

Thursday Two Things: Richard Saunders/Scentimental Gardens

Here are a couple more things that I'm going to miss when I leave and that I'll be excited for when I arrive.

1. Missouri - shops in Rocheport, like Richard Saunders.

2. Illinois - Scentimental Gardens in Geneva - I just got clued in to this one by Eddie Ross (check out his post - you'll want to come with me!), and it's not far from where we're moving!

Richard Saunders

Last February, my sister Sara came to visit me in my little town. I was so excited to have a visitor and was going to drag her to every shop in town. The only problem was that we had a freak snow storm the day that she arrived. We ended up trudging around to find every shop closed - except for Richard Saunders! He lives right on my street in a 170-year-old home and sells wonderful gifts and antiques. If I remember correctly, she found a cool old compass and a magnifying glass for her husband and son, respectively. (I later got one of the compasses for my dad, and he's now using it to teach his Boy Scouts - how cool is that?) We're glad that we can always count on Richard Saunders.
