~Estate Sale Finds, Flowers, Minestrone Soup & Crostata~

I stopped by an estate sale this weekend and wanted to share with you some finds I bought.

I found lots of old sheet music.

I grew up in a house with these songs.

This one is from France and had to get it!

I loved the illustration of this one!

I loved this find!!

I think we had this one in our house when I was little.

Beautiful bouquet from Stan!

I love peonies and had to buy these beauties!!

I decided to make some fresh minestrone soup

with the swiss chard and yellow squash growing in our garden.

Delicious,

 for the cooler weather in San Diego now.

For dessert a fruit crostata.

A great ending to a wonderful weekend!
