here i am gilding the lily...

Of all the years I have lived in California...I have never been to Fullerton. Yesterday...that changed. Those of you who have visited Fullerton will know of the charming and delightful houses and the old town feeling you get when you visit the heart of the city. It was here I wandered into 'Gilding The Lily' at 305 N. Harbor Blvd.Fullerton, CA 92832.  It's a celebration of times past with drawers of baubles and charms... walls of ribbons, chains, vintage hats and ephemera...a delight for the eyes... and a joy for the spirit...







                                                                                             
 I could not resist this chapeau, embellished with crisp black ribbon and miniature daisies... I miss hats... do you?

But... but... you were only a few blocks from Disneyland, m'dear. Same street, even. I mean... if you're going to be so close... surely DL would have been at least an equal delight for the eyes and a joy for the spirit.
