Treasured Friend and Treasures From My Trip

Hey everyone, I went a little over

board on my buying on the trip, last

month to our granddaughter's 

wedding ......I had to mail back two

boxes of stuff!  I like shopping in

different states, you can find some

great stuff!  I wish I had my van, but

we flew, so that limits you on what 

you can buy, that is for sure.

You can see a mustard colored 

cookie jar in the picture, above. I 

didn't get that on the trip, I got it

at that little flea market, that we go

to some weekends.  I got it for $2!  

I saw one on the trip for $35!

Like most cats, Chum has to lay on 

what ever is brought into the house,

so he took a nap in my wooden bowl.

The old sock dryer has it's original

price tag on it! I got a great deal on 

the Warren Kimble plates.

I hadn't bought any Boyd's bears in 

years, except for an ornie, so I came 

home with two of them, plus two others,

that aren't Boyd's. There are molds,

cookie cutters and patterns and pattern

books....

I put the peeker bear, in the pear suit, 

in one of my big wooden bowls with 

some utensils on the hutch and I put

the two bears on the right up on the 

shelf, that we put up awhile back,

you can see that shelf, a couple posts

back.

You can see part of a willow tree with

patriotic stars on it, it's up on that 

shelf, also.  The blue and white 

material, that you see, are panels 

that you can cut out and make 

pillows, throws or what ever you 

want with them. There is a throw 

underneath them, that I am 

thinking of cutting up to make 

things with....Probably won't

happen, we'll see.

Well, I saved the best for last!  I got to 

meet up with a dear blogging friend,

T. J. of Willow Bend Prims and

from Prim Pals!  We got to shops a

little, but the time went by too fast!

I had gotten my hair cut and permed

and it rained on us a little and boy 

did it frizz up! We were having so 

much fun, we couldn't quit smirking

and laughing long enough to get a

good picture...This is the best of the

bunch...The girls taking the pictures

were trying to get us to behave, but

that was impossible!  I found a lot

of the goodies I bought on the trip

in the Traderbakers Flea Market,

which we had just come out of....

Such fun, we will have to do it, again!

I didn't have a whole lot of time at 

any place, but I had a lot of fun, got

lots of goodies (lot of it is still in a box)

and hope we can do it, again!

It was great meeting you, T.J!!!!

I will be posting my giveaway, soon,

so be watching for that and thanks

for stopping by!
