Enjoyed the Day!

On my last post I mentioned about the Vintage Shop Hop.

Yesterday was a beautiful day ~ 

Especially if you were out and about traveling to some wonderful shops and meeting some new friends along the way!!!

It sure was a fun filled experience and some of the shops had such wonderful treats set out for us.

Which was well appreciated ~

Spring Plantings Show!

Is Anybody planning on going to this show???

I am seriously thinking about going to this show ~ it all depends if my niece Niki can get off work.

It's going to be difficult for me ~ I have to work on the Friday night before the show and can't get off.

We would have to leave for the show after I'm done with work and then travel 8 hrs to get there ~ by the time we reach our destination it will be 6 a.m. in the morning.

If anyone has any other info about this show  or if you are planning on attending ~ please let me know!!!

If your thinking about going to this show and want to know where I found it you can visit it here ~ http://springplantings.blogspot.com/

It was a beautiful day here in WI on Sat. so I ventured out and went to my favorite quilt shop ~ Primitive Gatherings to get some fabric for some projects I'm working on.

I also found a wonderful punch needle pattern from With thy Needle & Thread called Berries & Cream.

After that I decided to take a road trip out to Chicken Scratch Vintage and see what Jenifer had ~ I hadn't been out there since last summer ~ it's a fun place to stop!!!

You can keep track of what is going on there on her facebook page ~

Here's some of the treasures I picked up!

Found some old small crates (love to use these in my creative space for fat quarters)

This was stamped on the bottom of the crate.

The box on the bottom is the same box in the top picture just showing you what was stamped on the side of the box.  The top box in this picture we think had a railroad lantern in it.

I also found this wonderful woven rug!

and my favorite finds ~

were the stool, jug and table (I found the little table at the Country Rose Shop)

What have you found lately in your travels??? Please do share!!!

Not much else happening around here ~ just waiting for my honey to come home from his scuba diving trip to Palau

Until Next Time

Treat Yourself Today!

It has been a while ~

I can't believe how fast the time has passed.

Yes like I said it's been a while since I've done a post.

My last post was about a little boy fighting cancer and had a Birthday wish to receive Birthday cards because he liked to receive mail ~ I want you all to know that he received mail beyond his wildest dreams!!!  Thanks to all who was a part of this special day!!!

Beckett ~ received 10,000+ cards not including packages. It took 4 mail trucks to deliver his wishes.

How special is that!!!

Some other things I've been up to ~

I along with my friend Jenny and daughter Amanda attended the last flea market in Elkhorn,WI

So many vendors ~ even the buildings were packed with wares!

It was a beautiful day ~ we even bought a vintage shopping cart at the end of the show to tote some of our goodies to the car!

Once again we packed it full!!!

I'm already looking forward to next year!!!

I also had a craft show to get ready for the beginning of Oct ~
