What a Journey!

As most of you know I headed out last weekend to attend the Elkhorn Flea Market that was on Sunday.  I left on Friday so I could explore the area and visit some of my favorite shops and of course find some new ones along the way!!!

I did take lots of pictures so I'm thinking I'll have to break this down into a couple of posts.

(I don't won't to overwhelm you...smile)

So with Siri as my guide and I must say my companion for the weekend as I explored some back roads we came across ~ Apple Butter House ~ Don't you just love that name???

Caroline is the owner of this wonderful prim shop and she is such a sweet spirited soul.

I must say she would be a wonderful friend to have ~ I really enjoyed my visit with her.

Lets step inside and see what she has to offer ~

There were other treasures that I found ~ but didn't take pics of

like ~ watering cans, gas cans, and pails.

You might have seen them in the van pic on road trip day 4.

But my favorite find was ~

Oh the stories this bike could tell.

I loved that it still had the blocks on the pedals so the child could reach them.

I remember when my Dad did that for us.

If you see something and you want to know what it is ~ just give me a holler!

I'll email you back as long as your not a no-reply blogger.

A Little Disappointed!

I'm just a little disappointed in snowstorm "Bob." I was looking forward to a wonderful snowstorm.  The kind of snowstorm where you can't go any where.  I had my day or days planned out to work on wonderful creations, page through some wonderful prim magazines and maybe watch a movie.  Sorry to say things didn't go as planned.

Yesterday when I left for work ~ the snow hadn't started falling yet.

This is what our yard looked like when I left.

When I was leaving work ~ the snow was falling!!!

If you can say ~ it was Beautiful!!!

The snow was those big sticky flakes that stick to everything!

I thought ~Tomorrow is going to be a Beautiful day to be snowed in!!!

I have so many project to work on!

and some wonderful reads to pass the time!

Country Home ~ Collector's Issue ~ LOVE IT!!!

Country Living the British Edition

and of course Prims!!!

Awesome Book!

Congratulations to Wanda ~ Gatherings & Kerri ~ Calico Rabbit for being featured in the magazine!!!

Something fun!!!

Things didn't work out as planned.

When I woke up this morning  ~ There was no beautiful snow ~ just a slushy mess.

I did work on some creations and when I get them completed I will show and tell!

My other disappointment is last weekend there was a indoor flea market being held in Appleton.

Yippee ~ I been dying to go to a flea market ~ one of my favorite things to do. There was going to be 75 booths!!!

I don't know about you but when I think flea market ~ I think old, wonderful collectibles, vintage, junk, time worn etc.   I was so disappointed  ~ there wasn't very many booths that had the things I described ~ maybe 4 the rest of the booths was like going to a rummage sale ~ Really???

There was one booth there that was all kids clothing piled in a heap and a bunch of toys ~ Seriously???

This is all I found.

 So Sweet!

I didn't buy the sewing box for the sewing box  ~ I bought it for it contents.

Love old wooden thread spools!

This wonderful wood carved box was in there too!

It's snowing again ~ started late this afternoon!

I'm going to go do a little stitch'in!

Until next time

Stay Safe & Warm my Friends!!!

P.S.  Happy Leap Day!!!
