Just One More Thing!!!

Hello Friends!

So sorry I've been missing in action again ~ I've been trying to read every one's blog post when I can and when time permits I do post comments. 

The days just seem to be passing me by so quickly and I'm tired by the end of the day.

Hopefully I'll catch up soon and can be on an even pace... smile...

I did get back to Rita's wonderful prim shop and took some pics of her shop for all of you to see.

You never know when you'll be in the area and would like to stop by!!!

Graceful Reminders ~ Appleton WI

Please step inside!!!

Sorry about the glare in some of the pics ~ the sun was shining so bright that day.

So many wonderful prim goodies in her shop!!!

Please let her know I sent ya!!!

I did manage to get a flea market last weekend ~ bet you'll never guess what I picked up!!!

Yep more decorative glass jars!

The two jars on the left are mustard jars ~ the two jars in the back are honey jars ~ just love those!

The jar on the right is a peanut butter jar.

I did purchase other items ~ buttons, clothes pins, skeleton keys, tin molds and sewing notions.

Went over to A Simpler Time in Ripon ~ was a little disappointed ~ was hoping to see lots of fall prim goodies ~ but they haven't all arrived yet ~ going to have to make another trip!!!

I bought the child's chair at Graceful Reminders the pumpkin I purchased at A Simpler Time!

We also celebrated another wonderful Birthday with Aunt Tootie!!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Tootie ~ Love Ya!!!

Just love it when I can hang things on the line to dry!

 I Love the way Sandi packed all the wonderful goodies ~ with each package she had a little note to explain about the item ~ if she made it, where she got the pattern, if it was her own design etc.
