Junking!

Hello!

 

Today was a complete unexpected day of finding goods!  I guess you could say it was serendipity!  I went out for lunch with friends and they said a boutique was open - so I stopped on my way home!  Who would have thought I would find all this!  JACKPOT!  And- the coolest part... this all fit in my pumpkin!  (Who needs the truck!!!!)

 

Road/Antique tripping/Weekend Update!

Hey!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  These fall days are precious here in MN and we are really trying to make the most of each day before the snow flies!!  I had a fabulous weekend with my family!  I went road tripping with my husband yesterday, recevied a pleasant surprise by seeing my hooked rug featured in Mary Janes Farm magazine (WOW!) and finished of the weekend with my family at the Renaissance Festival followed by a longggg nap during the football game...a fire and s'mores!  Now I am back at the shop spending some time with YOU and then I will start kitting up some designs for my upcoming shows!  I am a night owl - so I am just getting started!

Yesterday, I had this bright idea to convince my husband that we should go up to a small town called Lindstrom and stop at this antique store where I purchased some cool thimbles at last weekend.  I had a great idea of what to do with them... and if you know me - I have to move on it and go get them!  So... after hitting Lindstrom, and the next town, and the next town... then saying I really think we are close a bunch of times... We finally found it in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin.  Oh geez!  What a hoot!  Anyway, my husband was such a swell guy and little did I know he realized way back on the drive that Turtle Lake has a casino!  LOL!  So let's just say we were both happy!  It started to rain on the way home so we stopped a cute pizza/malt shop and enjoyed a slice of pizza and malts!  I had a peanut butter/chocolate malt!  YUMMO!
