A White Wednesday farewell...

my best friend, Rebecca, from Ella Mae's Barn Gathering...

had to say so long to her Miss Kitty today...

she did a wonderful post about her here....

I was at Rebecca's a couple weeks ago and Miss Kitty, who was known for her attitude, let me pet her and didn't hiss at me once...

she always had before...

but today, she had to give her back...

but Miss Kitty is in good hands...

and now she will always be an angel kitty...

please, keep my friend in your prayers this week...

Miss Kitty was her first pet and she was 18 years old...

our babies become so much a part of our lives and when they pass from here...

there is such a void...

and a broken heart...

you are in my prayers, dear friend...

White Wednesday

Copper Eagle...

this is where my bestie, Rebecca, and I have our booths...

Craig and I stopped there this morning...

he had taken photos on Saturday of the inside, but we forgot to do the outside...

they always change things up out here...

they don't let anything sit still for long...

Rebecca has sold well outside in the past...

and here are some of the photos that Craig got while I was stocking my booth...

they so have a major variety of smalls...

and this is something I might grab for Rebecca later...

look at that old Crisco bottle...

it's got to be 30 years old...

my question is...

who would have kept it and why?

for that long?

in your kitchen cabinet?

probably from an estate sale...

we never could keep pink depression in the antique mall I worked at...

this is not priced high at all...

might be a good time to grab some...

love the biscuit jar in the back...

that may be the next purchase... 

little kid's chairs all hung up in a row...

this is my favorite booth in there...

there's some really cool stuff and larger pieces...

most of the dealers in here deal in smalls...

and there's junk in with some really nice stuff...

I have already made my booth rent and then some...

so the rest of the month is going to be gravy...

can't wait to move some more inventory...

got a pile to go in...

have a great day!

my peaceful morning...

good morning to you!

I always love this view early in the morning...

checking out the corn to see how much it grew over night...

and we have been lucky so far not the have the Japanese beetles yet...

they will invade the fern...

I'm kinda hoping the little buggers got froze out during last winter's ice storms... 

mower guy did  come yesterday and the "island", as the guys call it now, looks good after yesterday morning's efforts...

the snap dragons are doing good...

now, back inside...

sorry about the screen getting in the way...

but this is my view from the kitchen table every morning...

I watch the birds come to the feeder hanging in the island...

ok, did this last week, but didn't get it posted...

and I worked a little this morning for my friend doing some marketing research...

found some good ideas for his store...

and this was done last week, too...

got my tin heart from my bestie for some occassion...

maybe valentine's day...

and it holds the doggie's grooming supplies...

found this little birdhouse thingy at the antique mall when I was there Satruday...

2 bucks...

love the crackle paint...

don't you just love sunshine?

Jean Pierre is lost amid the plants on the table...

another sunny moment...

and a true find in the shed when we cleaned it out...

a future project...

have a few ideas floating around in my head, and so far all they have done is float...

looking for just the right inspiration...

sunshine and shadows...

there is just nothing better...

I have a few others things to do today...

but, can you hear that?

no?

that's because it's calm and quiet...

the guys are working today...

oh, the joy...

planted the spider plants...

I will show you later where the others are hanging out at...

pansies are loving the cooler weather...

mid 50s last night...

63 now...

sitting here with a hoody on!

snap dragons are one of my favorite all time flowers...

just love this...

hoping your day is as peaceful as mine...

better get back to work...

puttering this morning...

finishing up little jobs...

cooler today...

this is a before...

and an after...

trimming limbs, pulling weeds and cleaning up...

the guys worked really well early this morning...

I was in bed very late and up early...

I had to wear my hoody sweatshirt this morning...

it got down to 57!

such a big difference than the last couple of weeks...

and our high today was only 73...

God blessed us with the most perfect summer day...

even the cicadas were quiet this morning...

they are finally starting to die off...

and we moved a few things, but nothing major...

I pulled and hoed and then about noon...

I stiffened up so much, I could hardly move...

another batch of lilies started opening...

love bird cages!

bought this one from Rebecca several years ago at one of her barn sales...

love the shadows here...

we got the island area done...

and then we worked on little areas that needed a weed pulled here and there...

and then we did the most dreadful job of all...

we cleaned out the van...

a years worth of yuck was undone...

Craig and I even went to the car wash and vacuumed it out...

he had helped a friend move who dumped sand all over 2 of the seats...

but now it's clean and ready to haul us to great adventures on down the road...

DH needs to get his drivers license renewed next weekend...

so we will be headed for Paris and another Dollar Store and a smaller hometown Walmart...

maybe they will let me go in...

LOL

they also have a burger king...

if we leave early enough...

biscuits and gravy with a sausage biscuit just might happen...

well, just got a cake out of the oven...

butter brickle...

and a black berry, homemade, pie went in...

still eating on left overs from the BBQ...

it's been a great weekend...

hope your's went as well...

I notice no one has been posting much at all...

I hope that means you are all out there having fun and getting things done!
