Another fun shopping day...

My new "Chaps" style apron....to funny!

I love my vintage kitchen goodies. The toaster is the latest to my collection.

A gal can never have enough hats & these are just a few of mine....

Former pillow case & some scrap trim & fabric is now an apron....

ok, so my sweetie & I had a pleasant day out and about....a wonderful lunch, sights seeing in some areas of Spokane that we hadn't seen till today & we hit a few vintage shops along the way.
I found the silliest apron, it is like a pair of Chaps, couldn't resist buying them. I also came upon some vintage clothing as well as a vintage 30's-40's toaster as well as a hatbox & hat stand. Oh trust me we found tons of stuff that we ended up lugging home but I don't want to bore you to tears so I am only posting a few pictures.
The hat box (floral) even had the previous owners name & address inside. I thought you might enjoy seeing just a small portion of my vintage hat collection as well some of my fun vintage kitchen gadgets.

The blue & yellow apron is or should I say was a Laura Ashley Pillow Case... has been re-purposed into an apron. I love pillow case aprons!

November 12th, 1972

Wow, has it been 36 years since my High School Sweetheart and I tied the knot.

The years have just flown by, but we are still young at heart.

It's been fun 'ageing ever so gracefully' together.

I know that the 25th year is Silver and the 50th is Gold, but I am keeping my guy around for our 75th~Platinum....I want a Platinum and Diamond ring!!!!! LOL!

Awe who am I kidding, I plan to keep him no matter what.....cuz he is my sweetheart and always will be.

Happy Anniversary Babe, "ILY"....

It's Snowing!!!!

Ok, so here it is, November 6th, we have a new President Elect, my back is out & it's snowing! Wohoo! I am beginning to think Autumn is over and well you know what that means!

Yep, Winter has arrived!

So far, the deer have broken right in half one of our Bartlett trees, pretty much scarred our Norwegian maple and left their "calling cards" (deer pooh) all over our lawn, oh and lets not forget the lovely clumps of bunny fur in the lawn from an unfortunate bunny who had an untimely demise with a falcon or eagle....

Here I sit, looking out my office window thinking, uh oh! snow has been non-stop since this morning...but on the plus side(there is one isn't there?) all 4 kitties are sleeping peacefully by the fireplace, I have to keep checking on little Cissy girl to make sure her fur doesn't ignite!

So here is a picture of the snow from eariler this morning, now it is starting to stick.

Autumn Morning

I guess this morning is truly a good indication that Summer is over, that Autumn is all around us. I have been watching the leaves slowly change from green to gold to red. Oh what a beautiful transformation of colors.

I could not resist bundling up this morning and taking this picture of the little farm across the road from us. It was built in the 1940's by second generation wheat farmers. Their daughter who is third generation lives next door to the little green farm house.

I love the Autumn months.

Award Winning Gooseberry Pie

Ok, for those of you who know me,,,,,know I love Gooseberrys....so when I saw this Gooseberry Pie I just could not resist photographing it.

It deserves a Blue Ribbon....

The top one is....well, can ya guess? lol!
