Tuesday Travels

First of all, we picked the worst possible weather day to take a road trip. Retha, Bobbie Jo and I left bright (well, actually it was very cloudy) and early this morning and headed to historic Apex to check out the Rusty Bucket. It was a trip we had been planning to take for quite a while, but just haven't gotten around to doing it. Since Bobbie has to go back to school tomorrow, it had to be today, or who knows when we would have another chance.

I, personally had a terrific time meeting Pam and seeing all her treasures. A really neat store with a lot of personality and the classes she offers are fabulous. We all wish we were closer so we could participate.

I made my list of needfuls before I left home and I bought a few things that I absolutely adore. Not anything that was on my list, but still things I "needed". Almost the first thing I saw was a piece of pottery and I knew it was coming home with me. A black table was another great find. It didn't fit the spot that I had hoped for, but I'm sure it will find a place in my home. A little chalk board on a stand was something else that I just love. ( Bobbie has one and I have always wanted it, heehee.) A woven runner in burgandy and tan was the final piece that came back to K-ville to live.

Hopefully, if you are ever in the area you can check out the Rusty Bucket too! I look forward to going back one day soon. And Pam, thank you so much for your kindness and showing us around.

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

Friday Favorite Finds

Today's favorite is actually more than one item.....

The Alladin oil lamp was one of the first things that my husband bought me after we were married, over 30 years ago. It has been everywhere with me over the years, in every house and every move. And to this day, it is still one of my favorites!

The antique oak table was another one of Bill's Grandmothers' things that we inherited. It is the perfect size to hold my lamp in the front bay window. The pictures are my girls at different ages in their lives. These are some more of my favorites and I treasure them..........

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari
