( The salt 'n pepper shakers are baby Mason Jars ! )
When it comes to leaving my house to go anywhere - 99.9 percent of the time - I am heading off to take care of some errand - groceries - paying bills - gas for my Putt-Putt - things like that. Yesterday was one of those .1 percent days for me. Very rare treat for me.
( Finally - I found one like my Grandma P. had ! )
Turkey Creek was supposed to be my destination. Never made it. I’m a woman. I changed my mind.
( I gotta weed this thing out ! But I had a drawer I need for something else - soooo ! )
My day became a day of shopping. But this was a day that was all about - fun shopping. No items on a grocery list - no puppy supplies - not even clothing or shoes - not even gas for my Putt-Putt. ( The tank was still full from the fill-up I took care of a couple weeks ago. )
( I LOVE the plain ivory Fire King ! )
I went finding more trinkets for my kitchen! I have two criteria. They go with my rustic - country - cabin theme. Or - they remind me of my Grandma Paparelli - my Mother - and/or my Aunt Judy!
( This is old - old - old. The glass has all those bubbles and waves running through it. )
I made it back home just short of 5pm - no time for supper. It had to be “ Friday Night Left-overs “ for us! Yeah - we end up with Mondays becoming Fridays in this household. By the time Hubby made it home and I began showing him all the treasures I’d found - I realized I was missing a bag.
( " Made in W. Germany " - a nutmeg grinder ! )
" Hey, Home Depot! Thank you for putting the name of your cashiers on your register receipts! And the phone number for the unit ! " ( Cuz’ I was too pissed at myself to think ! ) Sure enough - I called Matt. He carried my bag of Address numbers and Freesia bulbs up to Customer Service for me to pick up this morning!
( I finally found one! Yayyyyy! Now I can frost the top of a cake in one slather ! )
I’m late for today’s list of things to accomplish - already. I have a route with stops - just like the Budweiser truck. Okay - the Coca-Cola truck. Anyway - Hubby gets to sleep in - or - go out and start on something without me - while I go make my rounds all the way to Turkey Creek and back!
I know he’s got it in his head that I won’t be back until this evening. “ Wrong, Mr. Smarty Pants! I’ll show YOU ! “
Besides - I’ve got veggie plants sittin’ on the patio table. They’re not gonna bother puttin’ roots into that thing!
I just love to buy antique, glass and other "outdated" kitchen gadgets at the antique stores! I'm glad you had such a good day!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun shopping, I always hate going shopping, but then we almost never go for fun, cause of money being spent on everything else, instead of saving some to browse with.
ReplyDeleteI do want to try to get some money saved, to go to some antique shops, cause I want to look for a couple of the old round butter dishes. I have one, but don't use it usually, cause I don't want to break it since it was my Grandmothers, but one I find in the store I would chance getting broke. We used to roam antique shops a lot, when we traveled with our business, but stopped doing that when money got tight. It sure was fun though. :)
