A Day With Friends

It's always a treat to spend a day with friends...and that's just what I got to do a couple weeks ago. Patricia and I headed up to Pennsylvania to spend the day with Tisha.  They took me out to lunch for my birthday.  We did a little shopping as well...stopping at a few antique shops and also Brown's Orchards and Farm Market.  The weather was amazing...and the fellowship with my dear friends was as wonderful as always!!  Plus I got some presents too!

I just had to take a picture of this "bossy" sign that we saw on the way to Pennsylvania.

One of the cute little shops we visited.

I love this pretty scene...there's something about red and green. It's my favorite two color combo!

My friends....Patricia and Tisha.

This photo (all were taken with my phone) doesn't do this scene justice. 

Tisha and Patricia were very intrigued by the Honey Bees at Brown's.

I was happy to stand back and just snap a few photos.

Patricia has started her own bee hive at her home. She's hoping for honey next year.

Isn't this a sweet little statue?!

Brown's had some beautiful window boxes on display.  This one was my favorite.

But this one....

...and this one were very pretty too!

It was a really, really nice day! 

Here's one of presents...this braided mat is from Tisha. I love the colors!
She also got me a really wonderful red, metal box, and some other little treasures!

Patricia gave me presents too...including this awesome old typewriter!
Such a fuzzy phone photo!  

Spending time with these two women is one of my very favorite things to do!!  
(I'd say that even if no presents were involved!!)

Happy Flag Day

This is my new flag...gifted to me by my boss (thanks Geoff!) for my birthday.  I'm so lucky to share my birthday with our nation's flag!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America 

and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation 

under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

  

A Change of Space ~ Part 2

Remember this post? Well...the relocation of my creative space continues. Actually it's almost done!  It's been tough to get it finished because in our infinite wisdom we decided to tackle multiple projects this Spring and Summer.

 

Thought I'd take a quick minute and share a peek at the newest display piece I have in my almost complete crafty space!

 

I LOVE this cart!  My daughter Mandy gave it to me for my birthday this year.  It is the perfect place for rolls of paper...don't you think? 

I think some yardsticks may find their way into it as well.

 

 

Thank you Mandy! It's one of my favorite treasures!!

 

Here's a glimpse of other treasures just waiting to be played with.  The "change of space" is just about completed, and the other projects are progressing nicely.  So I'm hoping that very soon I'll be back to creating again!  Have a happy week!!
