One suitcase, two suitcase, three suitcase, four............

"Over the river and through the woods (o.m.g. the pavement turned into a pot marked swamp!) treasure hunting we will go"!!....(shift into 4-Wheel drive). What a "great" day..... cabin fever dusted off and hopefully not to return for another year! Don't get me wrong.... I love to spend a cozy day or two at home after Christmas, but umpteen.... No Thanks.

 

Treasures were found on Saturday, finally. After searching high and low locally the mother load was struck!!! Eureka. Nothing like a nice "hual" of vintage goodies!!!

 

A day..... Away......

Oh how I have missed the Country. It felt so good just to get out of the city

for a day... Into the rolling hills and.....

yes, into the "fragrance" of country living. It was nice to see a pen chock

full of chicken's (love the different variety). Reminiscent of my

Granddads farm.

I Love Saddle Shoes.............

 

I'm in love with Saddle Shoes, and always have been since the 7th grade. My mother used to cringe....because anything she "had" to wear growing up, she did not want to wear again in the 70's!!!

 

 

On occasion I have ran across these little gems at thrift stores, but never my size. Either they are way too small or too big. Would I wear them out and about now???

 

 

 I don't know, however I do believe if they were comfy I would wear them around my apartment!!! (and I would be very fashionable while taking out the rubbish)

All I want for Christmas.....

All I want for Christmas this year, is some snow. Last year we only got a "smidge".... so sad. I found this cozy picture on the web last night and fell in love with it. So charming... I don't know where it was taken , but I have to say... I am just a little bit jealous! Christmas shopping in this town would be ideal.

Reading now.....

I am hoping to finish this book sometime this weekend. What a perfect day for a mystery!!! (rainy and damp, a little gray outside).  I found a new Author, Victoria Thompson and her "Murder on..... books are from a series that dubs a "Gaslight Mystery". Very good, fast reading and they all have two main characters, Detective Malloy and his side-kick Sarah whom is a Midwife. I admit that I have not had much time for reading lately, but slowly in the evening I try to fit one in here and there. After this, the next is "Murder on Lexington Avenue".

I found it.............

Just by chance, I was not even looking for a print of the map I had posted in June of this year. I found it at http://www.storiesdivinations.etsy.com/ . I can't wait until it gets here. The funny thing is,.......it was right up the road about 40 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A place I frequent all too often. Imagine that.
