Turning 40, moving, and panic to find a new home

I can't believe how long it has been between blogs lately.

I must say I'm sorry.

We sold our house with almost a months notice, so we have to find a new home quickly.

I think I'm going to need a moving convoy, not a moving truck to move all our stuff.

It's going to be a big move since we are moving from British Columbia , to Alberta.

My husband is working in Alberta so it's going to be and my son and I  doing most of the packing..  I think I am going to have to do a big sale, since the house we are looking at, is smaller than our home.

It's my 40th birthday today, not sure ow that happened, cause I'm sure just yesterday I was 25 LOL

I went shopping and exploring the area we are hoping to buy our new home today.  It was fabulous.

I met up with a lady who owns an antique, redo make do store in Longview A.B.  I found a few really cute little things today.  

A dragon fly made from and old whisk, a candle mat, and a funnel make do

I went to one of my other favorite shops and bought another candle mat and some fall magnets

I also picked up this cute little bunny

  So it was a pretty great day

Way to friendly

I wish I could download the video I took cause I had to push him away,  he kept nudging me for more pets lol

Look who came to visit

This buck decided to pay my Mom and Dad a visit today.

He was fun to pet, and visit with.

Unfortunately someone has obviously made him a pet, it's sad that he is not afraid of humans.

Pay it forward, and swap

I am such a lucky Lady.

I want to send out a big thank you to Kim Robinson, I was lucky enough to do another swap with her.  It was a Raggedy Anne swap.

She sent me the cutest Raggedy Anne, holding a little frog, and an angel.

I received a huge surprise in the mail today.

A pay it forward gift from Tammy, of A Primitive Place.

It's a gorgeous pillow antiqued to perfection, and a prairie stump doll.

Thank you sooooo much Tammy, they have been put in special places in my living room.

I went to the farmers market on Saturday and found these wonderful butter boxes.

Not an easy find around here.   I must say I am intrigued by the true story of the butter box babies and now am on the hunt for the book to read.

Well I'm off to get ready for my road trip tomorrow, I hope to get in some antiquing along the way.

Vintage Faire

Here are a few picture we took at the Faire, it was so much fun.
We wandered around for a couple of hours, trying to decide what to buy?
I seriously wanted it ALL!!
But what fun it all was.

Girls weekend of junking ;)

My mom, my sister and I, went for a girls weekend of junking.
We drove to Omak, Okanogan Washington for Vintage Faire. It was amazing poking around everyone's booths. What great displays they all had, and everyone was soooo nice.
I just wish money grew on trees and I didn't have to cross the border. Money limit to cross the Canadian,US border. I found some great little finds. I have a yellow beeskeep measuring set but over the years I have broken the 1/4 cup and the 1/2 cup ones. I was so excited to find the same one exactly in pink!!! And matching salt and pepper shakers I can't wait till next year when we can do it all over again.

Pay it Forward

I received the most beautiful gift from Theresa, from Dulaney Woods Treasures.
It was for a wonderful idea Pay it Forward. In return I have offered the same thing on my blog as well. The idea was to do something nice, for 5 people, I had decided to do it on my blog, as well as Facebook, and one other site. I guess I had better get busy, and start filling my end of the bargain lol
Theresa sent me this very wonderful prim wall hanging.
She has used one of a kind original photos, I don't even know where she would have found such wonderful photos. It even has my initials embroidered in the corner of the pouch.
When I opened the envelope from the post office I knew it was going to be special when all I could smell was sweet Annie ;)
I believe, I am one lucky lady!
Thank you ever so much Theresa
