Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately...but my mom and step dad have come in town for an early summer visit filled with graduations, Father's Day, parties, fudge making and more... They have not been able to visit us for about 3 years...so I am trying to soak up every minute of their 2 week stay! Tomorrow will mark the end of their first week here...so we have seven more wonderful days to spend together!
Here they are! Are they cute or what? My mom is turning 80 this August...shhh...we are surprising her with a "Girls Day Out" on Wednesday to celebrate while she is here!
My mom & I were able to stop by a couple of garage sales on Friday and she and my daughter Grace and I went to some thrift stores today! Monday is 40% off everything for Seniors at "Value Village"! We had a blast and picked up a cart full of goodies! More on those later...
I wanted to share these fabulous embroidered dish towels I was lucky to buy from a darling "Grandmother" at her garage sale. She is 89 years old and has always loved needlework! She made them all herself! Aren't they fabulous?
This one I found at another sale!
My lovely blogging friend, Lori a.k.a.
Ruby Red Slippers of
Lions, Tigers and Boys Oh My, sent these beautiful note cards to me just for answering a question on one of her posts. What a sweetie! I just love it when I go to get my Boring old mail and find a unexpected gift waiting for me. It's just wonderful! You have to go by and visit Lori...she has an extra blog going this summer to let you in on her family getaway to their Summer Cottage. Yes
Viv...they have a summer cottage at the beach...well actually Lake Huron!
She has posted some wonderful pics to share with you! Hurry on over and tell her I sent you!
I will try to share some more of my new found treasures soon...but I must get back to my mom and dad!
Bye for now...I'll be back soon! In the meantime...
Grandpa is waiting patiently for the unveiling!
Ta-Dah!
Doesn't it look great! She loved the layers!
Now you all know where I get my good looks (ha ha)!
