I am a slacker!!
I know, I know......
I have not blogged for a few months. Yes, months! My how time flies!!
I am seriously going to try to do better.
Try
being the operative word!
Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went and now we are creeping towards Valentines Day.
Yesterday was Saturday.
After a few necessary chores which included picking up another round bale of hay to keep the horses happy...... I wanted to take a little trip.
Are my lights on?? What the heck??
How is this for a hay feeder?
I just leave the bale in "Big Red" and let em have at it.
Red neck? Maybe....
White trash?
More than likely....
Anyway, since everyone else in my house had plans for the day, I decided to have my own little adventure.
Sun is out, roads are clear,
Head 'em up and move 'em out.
I first went to an Estate Sale where I hit the jackpot finding lots of
Vintage Postcards
Not exactly sure what I will do with them but aren't they awesome????
After that I started heading east to the country to this little area called Rentown which really isn't a town at all but just a shop operated by the Amish.
Northern Indiana is home to many Amish families.
I never get tired of seeing them.
When I was little I used to wish I could be Amish but then I grew up and realized I love clothes too much to ever be Amish.
And electricity....
Back to Rentown,
it's a store filled with everything from bulk spices to knives to baked goods to bird seed.
I bought some bulk gluten free flour, some bay leaves, cheese, and butter.
More country roads
Then I was off to the brick streets of Leesburg to visit an antique shop called Alley Cats.
It lived up to it's reputation.
This is what it looks like inside
and this is what I bought.
Love these thermoses!
Found the smallest blue bowl to go with my set of Pyrex nesting bowls.
(I'm still looking for the red one)
The nice ladies at Alley Cats gave me the name of another Antique shop just a few miles away in a town called Warsaw.
They had some cool stuff but nothing I was looking for. I'm looking for the red nesting bowl to complete my set of Pyrex bowls and a ironstone pitcher.
I found neither.
The guy at Indiana Antique Company actually suggested I try EBay for my red bowl!!!!
Are you kidding me??
That is just plain cheating.
I'm not above cheating... but part of the fun is in the hunt!!
Anyone can go on Ebay and get a bowl......I want to find it on the bottom of a dusty shelf
overlooked and forgotten....
waiting for me.
Then it was time to head home.
You gotta love the corn fields in Winter.
You can see for miles
literally....
I had so much fun and wondered why I didn't do this more often.
Yes, I could have cleaned my house or done a number of other projects that need doing
but I didn't
and I loved it.!!!!
