We left Tennessee
Since we moved to Minnesota
And of course, we’ve hit every yard sale, estate sale & resale shop we came across and found some great deals and some awesome antique finds….like this thing…
….it’s called a corn shucker.
Last Saturday we went to a community festival out where our new home will be. It was lots of fun. There was a parade, games for kids and adults; we played bingo for a while; a classic car show, and food and craft venders.
There were awards for accomplishments in gardening, canning, quilting, sewing, woodworking and other crafty creations. There were raffles for prizes like homemade quilts, baskets of specialty items and even snowmobiles. Yea, we entered them all. There was even a children’s pedal tractor pull – that was a delight to watch. Those kids were really into it.
I think I will like it out there once we get settled. Sitting in limbo right now is very frustrating. All my stuff is in storage so I cannot get to my books or crafts. I spend my days crocheting, writing out ideas & notes for future projects and reading; when we’re not out exploring or treasure hunting.
On one of our exploring days we went to Grand Rapids where we found an awesome shop that specializes in wine making & beer brewing ingredients and equipment, and ‘everything’ that could possibly go with it. I bought a new apron, it’s black and says, ‘got wine?’ in white letters across the front. There was so much fun stuff in there I couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted. I will be returning soon to pick up gifts for a few of my favorite people. I know they would love that shop too.
Until next time, love to all………Roxie
