My Reward(s)

After some storms came in overnight,
we still have some humid weather.
I will be staying in today.
Not because of the humidity,
but I threw my knee out last night.
Never did this before...so feel such an idiot.
Why you ask?
Because I did it getting up from using the toilet.
What an idiot I am. LOL
I walked it off last night, but this morning
making the bed...it did it again.
What gives?

There are times throughout the year

where I reward myself.

Which in English means
 I purchase things for myself.  :-)

Bob never minds.

He is the best!

Last month was one of those times. 

I have a wish list,

and the purchase of these antique blocks

checks one off my list.

I plan on using these for Christmas this year.

Wait until you see what I do.

There was also a bunny block!

WOOHOO for me.

I love BUNNIES.

I also purchased another bonnet.

This one in blue.

Then there was this coverlet piece.

It will be featured in my next CupboardScape.

I love the designs on this old beauty!

This past weekend was the antique trail

for our neck of the woods.

It starts in the town just South of us,

and ends around the Thumb of Michigan.

It is 3 day event with

200 miles for the treasure hunter.

My mom and I have done it for the last 10 years.

We were fortunate to do it once again.

I only drive two of the three days each year.

Friday ~Day 1

 We started our antique hunt promptly

at 9:00 am which the event starts each day.

We ended up at my mom's house at 4:15 pm.

The event ends daily at 5:00 pm.

Normally just driving to my mom's from

my house takes 1  1/2 hours.

I found some small Christmas goodies for myself.

Not much to resell for the store.

Chocolate cookies from the Amish.

Also bought some veggies from them.

Both mom and I met many friends along the way.

Also had 2 doe and a fawn run out in front of us.

So glad they were far enough ahead...

that neither I nor the camper going the other way

hit them.

Saturday ~ Day 2

Mom and I went to breakfast at the local diner.

Then we went to the Post Office 

to pick up her mail...then we were off.

This is where I scored big time.

An awesome cabinet for the house,

more prims for the house.

Items for the store too!

We ended our journey at Port Hope.

98 1/2 miles.

I never do the last 100 miles as it is more

farmland than sales.

Drove back to my mom's.

Grabbed our stuff and went back to my house.

Pulled into the driveway around 3:00 pm.

I am over the moon at the goodies I was

able to purchase for both home and store.

Some will also be going to the prim show

at Holly, MI.

Look forward to showing you what I purchased.

One item is very rare.

Not looking forward to removing a cabinet

from our house...

but in order to put the new one in...one must leave.

It's a good one though....

Reward Blessings To All!
