Hi Prims!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days.......
DH surprised me Monday night and wanted to know if I wanted to get out and do some purchasing for the shop!!!! Well.....yesssss!!!!! :)
So we went on a little trip(only 900 miles) from Tuesday (about noon) until late Thursday night.
I had such a blast!!
This was a learning trip for me......I've never been to any of the places that you go to get prim stuff for our kind of shop.....what fun!!
We started with a fairly nice sized show and went to another warehouse.......that was plenty
for this first-timer!
I already want to go back!!
Visited a little town that had lots of little prim shops down main street.....Oh what beautiful
displays some of these shops had!
I'm feeling very inspired!! LOL!!!
Have to admit it was a little overwhelming for me.......I was like a kid in a candy store!
I took a few pictures......but didn't get as many as I'd like to.....
It's kind of difficult when you're going 70 mph without things being a bit blurry.....
I'll see what turned out when I get them on the computer and show some in near future posts.....
Well.....I got up Friday morning and started unloading the trailer.....it was pretty funny that what we bought could have fit in the bed of the truck......but we took the enclosed trailer......just in case......I don't know what we were thinking..........it would have taken about $5,000.00 or more, I'm guessing......to have filled that trailer up........
I spent NO WHERE near that amount......I did spend quite a bit more than I usually do.....but
wanted to keep it manageable......I sure did see more that I could have bought though......
Since I've been home.....I've been thinking......well, I should have gotten that or should have picked up more of those......what is it that they say about hind-sight? LOL!
The Lord blessed our travels and it really was a positive experience. :)
Just the boost I needed.......it's been a looong summer.....
It was a great trip.....but I'm glad to be "home in the backwoods" again!
Enough of all that......I just want to say "thank-you" to each of you that are reading my blog and for the especially nice things that you've said......I am humbled and grateful by the compliments.....really....... :)
Have a blessed day!

Oh, how fun that must have been. I don't have a shop, but someday my hubby is taking me somewhere to lots of prim shops. I'm saving for that now. Enjoy the weekend & I can't wait to see pics. Pam
Did you come up to the Heritage Show? Carolyn said you might. So what did you think of the Buckeye State? hahaha!
Can't wait to see your pictures!
I knew you would love it.
Terry
Yes I did!!
I absolutely loved the show!!
Love the Buckeye state...but there
are some really WILD drivers there!!
Everyone was very nice and hospitable to us wherever we went....it was a blessed trip!
Time didn't allow me to do all that I wanted to.....next trip maybe we can get together for a little visit!
DH was on a mission to get where we had to go and wasn't thinking of much else! LOL!!
He's been very encouraging and supportive of me in all this!
I'm truly grateful!!
I'm already planning the next trip there!!! :)
I'm so glad it went well and y'all got back home without any problems.
Too bad that you didn't have time to meet Terry though. Maybe next time!
Have a great day!
If you're talking about around Cincinnati, and Columbus area, yes, there are some wild drivers!
I can't wait to see what you bought, and see if maybe some of the same vendors are still there when we did the show. Was this the cash n carry show?
Maybe next time we can meet somewhere.

I know from experience what so trips can do... LOL... my mind runs wild for days on my return that I don't really accomplish anything until it gets sorted out. I guess it is Mind Overload!
Thank you for stopping in to visit w/me.
Sales were great... I was really doing some thinking w/ the economy... but I am going to have a Bright Outlook & try not to let the customers see me sweat...
Hope all is well there... Take care... Pamela
That trip had to be so much fun, can't wait to see what you bought:)
