Friday's Shopping


Friday, DH, DD & I decided to get out and do a little driving....
DH needed another Carhartt coat......so off we went to the outlet store...which is about an hour and a half drive.....
First, we stopped at one of my fave second hand shops for a little browsing around......
That's were I found the enamelware butter dish with cover.....it was $4.99....not a huge bargain.....but I really liked it...... :) I'm not sure if it's old and it didn't really matter to me, but the colors are unlike the newer ones I've seen.....
It is a much deeper blue (almost midnight) than what it shows in the picture......just lovely!
I found two or three other things there......but I will show them to you later....SORRY!!
After we left there, we stopped at a Zaxby's for lunch then on to the outlet store we went.....
DH found a Carhartt coat that he liked.....and I got one too.....
We had just bought DD one for Christmas, so she was not needing one.
Before we headed home, we stopped at a little prim shop.....yeah!
That is where I bought the two cards, the car freshener and the tart melts. (above pic #1)
Not a big day of purchasing.....but nice to get out for awhile.... :)
Oh, the tarts are "Butter Rum Crumbles" scented...... I popped one in the warmer in our living room and one in the master bathroom and the WONDERFUL aroma was all through the house in no time! They seemed to really last for a long time too......
That was the extent of our little trip.....
I was hoping to REALLY discover some fab finds, but it just wasn't my day for that.....
Well, maybe next time!
I'll just continue to watch you treasure hunters find your latest "gem"!!
Have a great evening prim pals!

I went to several antique stores yesterday, check out my blog... Well, I couldn't believe it when I saw your butter dish, at one of the shops my Sister showed me a coffee pot that was identical to the dish..I had never seen one like it, the color was so different a dark blue. I wish now I'd bought it. It was marked 20.00. Isn't it fun to just get out and take a road trip.

What a beautiful blog you have! I am so excited that I came across it tonight and had to become one of your followers. :) It is just darling and I love all of the pictures that you have. Your shopping trip looks like you got to come home with some great finds! Going to craft shops is one of my favorite things to do. I would like to extend a warm welcome to you to come by and visit my new prim blog at Farm Wife Primitives. It was just created last week and am looking forward to sharing ideas, pictures and projects with other prim lovers out there in blogland. :) It would be my honor to have you as one of my followers if you so choose.

Happy crafting and many blessings,
Stacey

It does feel good to get out and so glad that you got to stop and look at all the good prim stuff. That butter dish was a good find, brandnew it would have cost more then 4.99 so you got a great deal...love it. I bet the tarts do smell good I'll have to find a tart warmer to go in my bath now too:)
Have a great Sunday!

What a great find, I love that butter dish. You bought some neat stuff, is that a stitchery underneath everything?
Have a great day!

Hey girl! Sounds like y'all had a great day! And nothing better than going to the thrift stores and prim shops! I just wish we had some prim shops around here! Love that butter dish! Are the other items in the pic new, or some you already had? You collect those glass butter churns, right? I have a couple of those rectangle butter molds too.
Oh, before I forget, my yahoo email has changed. I thought I had your email saved and when I switched over, I can't find it now. So when you get a chance, please email me at cranberrycrossings@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Oh, is that a stitchery patten under your other goodies? It looks like a great one if it is!
Have a nice week!
