Beautiful Week-End

The start of my thrifting Saturday. Always eat dessert first.

Hubby is looking for old Railroad pocket watches, his favorite collectable. And they are scarce as hens teeth to find!

Love this painting of the college girls. Ms Alabama is rather cute. The old Plunder Parlor in Andalusia has reopened and it's better than ever. Full to the brim of fun collectables and vintage finds.

Pete liked this print of some lovely Jazz musicians!

Booth after booth of stuff!

We had a picnic in the park later after looking to our hearts content. And we still haven't looked at all the shops in Andalusia yet!

a cool breeze was blowing

We agreed, this has been the most beautiful day of the year.

On our way home, we passed fields full of cotton ready to be picked. My husband said it made his back hurt just to look at it. He picked cotton by hand when he was a boy, before his granddaddy bought a cotton picker!

And we saw piles of huge white pumpkins, and blue heirloom squash and all sorts of fall fruits and gourds, and I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE!

I guess we'll just have to go back next week-end!!!

Hope you had a good week-end like we did, have a blessed week.

Bye, y'all

Here's the new book I'm reading this week and I highly recommend it. Especially if you love British mysteries. It has everything in it, from the vicar in the village to the quirky characters who live there. Delightful, full of dry humor, a really good murder mystery.

Tomorrow is thrift shopping, maybe all day. As long as hubby can stand it, anyway! I'm thinking of opening a booth here in town at our favorite thrift shop. I need to part with some of my goodies. And it would be fun to set it up, and I don't even have to be there to run it, I can still work my day job! Will see.

I found this camera in the barn the other day. It belonged to one of my uncles. He was the town photographer, took all the school pictures and pics for the newspaper. If this camera could talk! I'm sure he had a much larger camera for his school portraits, I think this may be an old brownie. I ordered a new camera this week, can't wait for it to get here.

Lake Jackson in Florala is calling my name. And the town is full of antique shops. Love to go there. Maybe even buy a Florida lottery ticket while I'm there. One day my ship will come in.

This is some artwork in a shop there, all made from driftwood. They had some beautiful pieces in this shop.

Real dogs....

and toy dogs, aren't they cute!



BYE Y'ALL, HAVE A GOOD WEEK-END!

SWEET COUSINS

AND HAPPY BROTHERS!

Pictures from this years family reunion.

October is already rushing in.  Soon we will smell wood fires from chimneys and fall leaves burning in piles. I love fall weather, it just doesn't last long enough in Alabama.

Sunny Skies after the Storm

I am looking forward to cold weather, we have had too many days of three digit heat in the South. But we will miss the summer veggies and herbs and flowers. Until next year! Roses will bloom again.

A few new pics. Check out my niece's Auburn Univ. toenails!

She's a big Auburn fan!

What a stormy Wednesday!

Good morning, friends. I drove VERY slowly to work this morning, it was raining so hard! I love to read on a rainy day, and what better place than the library to spend the day! Our library is so cozy up here on the top floor, we even have a sitting area with a loveseat and chairs and lamps and fake fireplace, it looks like a cozy room in an old home. I love coming to work every day.
