WOOOHOOO..aka.. not lost any more!!

Howdy folks!!

After searching through what seemed like a bizzillion
boxes I FINALLY found my camera....
in my car.
It was right were I left it, if only I could remember leaving it there!!
So we have a small snippet of our booth at the Sorghum Festival..


Now lets move on to the Antique Expo...
with tons and tons of dealers!!!
Lee and I made 6 trips to the van before all was said and done.
Here is a SMALL portion of what we found...
or should I say "Found Us"...



This blue chair we bought in Hillsville..late 1700's,
but it had no seat...wish I could say that I fixed it but I
will not lie to you...
Lee did it.


I hope that everyone is doing o.k. and I want to
WELCOME the NEW
FOLLOWERS!!!
Remember we are just plain folks here...
nothing fancy will be found ...
just friendship
with a touch of rusty and dusty added in for a special touch!

Have a blessed day...my camera is in the kitchen drawer,
will SOMEONE please help ME remember that?  lol

Will give you
THIS...



Fried Oreo Cookies...
Y-U-M-M-Y

Lori turned me on to these at the Sorghum Festival...
and it was love at first bite!!!!

Of course I got the
"You have NEVER had fried oreos....where have you been"?

O.K....so I do not know where I have been...
BUT
I know where I am going....
to the NEAREST fair that has a funnel cake vendor.

Friends, if you have never had these...
(do not eat them...more for ME!)

RUN and find some, they are WONDERFUL!

Warm, soft, chewy, sweet creme and oreo...
what could be better?

Friends,
SWEET DREAMS!!
