Great Finds at a Gift Shop

We did pretty well, Shirley and me, braving the shopping center on Saturday before Christmas. The traffic wasn't too bad until we started home about 3 hours later. Oh, heavens to betsy, you couldn't stir the cars with a stick by then. I bought 2 washcloths, a hand towel and a small gift for Shirley which I had to hide since she was with me. But, I bet she saw it just the same.

Driving home she wheels into Johnson Concrete just north of town. They've had a 'For Sale' sign out front for weeks now and I kept saying 'I gotta stop in there' and then I'd never do it. I just figured they didn't have much left in their gift shop. But, just look what I bought..........

It's a brass (well, I think it's brass) at least it's brass colored, wire sunflower feeder for my cardinals. Now, aren't they gonna be happy! A feeder just for them.

a beautiful basket weave mug decorated with strawberries and a bright red handle. To make the picture, I set it in front of a pear plate that I had displayed but it wasn't the brightest idea I ever had... sorry about that. I think the shop had more of those mugs and I am going to get all they have. Aren't they just the cutest?

And....

 

Merry Christmas

This adorable jack-o-lantern. It's so heavy, must be made of cast iron. And there is a place to put a candle inside. Now, I can't wait for next Halloween. I just love him.

If you think I won't be going back, think again. I just know there is a ton of 'stuff' calling my name!!
