Mini Road Trip

I had to get out of the house today.

I spent the morning working on some thank you notes, didn't get them finished, but got about half of them done.

I really wanted to see my friend Milly Rose in Minden; she owns Second Hand Rose Antiques, as regular readers know, but she's also a good friend and she's been praying hard for me and my mama.  It made me feel better to go see her.  Milly is such a positive, upbeat person it's just impossible to feel sad around her.

I'm the administrator for her Facebook page so I needed to take some new photos of the shop and that's always fun.  Of course I always find some wonderful treasure to bring home.

I took lots of pictures but you'll have to keep an eye on her Facebook page to see them.  I did bring home these two pins (above) because I have a thing for pins.  The butterfly is a Weiss and I love it.

I also picked up this American Fostoria rolled bowl; I have a collection of this pattern which began when I inherited some pieces from my grandmother.

We had a good visit and it lifted my spirits.

I'll share one other picture with you:  this is Milly's adorable Boston Terrier, Heidi.  She's a doll!

Isn't she cute!
