It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…

Good evening ladies!! I hope you all had a wonderful Saturday. I had a very BUSY but also a very PRODUCTIVE day. I left the house around 9:0o this morning and picked my Mom up to go shopping. And I am proud to say, actually started my Christmas shopping. Believe it or not, I actually got the majority of it finished today.

Nothing like some major power shopping the Saturday before Christmas with all of the other “crazies” to get you in the Holiday spirits! LOL!! But it really was a very enjoyable day with my Mom.

Then this evening my husband and I spent some much needed QT together. We went to Historical St Charles, MO where we had some dinner and strolled down Main Street. It was SO pretty!! COLD but pretty. But the cold just gave me an extra excuse to pop into my favorite Prim shops. LOL!!

Anyway, in the town of St. Charles, they celebrate an Old Time Christmas that is just the neatest thing. I will try to share more pictures tomorrow...but for know, there is more things to check off that list!!

Hugs!! Carrie♥

Saturday's Finds

As promised here are pics of all of my Saturday findings...

First up is the "Garage Sale Gem". And thanks to all of you, I knew not to pass this baby up. Especially, at the low price of 25 cents. That's right you all heard me 25 cents!! I even left the price tag on to prove it.

~~~PRIM BOWL~~~

I also learned from reading this post over at Primitives from Above that I should NOT touch it. Lisa bought a bowl just like this and all the kind ladies that left her comments told her NOT to Prim it up!! Is this correct? Can anybody tell me anything else about this find!?!?

Next up are all of the "Prim Goodness" I found in St. Charles, MO.

~~~TABLE RUNNER~~~

~~~2 ELECTRIC CANDLES WITH 2 LIGHT BULBS~~~

~~~2 PRIM FLAGS~~~

~~~STAR CANDLE HOLDER WITH CANDLE~~~

~~~QUILTED TABLE SQUARE~~~

~~~3 PRIM DISHTOWELS~~~

~~~SMALL POTTED RED GERANIUM~~~

I am so excited about all of my great finds. Now just to figure out what to do with all of them...any ideas!?!?!?

Cobblestone Cottage...St. Charles, MO.

***BTW, PLEASE REMEMBER MY 100TH POST GIVEAWAY -THE WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN FROM MY FOLLOWER LIST***

This past weekend, "Muscles" was out of town for his Math Team tournie....which BTW, they did WONDERFULLY at!! And early Saturday morning, "Miss Priss" had gone to help out one of her teachers with some community service. So, "Big Daddy" and myself had ran out to a city wide garage sale in a neighboring town. But we were disappointed to say the least....there wasn't as nearly as many people participating as there was last year. And not much to pick from...unless, you were looking for baby stuff....then you would of hit the motherload!! LOL!!

However, I did score something that I would of normally would have passed up but after making my way around blogland the last year or so, I have leard a little something. And I knew as I soon as I saw the 25 CENT price tag I found a gem...stay tuned for pics.

Anyway, we made our way around a few of the garage sales but then decided we would take a road trip to St. Charles, MO. We ran by the house first to let the puppies out and as we were pulling in the driveway so was "Miss Priss" so needless to say, she came with. Which was a nice change...it just seems like nowadays it is either just "Big Daddy" and myself or "Big Daddy", "Muscles" and myself. Very rarely is it "Miss Priss" and us. So, we were happy!!

We started off by having lunch here...Lewis and Clark...YUMMY!!!!

Then we made our way down Main St. and let me tell you if you have never been to St. Charles it is absolutely beautiful!! Cobbletone streets and everything...right off of the river. And there are all of these cute little shops filled to the brim with wonderful things. But of course my favorite were the shops will all of the Prim goodness. And let me tell you, we finally made our way to the gem of gems...Cobblestone Cottage.

This place was my heaven!!!!!! Now, that I think about it I think I even said that outloud as we walked in. A matter of fact, I think I even caught "Big Daddy" and "Miss Priss" laughing at me. I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!!!!! Can you say....DANGEROUS!?!?!?!? Only if I were rich!!

But I did get a few things and you will have to come back tomorrow for not only my 25 CENT garage sale find but pics of all of my PURE PRIM GOODNESS!!!!
