From Yard Sales to Flea Markets ... a fun day out in the sun ...

Today we hit the road early... wake up call at 5 a.m. in anticipation of a big once a year City wide yard sale we went to last year and did fairly well finding antique and vintage goods at so we were excited to head out and try our luck once again this year... Being veteran antiquers for well over 30 yrs now .. we always know it's a gamble that the same event will be equally good time after time .. sometimes it's a win win and other times it's a dud ... Sadly today was pretty much a dud ! .. we found a few small things .. but overall for the time, mileage and not to mention that ugly 3 letter word "GAS" ... it wasn't as fruitful a day as far as yard sales go ... However as the photo says "You can find me at the Flea Market" .. when all else fails find the local antique malls and flea markets

So we hit a few of our favorite haunts and although we didn't find anything extremely fabulous or cool .. we found some antique and vintage goods we loved .... some for the shops and well one or two things for ourselves .. Abbey collects old hardware store aprons and she got a super cool one today ... I Love old baskets and I found a neat tall square style one with a leather latch on the front which I love .. some antique linens, hardware, and a few other odds and ends made there way home with us .. The Best part of the day was driving by a house that had a badly broken Antique Chair and Rocker with the best back spindles and cool elements we can destruct and use .. with a big "FREE" sign on them .. well we whipped the van over to the curb and loaded those up ...I know I hear Ya so where's the pictures of all that great stuff .. I'm super bad at taking photos ..so please forgive me .. I'll try to get better with time .. So all in all it was a pretty good day .. and one spent with friends and family is always the best ... I hope you all have a great weekend ... I'm going to enjoy the sunshine and the warmth for the short time we'll see it once again ... as more rainy weather is headed our way early in the week .. Until Next Time Sweet Blessings Sara

Just Horsin' Around ..

This last week while we were out "Horsin" around .. we drove down one of our favorite farm roads. 

One of my favorite farm roads because on it we pass 2 farms that have "Clydesdales"

Oh how I have loved these horses since I was a little girl. 

I used to tell my parents when I was little I was going to have a Clydesdale when I grew up .. and well that hasn't come true .. kind of like when we were driving in the car when I was oh somewhere about 10 we passed a car I was enamored with .. I told my mom that's the car I wanted when I grew up .. it was a Rolls Royce !!! .. Yeah that hasn't happened either .. LOL ! 

Well I'm truly home here in the Ozarks surround by beautiful countrysides and farm land .. flowing streams and rivers abundant trees and green pastures and calm, quiet, days. It's the life I was meant for. 

I love all the critters be they pets, farm animals or the wild turkey, and deer .. the odd skunk and opossum ..or the little turtles that try to make their way across the farm roads .. and of course I can't leave out the birds that sing so heavenly. 

But on this day we headed out .. at the top of my list were the Clydesdales ! .. These gentle Giants with their stunning gaits and feathered legs .. their gallant strides and their sweet faces steal my heart every time I lay eyes on them. 

It's time for the Mare's to Foal .. so their were youngin's and their mama's out in their pastures .. on one side of the road .. and on the opposite side were the adults just grazing and giving the occasional whinny ! .. A horse song to behold.

Of all days I had my camera with me .. so I got a few shots of these majestic creatures .. to share with you all .. Enjoy !

Until Next Time ..
