~Craft Show Finds & Playing in the Leaves~

Hello Prim Friends! I know I've been gone a while but it's just because I've been working and watching the girls. I've been so tired at night that I couldn't even post all I wanted was bed.LOL

Here is what I found at the craft show Sunday, I just love this nice sized candle mat, the lady that was selling these had so much more that I was torn between this one and the runners with the snowmen on them so I ended up getting this one and Michele bought the black wool runner with the snowmen:) I think it looks so nice with my battery operated, crow candle on it! I was very busy looking for prims so I found this pine cone greenery and put it on this picture just to show you.

LOL Here is a closer look at it, has little clumps of snow on it:)

I fell in love with this bowl holder and for $15.00 I bought it for my kitchen counter, I was looking for something new for the kitchen and was really surprised that I found it, usually I don't!

I had it this way at first but felt it needed a little something more and that's when I added the crow candle!

These are willow branches I also bought and I added the lights, I might keep them out for Christmas, I already had the lights from last year and I'll have to get more because I always put them on my mantel.

Now Monday I watched these two, they are both getting so big it seems, they loved playing in the leaves. They raked up piles of leaves then jumped in them and it was such a pretty day to do it :)

So sweet but keeps Grammy busy that's for sure!

Sydney will be 8 in a couple weeks...where does the time go ladies? Yes, I let them play with my baskets, they are full of leaves, I know they were ready for bed that night:)

While I was in the kitchen Sydney came in and asked me to show her how to stitch...and she did so well for the first time and loved doing it. She drew her pattern then had me show her how to stitch...Samantha at four, just didn't understand the concept of starting from underneath and going back down with the needle, so I had to explain that at four years old Sydney didn't understand either and when she was seven I'd show her again and that seemed to satisfy her for now.

Do you know how many times I had thread a needle that day? At least twenty times but it was fun knowing Sydney is old enough to remember things now and I hope she remembers me showing her how to stitch one day:)

Stush also took me to a sweet little log cabin Tuesday and the next time I go I'll be sure to take the camara with me...it was full of prims and antiques...so neat!
