So sorry to be so slow with this Post!
So much fun in Portland but I returned
with an awful Flu! I had such big plans
to return home add more trees to my Shop,
Decorate the House and get ready for our
House Guests.... But our lives at times take
on a direction all it's own!! So here I am ...
OMG The Shelves in these Goodwill Stores
In Portland yummy treasures galore...
are packed with treasures to be discovered
and each day the employees roll out carts
piled high with more treasures!
These couple of shelves were piled with dolls.
They had already been picked over the day we
were there but I can just imagine the treasure that
has been discovered there.
We went to a darling Cupcake Sweet Shop
and what a delight! A vintage house that has
been renovated and is now, a perfect
spot to enjoy your cup of coffee and
a sweet Cupcake
You notice the empty spot to the left of those
sweet treats, well thats the one we purchased
and shared, so yummy!
We took a drive out to the Red Barn
to do a bit of Christmas shopping.
The Inside was full of Great Vintage
and new items for sale, We were greeted
by the sales gal and offered a warm cup
of Apple Cider. Perfect way to warm our hands
I just had to get a picture of this darling
Sock Monkey Christmas Tree!
It was loaded down with Sock Monkeys
What a great Idea!
Thank You all for your patience on my
latest Giveaway for the Pretty Pink
Vintage Style Bottle Brush Tree!
The Winner #34 Jen Duncan
E-mail me your address so I can send it your way!
I sure hope you enjoyed all the pictures in this Post
I am so behind on everything having to do with
the Holidays. So I will get busy decorating the house
and I will Post an update soon.
I have cards to write, trees to sell and Gifts to wrap.
And I want to share my Vintage finds from
Portland with you all.
So stop back by soon (:
Hugs & Kisses
