Fantastic Weekend!

Wow, I had a great weekend! On Friday, my friend Jason and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings, got wings and beer, and watched the Penquins hockey game. Can I tell you how long it's been since I did that? Practically forever! On Saturday, we took a road trip to Lucketts Virginia to visit that funky store I posted about on Friday, and a few other antique places. I took far too many photos but I thought I share a few here and there!Piles of cool stuff!
I bought one of these windows to hang on my deck wall!
Cool cool cool filigree!
Giant chicken. No, I didn't buy it (though my daughter wishes I did!).

After this store, we went to the farmer's market and they had the most unusual pumpkins I've ever seen! I'll show them next post! Then, you have to see what Jason bought for his house!

I think you should have bought the chicken! But probably the windows are better value for money.

I'm so glad you had a fun weekend!! You needed it. :) I love the windows; I probably would've ended up with more than one, knowing that I don't need any. :) Take care!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
