Polaroid love

Made a few purchases Saturday doing some local yard sales.  

I think I spent seven or eight bucks total.  

This was probably my favorite buy of the day:

It was folded up in its case so I didn't know what it contained, all I know is it had "Polaroid" on it so it must be rather cool, right?

I was especially enamored with the awesome square flashbulb that was still attached.  I remember those from my childhood - pretty much any automatic camera had those on top.

And this was even more special with its "Polaroid Focused Flash!"  

I suppose because it was behind that little magnifying window it was more focused???? ;)

This sucker is a monster too!  Not like the Polaroid we used at our house for sure!

Also scored a pretty pottery bowl, some garden snippers,
and a set of white ceramic doorknobs with brass hardware.
And of course great memories with my Mom! =)

Can we say PERFECT WEATHER?

"PERFECT WEATHER"

And completely beautiful scenery to boot!
What a fantastic day to get out and drive!
Mom & I had a great day on a little shopping excursion.
I was searching for some frames at a store in Koshkonong, MO.
(yes, the town is Koshkonong....Kosh for short)
No such luck. Drat!
Mom did have some luck finding upholstery fabric for an antique chair she is getting recovered.
We made a jaunt through Thayer and stopped at an old hotel built in 1910 that is now a really cool antique store called Creative Poverty. (love that name!)
I made several awesome finds there, from a nifty galvanized something or another that I've hung for a huge magnetic inspiration board (pictures later)
to this fabulous old pot rack:
I know! It's cool, right?
I also caught Gray Kitty sitting so pretty & regal on a piece of firewood.

And of course this cutie patootie who is not the best at getting his pictures taken.
Excuse the blur, but look at those precious eyes!


I love this dog.





and he pretty much loves the heck out of me too.








November has begun.
Time has changed.
Days are short.
Nights are long.
Weather will be getting cold.
I am not a fan of what's to come,
but I'm savoring what it is offering right now!
