Some color and The Whistle Stop Country Store

Happy Wednesday friends! The week is half over...yay!! I don't have much to share today so I thought I would take some pictures of some flowers in my yard. Some color to brighten up this dreary day here in Nebraska.













I also want to show you some things that I bought at this great little prim shop that isn't that far away from me, it's in Elkhorn...yay. It's called The Whistle Stop Country Store and it's got some great stuff. I could have bought so much more.

I love these metal flowers and bowls.



Not sure what I am going to do with this little metal hanging thingy, maybe some potpourri. Loving that fabric covered box with the strawberry pinkeep on it!



Love both sets of these towels also!




Just realized that I forgot to get pictures of the hanging rope candles and of the old chicken feeder. The candles are hanging on my candle drying rack. I also got a bag of fake raspberries and blackberries, they look so real!!

So if you are ever in the area of this store, you don't want to miss stopping at it!! The owner also has a blog, she's very friendly also...click here.

Well that's all I have...hope you all are having a great week so far and hope it continues for you.

I really need to get with the program here!!!

Gosh, I just can't keep caught up with this blogging!! But yet I don't know what I do with my time....ha!!

I do have some pictures of our trip that we made to South Dakota over the 4th. We visited a lot of casino's but didn't have any luck. I love how there are slot machines right in the hotel...lol! On the 4th we went up to Mt. Rushmore but as with our luck, it was raining so all the activities that were planned for there were cancelled. So from there we went back to Deadwood. Nice town but no way could I live there....WAY to many people!! I really didn't even get very many pictures.

I love the mountains...so peaceful looking. Love how the clouds look so low!

So we got back on Monday from our trip and then had to get ready for the garage sale. Did ok on that...not terrific but ok. Made 250.00 so it was pretty good. And then this past weekend I had my grandson Landon here, Friday through today. That child just doesn't sit still!! He is always bouncing, either with a ball or without...lol! But I still love him!! So anyway, while he was here, my youngest son and his girlfriend decided to come up and visit on Saturday and my oldest son and his wife also came by. We all went out for lunch and took some pictures.











Managed to get a picture of hubby...lol. He wasn't happy!!


I also got a new do in between all these past weekends. Hubby says it just keeps getting shorter...lol. It does!! My glasses are always crooked...lol!!


In other news, I also decided to go ahead with a booth in that store. So I go downtown to the store and she doesn't have any booths available!! My luck...I tell ya!! She might have something come available around September. Should give me time to get some more things done. I have been doing a lot of cross-stitching. Got 5 of them almost done, just have to make pinkeeps out of them or frame a couple of them. Haven't been doing any shopping so nothing to show you there. No re-do's done either. Oh, and by the way....my kitchen is still NOT done!! The guy that was going to do the backsplash is moving so I don't know what will happen now. I'm thinking that is about all the news that I have....see, ya'll didn't miss much these past 3 weeks with me...lol!!

Hope everyone is keeping cool (I love the heat) and hope you all have a great week!!
