Simple Goods Pics and more!

What a blast of a weekend! The 3 of us left Friday morning for Ohio, destination Simple Goods Primitive Show. I have to say to me it has been the best one yet. 
I was so excited to finally meet my friend Francine ( Primitive Stars) after blogging together all these years. Met her sister in law and brother too. What a sweetheart!!!!! I so wished she lived near, we could have a blast together.

Big surprise to run into this sweet lady and her daughter.
Yup.....Angie and Princess!!! been 2 years since I've seen her.

 Friday on the way down we hit several places found in the Primitive Traveler Magazine, one being my favorite seville Antique Mall. 
Nancy wanted her picture taken ;).

My treasures I found at the show!

Tax Day ( we are all taxed to death) so new happy pics for you

At least it is a beautiful sunny morning here. Yesterday I was out all day. I used sunscreen but still got burned, seems the older I get that happens now no matter what I use. Here are a few pics outside for you.

Violas I picked up last night at Meijers.
This plant can handle the cold nights we are still getting.
I needed some pop of color.

Coral Bells for the soon to arrive hummingbirds.
Hate maintaining hummingbird feeders.

Signs of Spring

Pansies too!

Got this new stone bunny at Lowes.

This prim trough will be home to ALL sunflowers and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Got this at a yard sale late last year.
Pinterest shows these with sunflowers and love the look, just can't plant until June.

 Have a seat!
 Morning sun on the porch.
Old boxes from the barn, going to my booth.

~Have a wonderful day~

Easter 2015

We were so blessed to have beautiful warm weather ALL day. Just 50 miles north was accumulating snow. Temps made it to 64 degrees! Perfect egg hunt and play outside weather which we did most of the day. Good way to work off dinner.








 Good thing we have the acerage cause  these machines were going most of the day. Don't worry they all put the right riding gear on.
Went out in the woods and helped my daughter load up rocks for her garden this year. I want to go back today and get more for mine.


My friend Nancy made this and gave it to me for Easter.
Isn't it adorable!!

Time to start cleaning up and packing away decor.
Have a wonderful week.

Redbud behind my sisters house.....Happy Easter




A week from today my sister will be back for the summer.
Just in time to see this Redbud to pop with beautiful blossoms.
Her yard and gardens are a treat to see every year.
We both love gardening. I had the day off today and wanted to work in the yard but it's pouring rain today. Peepers are out and that is such a wonderful sound to me. Temps will fluctuate a lot the next few weeks but sure beats cold and snow.

Easter is this Sunday so won't be posting till then so Happy Easter sweet friends.

Hugs
