A Few Birthday Goodies and Fall Displays

Thank you to all of my Prim friends who sent me warm birthday wishes on Monday!  It was very heart-warming to read all of the emails and comments left on my blog !  A big HUG to all of you!

*****Carrie/Unmatched Socks – I still need you to email me your address so I can mail the giveaway goodies to you!  Thanks!!*****

My sister and I headed to Amish country where she treated me to a “birthday breakfast” at Rebecca’s Tea Room & Bistro. YUM!!

I had just been there a week and a half ago and didn’t find very much.

I found this bowl for $14.00 and this jar for $6.00 at an antique mall on my first trip:

I also found these goodies on the first trip!

I found the jar on   clearance for $5.99  at a bulk food store and the light-up pumpkin at Country Gatherings in Berlin on the trip  with my sister.

 

I bought a lamp shade on my first trip, but it was too big for where I wanted to put it.  So I exchanged it for this one:

We bought an Elliptical machine over Labor Day weekend that was suppose to be for my birthday, but my dear sweet hubby also gave me a very generous gift certificate to Primitive Keepings where I went on Tuesday to purchase this light.

I  finally got a start at putting some fall stuff out.  I forgot that I got rid of a lot of stuff last year with the intention of making or buying new decor, so I don’t have a whole lot to show yet. (I do have a long list of things I want to make!!  lol) Again, this is just a start!!

  10. I'm so glad you had a nice day. I love the lamp your hubby "picked out" for you. Your decorations look so nice. I especially love the mum, pumpkin, and candle in your fireplace. We have ugly brass doors that must go one of these days!! Thanks for sharing all of your great finds. Have a super day.
