A Beautiful Saturday

On Saturday, I was sitting around the house, waiting for it to start raining, like the weather predicted. After an hour or so, I realized that the forecast was probably wrong as usual, and I went outside and started digging up the weeds in the area I plan to garden. It took me like, 4 hours just to clear out a little space. Whew that's hard work!
Most of our backyard is blanketed with little wild flowers. There are thousands of violets, and these little white blooms that smell like honey. I stopped digging for a while and picked a few for a bouquet. It brightens up the kitchen in the Stangl pitcher I bought at the antique show last week in New Hope.
(Psst... do you recognize these flowers in the new header I made for our page?)

4.19.08 - New Hope Field Trip

Wow, we had a really great weekend here at Potluck Crafters. By chance on Friday I read about an antique show in New Hope, PA which is a really cute little town just over the New Jersey border into Pensylvania. Sandra and I got an early start with our mom and we headed out there to see the show. I picked up two mismatched (but adorable) small Stangl pitchers. Then we spent the rest of the day walking around New Hope, we had lunch and ice cream and did a little shopping. Then you cross over the Delaware river on a bridge into Lambertville, NJ, which is another equally charming town to stroll around. The weather was gorgeous and there were so many happy people out enjoying the day. We got home around 6 pm and Sandra left, but our mom and I went out for a round of Bingo at a near by church... top prize is $1,000! I didn't win this time (or ever... I have no luck at bingo) but it's always fun anyway.

Geese enjoy the nice weather too!

Look! My initials on a pretty painted house

Stopped for an ice cream treat (Hi mom!)

On the way home, we stopped at a craft store for yarn. Sandra is working on a new baby blanket.
