Vintage Christmas...

I've found some fun vintage Christmas treasures recently 
and have added them to my Etsy shop.  
Enjoy...

 Miniature Foil Trees
2 Christmas Corsages
 Christmas Hand Towels
 Box of unused Christmas Cards
 Bottle Brush Wreaths

Seems a bit early to be thinking about Christmas -
 but it comes oh so fast!

God & Hudson Cars...

I met the cutest couple this week and had to share them with you.   
He was just shy of 90 years and she, his 2nd wife due to death, was a bit younger.
 
Eldon was raised Amish and has a God-given talent to design and create.  
His whole life he has built and sold 
(without any formal training whatsoever) equipment
 used in the poultry industry.  I was reminded...
  
Let no one despise your youth, but be an example 
to the believers in word, in conduct,in love,
 in spirit, in faith, in purity.  
I Timothy 4:12

You can read more of their story here and here, but let's just say they are 
huge collectors of Hudson cars and have donated 50 cars
that are now housed in a museum in Shipshewana Town.
(And they still have 16 of their own!)

 I met them when they were in my area for a car show.   
At almost 90 years - Eldon drove here from several states away.  
They were shopping in the antique mall when I was working.
Thank you Eldon & Esta for your 'example'!

Autumn Inspiration...

Just some Fall photos I've collected recently - 
and not from the web...
Fall plantings in a cute wagon
 My so-so mantel this year (just found those cute white shoes...)
 
 And from our 'staycation' road trips last week...
A fall ferris wheel (a better camera could have done this justice.)

Old Barns?  Oh yeah!
 And let's throw in a water wheel just for fun...
Do you have any of your own Fall photos to share? 
Send me a link!

Our Staycation...

I spent last week with My Love on a little staycation.
  Translation...we stayed at our summer cottage just 15 minutes 
away and took day trips here and there.  We saved a ton of money,
felt free to spend where we might not have normally 
 and had a ton of fun.  I'd recommend it!  
Just a few scenes from our week... 
Took in a 3D Imax show
What's not to love about flamingos?
And now for a little photo war.  My Love took pictures too.  
He with his 'high powered' camera - me with my little point and shoot.  
Check out the difference...
