Blue Monday

Welcome to Blue Monday. I hope you had as beautiful a weekend as I did! Taylor and I skipped school for a little while early Friday morning for a wonderful indoor yard sale at a very large church in town. They had tons of items for sale at cheap, cheap, cheap prices! But, believe it or not, I only spent $4.50 and Taylor didn't buy anything.

Here is my favorite purchase. I found it as soon as I walked in the building and grabbed it right up before anyone else even spied it. I thought it would look wonderful in my kitchen and I didn't care if it worked or not. But, it does work! And the price? Fifty cents! I am so happy on this Blue Monday!

Blue Monday

Neil and I went on a date Saturday, and had such a nice time. We went to Guntersville, AL, where we had tickets to attend a play performed by "The Whole Backstage Community Theatre." The play we saw was "Leading Ladies," and it was soooo funny! The plays are performed in an old renovated school building. We hope to go back for other plays in the future. Guntersville is about 1 1/2 hours away for us.



We usually go to the Guntersville State Park at least once a year for camping. Neil loves to fish in the back waters of the Tennessee River there. And Lake Guntersville is beautiful. But for this one-day trip, we enjoyed visiting the shops and just viewing the water from afar. I thoroughly enjoyed the antique shop we visited. It was just beautiful and so peaceful with soothing piano music playing in the background. I think I could have stayed in there all day. The shop owner kindly gave me permission to make pictures, and I promised to mention her store on my blog. Here is her card. If you ever get to visit Guntersville, make sure you stop by this store. You won't be disappointed.



And without further talk, I give you the pictures of a few of the beautiful blues from the Southern Pines Antiques Mall.
