Connor’s First Egg Hunt

Deborah of Pictures Pots and Pens is hosting Family Fotos. Please drop by and visit her and take a look at who else is participating this week.

This series of pictures was made the first time I took Connor to our church egg hunt. To be honest, Connor doesn’t seem to care much for hunting eggs. But he always seems to enjoy going and being around the other children. He is around 18 months…the same age Cooper is now.

This Saturday I want to take him again, and this time Cooper will go with us too! I hope I can get some good pictures. I’m anxious to see if Cooper is more ‘into’ egg hunting than Connor was!

Thanks for stopping by,

Gift Shop Sayings

Last week I helped give a tour to a group of teachers of Merrehope, an antebellum home in our town. I took a moment to snap pictures of these gifts that feature sayings in the gift shop.

One of my favorites…….

My motto….LOL

I like this philosophy too!

I think there is lots of truth to this one!

My husband probably wouldn’t appreciate this one!

And finally-some good advice!

Do you have a favorite saying? I would love to hear about it in your comment!

Thanks for stopping by!

2nd Time Around: Oak Secretary

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. If you love antiques, garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, etc. you are in the right place. Just create a post and link to Mr. Linky below. I look forward to visiting you.

For the past 3 weeks, I’ve shown some of my furniture that I purchased from the Green Door Antiques in Philadelphia, Ms. This secretary is one of the last pieces I bought, and one of the pieces I spent the most on. I didn’t buy it the day that I saw it, but got home and thought about it and you see that I went back to get it. Since it cost a little more that I usually paid the nice owner let me put it on lay-a-way for 6 months instead of the usual 3. But I still brought it home with me that day!

Several months after I bought it, the housekeeper that we had while I was working backed into it and broke out the bow front glass. The owners of the Green Door ordered us a new piece of glass, and installed it for us charging only for the glass! They have now closed their store-I hope I won’t have anymore broken glass!

Thanks for stopping by!
