Spring has Sprung... in Iowa.
<3
The Daffodil's were Basking in the Beautiful... Warm, April...
Sunshine, yesterday afternoon.
: )
Every time I see them bloom by the house... I think of Sister, Chery.
<3
Chery LOVED Daffodils, and Lilacs.
'Spring'.
Her Birthday is coming up... on April 29.
<3
Sure do Miss Her.
Daisies popped up in the same little bed, years ago.
When they bloom, I think of Peg.
<3
<3
Peg... LOVED Daisies.
; )
Miss... Peg, Too.
<3
{guess it's become a little 'Sisters' Flower Bed. <3}
Called Pal, Steph... yesterday morning, asked her if she'd like to join me.
I'd take her to The Mid West/Collector's Eye Shows,
then... to lunch at a newer Mexican Restaurant, in CR.
Steph always takes such GREAT Care... of Miss. Peanut, when I'm on the road... and refuses to take any payment.
{except Wine, and Coffee. : ) }
Steph was Totally Up... for That!!
YAY!!
We Both... 'needed' an Escape.
{Who doesn't... these days. : ( }
The Shows Were INSANE!!
So Incredibly STUNNING!!
WOW!!
I've Never seen them look better.
I wanted to cry.
The Killer.... Vintage Garden Pieces, Nearly... Knocked my Boots Off!!
Old Pal... Sean Davis, brought some STUNNING Statuary, and Urns!!
GADS!!!
: )
Steph was curious about the 'Old Sleepy Eye' pieces.
She asked me what I knew about it, I... know a little, but asked the Vendor to share his knowledge.
Boy... Did He!!
WOW!!
That's what I LOVE about these Events. The Vendor's Know Their Stuff, and are Happy to Share.
<3
Left my phone in Jethro... so didn't get many images.
Steph, and Pal, Bill... captured a few for me.
Bill... had a booth at Collector's Eye. It was Great!!
but...
The ONE, that Totally Floored me, was David Cotton's Booth.
Oh Dear Lord!!!
<3
Holy Smokes!!
<3
Steph said...
"oh... yeah, This Is So You!!".
INDEED!!
Wowza!!
The Cotton's bought out 'Magnolia Pearl's' Items, that were in storage, a few years ago.
I'd heard of 'Magnolia Pearl', but had never seen much of her creations.
I believe she did Big Business... in Texas.
Boy... It Sure Looks like 'Iowa'... to me.
; )
Reminded me Much, of Pal... Jo Brantley.
<3
I was Droolin' All Over The Floor!
Hahahahahahaha!!
Looking at her 'Creations' was so Inspiring!! Gave me some Great Ideas!!
<3
The Restaurant was very good.
: )
We shared Seafood Nachos.
We started with that, thinking we'd order more....
Not so much.
: )
However... we did indulge, over three hours, Margaritas.
: )
We... had a long, long... long conversation.
Seems, we both... these, days.... are running against the wind.
again...
I'm certain, many... can understand that, too.
<3
Yep...
I wore the old... red, Buckaroo Boots, yesterday.
<3
Love Them.
<3
They have nearly a 17 inch shaft.
Tall... Boots.
; )
Livin' in Fairfax, Iowa....figured I'd better always be wearing Boots.
; )
Tall....
Boots.
: )
I actually have two pair of these Boots.
The other, is Bittersweet... in color.
The Boots I wear every day... are Ariat Buckaroo Boots.
Their shaft is a little shorter, I don't tuck my jeans inside them.
I Have to wear Boots, since my left leg's nerve injury, a few years ago.
Figured if I Had to... they oughta be Cool... Boots.
; )
It Was So Great... Seeing So Many Friends, at The Shows, yesterday.
Oh My!!
; )
It was So Great... I Didn't Have to Pack Up...and Load!!
Yippee!!
Was Great... catching up, with Steph.
; )
Busy Afternoon, today.
: (
Better get Crackin'.
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

{After I called Steph, yesterday morning... telling her to get 'Gussied Up'...
was thinking... as I... was attempting... to also, get
'Gussied Up'...
of the tune...
'High Heel Sneakers'.
Hahahahahaha!!
So Fitting!!
Played it Over, and Over while puttin' on War Paint!!}
; )
