Soulful... Treasures.

Friend, Cindy... former owner of 'Smokehouse Antique Mall,  Amana, Iowa'...

has moved to Montana.

She's closing up her Home, in Cedar Rapids... 

and having a Sale, over the weekend.

There's 'Estate' items, from her Family... along with 'Moving' items.

I... was Flyin', today.

Had so many, many.... obligations, didn't think I could attend. 

When my 'day' ended, called Pal, Dale, asked him... if he'd made it to Cindy's Sale.

He had not.

Dale was actually 'At' Cindy's old Store, in Amana.

; )

Told Dale... if he wasn't doin' anything, we should head over.

; )

Dale... was here in 20 minutes.

; )

We had such a Lovely Time, at Cindy's Sale.

: )

Cindy, and I... go Way Back.

; )

I'll Never Forget the times we shared in Nashville.

'Heart of Country'.

; )

Holy Smokes!!

; )

{I'm certain, Downtown 'Nashville' remembers us, as well.}

; )

Cindy's Sale... has some Beautiful... 'Treasures'.

: )

Dale... found many things.

I... gathered a few.

; )

Love... Love, Everything.

The late 1800's Foot Warmer, is such a Gem.

It's case... is so beautiful.

The Needlepoint top, is... simply soulful.

<3

I've never seen one, like it.

It's complete... with the handmade tin water reservoir.

You'd fill the tin reservoir with HOT water...

then, rest your feet on the Beautiful... Needlepoint.

'Treasure'.
