I had a great day!

It was a beautiful day in the country, today!  And I got to spend it with some good friends doing what we have in common...shopping for goodies! 

Loaded up the kiddos at 8 o'clock this morning, headed out, and followed a friend who has a bit of a lead foot for about an hour, to a little town called Sohren, which is somewhere in the middle-ish of Germany.  In said Sohren-town, we went to a store called "Kaefer's".  Oh...heaven!  There were more doo-dads and gee-gaws than you could shake TWO sticks at!  More kitchen implements than I could imagine, and THEN I went into the next room.  Crystal, Crystal, Crystal, and lots of porcelain.  WOWSERS!!!!  You name it, at high-end style, and it was there.  Great prices, too!

After not knowing what to pick up, I went outside to the tent.  Where they were having a (no kidding) Crystal Festival!  LOL!  I felt like I was stealing, the prices were so low... Honestly, I really didn't buy that much, two candleholders, a tealight lamp, some ornaments and some bowls for gifts (who could be a DOLLAR per crystal bowl/candleholder?!?!?).  But OH, did I LOOK!!!!!  So many pretties, so many opportunities for my children to break...I figure it'll be some time before I get to keep many pretties out, so I didn't get deep into it....another time, another dollar...LOL!

The day was beautiful, we had lunch together, and drove to a pottery house.  Beautiful things there, too.  Came home with two big coffee mugs.  You know, the size that's nearly a SOUP BOWL?   One says "Mama" and the other "Papa", which is what hubbyman and I call each other. 

It was a long, beautiful day, and it was well-enjoyed by everyone.

Thank You, Lord, for a day well-seized!

'night all!
