Look What I Got!!!

Last week I was at the beach with 9 other girlfriends! This is the 40th year we have done this trip!!!!!!!! Yes, you read that right, 40 years! We always have a great time and already look forward to next year. While there I did a little "retail therapy"....are you surprised?? I stopped at Home Goods first and when I saw this I fell in love!  It was handmade in Turkey! I love the copper and the black handles!!!! It is beautifully made.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvNTdbPqHRyxe-AuYU8whLG58CGl2P2D6ZRpE2df7pYIVeml2MzN77gUnsuGRjep7lQsBfS6f5c7ISFCgspUFgWAVAXxIKnI2gj5-QG0ynqvhvgXa3ViPEqvDF9AxWdx2G-Pv29ErANJu0/s1600/IMG_1986.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvNTdbPqHRyxe-AuYU8whLG58CGl2P2D6ZRpE2df7pYIVeml2MzN77gUnsuGRjep7lQsBfS6f5c7ISFCgspUFgWAVAXxIKnI2gj5-QG0ynqvhvgXa3ViPEqvDF9AxWdx2G-Pv29ErANJu0/s1600/IMG_1986.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPV7CxHvl_s5CAipP6y53cMdtSfKCbAmKoOjKgO73JNdq0F-DAmQ5JtkQo-WqRfHxB_0pvDzgmtnV7fWiQliubV9clUSkVyW_tRe-k_jI-rmO3WRhfXSfYNJOkjRwOOKE_GLm7oOnP4Gio/s1600/IMG_1987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPV7CxHvl_s5CAipP6y53cMdtSfKCbAmKoOjKgO73JNdq0F-DAmQ5JtkQo-WqRfHxB_0pvDzgmtnV7fWiQliubV9clUSkVyW_tRe-k_jI-rmO3WRhfXSfYNJOkjRwOOKE_GLm7oOnP4Gio/s1600/IMG_1987.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEvHMxcHf6m7TYF8lQ1MV_JN0f-DwrzqUVkiQ_Sygvm96SB0K91MJW-oetaOEn6V_2IadHdrLm2nU-xH1UcZiYnebNGjLorYK2lAXcyjHnU6Sm_3v4rjyo8g7sFDYp0GJmD7FNo57-1de/s1600/IMG_1988.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEvHMxcHf6m7TYF8lQ1MV_JN0f-DwrzqUVkiQ_Sygvm96SB0K91MJW-oetaOEn6V_2IadHdrLm2nU-xH1UcZiYnebNGjLorYK2lAXcyjHnU6Sm_3v4rjyo8g7sFDYp0GJmD7FNo57-1de/s1600/IMG_1988.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I showed you this faux olive bucket earlier that I got from Walmart!

~~~A Day in the Country!!!!!~~~

On Friday,  Joe and I took a little day trip. We drove up to Lititz, Pa. We have been there several times but not for quite awhile. It was a GORGEOUS day: mid 80's and very low humidity, a perfect summer day. I wanted to share some of the sights we saw. Lititz is a very old town in the heart of  Lancaster county. You all know that Yvonne of Stone Gable lives in the midst of beautiful Lancaster county. The rolling farmland is beautiful and there are so many BEAUTIFUL, big old homes. Here are some pics I took today. This is Main Street. There are shops and eateries all along here.
