Old Towne Spring and Mail Call!

I've gotten some great mail recently.... but I'm behind in blogging about it... remember the Cereal Box Journals I was working on? Well, Nathalie sent me one, too! It came as a total surprise to me (because I was distracted with Art Dog's surgery... cause she said she told me)... anyway... it is soooo great and it's filled with old papers.... here are a few peeks: I love the postage stamp..the girl on the sofa! I so would not have used that... I would still be hoarding it. So guess I'll have to photocopy it and hoard it for her.

And below is the sweetest little "love nest" that Anna sent me!!!

On Tuesday BFF Virginia and I ran over to Old Towne Spring.... little village of shops about 45 minutes away. We've been speeding over there for over 25 years... and I mean literally... yes, there have been fines involved.... but we are careful now and not as easily fooled....
All time BEST shop in Old Towne Spring.... Thad's.....

Thad's is my absolute favorite...in OTS.... I have quite a few things in my home from Thad's :) one is a bird house ( I used to collect them but now I only have one.... the one I could not part with, probably because it's from thad's :) my fav part about OTS was stopping at Mo's on the way home for some yummy BBQ...... I know u are a tin roof fan... but I'm a Mo's fan (sorry)- one BBQ place I know we agree on is RUDY's mmmmmmmmmmmm - I might just have to come visit this summer for some good old fashion eats and great hospitality too! (I miss you guys)

When you said you and V. have been speeding over there, I thought you meant to type "spending" -- too funny! I love the postage stamp, too, maybe you need to share that image with the rest of us.

What treasures you received. I get what you mean about hoarding. I'm so afraid to use great pieces of paper because I'm afraid I'll never see another one like it. Looks like you and your BFF Virginia did some great shopping. BTW Happy Mother's Day.

Oh, Linda! First, fabulous mail. It must be a joy going to your box almost everyday! (Of course, I've seen pix of what you send, so I know there are some other pretty happy recipients out there!)

What a fun day! I hope you and BFF Virginia found splendid things -- I suspect that wasn't a problem!
