Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter enjoying time with family and friends! We had a lovely time together, pottering around home, having family and friends over for Easter dinner, going for drives through the country......and speaking of going for a drive through the country.......look at the things I found when we did! We were driving along a long stretch of highway heading into the hills, when all of a sudden I spotted this darling little store out of the corner of my eye! With a squeal of brakes and a cloud of dust following us, my One True Love guided our car safely into the carpark. While everyone else in the car (Precious Princess, my mum, Paris Fifi, and One True Love) all recovered from the dramatic and sudden turn of events, I sprang forth armed with One True Love's wallet, and headed into pure bliss! This store was amazing, tiny, but gorgeous! Here are some of the things I was able to get in a very short space of time! We had a long drive still ahead of us, and they all wanted to keep moving, so I had to be quick, but I could have spent forever in there (and lots of $$$$$$ too)! I have vowed and declared to go back to this store/little haven in the middle of no where again as soon as possible............if I can ever remember where it was! lol So here's what I bought........3 cushion covers, 2 ceramic rooster coasters, a wall hanging, and a table runner which I have put in our bedroom on top of one of our dressers. Ooohhhhh how much more I did want to get, but it's hard to look when you have someone pulling you out the door and stuffing you into the car! lol

I was delighted to find your blog. I live in Pretoria, South Africa and it is known as Jacaranda City. In spring the whole city is swathed in a mauve mist. If a blossom falls on your head, it's considered good luck. I have a huge and ancient jacaranda growing in my garden too. Eleanor at thatchwick.blogspot.com
The treasures are lovely! You did some good shopping in a short time! I hope you're able to find the store again!
Take care!

Amanda, I just love a little find like that! Like it was plunked down there just for your amusement. Glad to hear that you had a good time. Susan
So good to see that somebody besides me understands how BEAUTIFUL roosters are! Lol. Those are fabulous! And I love the other things you got as well. Way to rush in, make snap decisions, and get out again.

Good Afternoon Amanda,
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful Easter and a wonderful time with your Family. I love all the treasures you found at the store while on your drive. Don't you just hate it when you are looking around and you have someone pulling at you telling you it's time to go? LOL. I know I do. I do hope you can remember where the store is and can go back to the store sometime soon. Just be sure to take the camera so you can take some pictures of the scenery to the store. I do enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery where you live. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
