Weekend Finds

I realized the other day that half of the summer was nearly gone.  The strange part?  I’m kind of glad.  I know that may seem odd coming from a person that lives in a State with cold, lengthy winters but I think I’m just looking forward to a little less heat and a lot less humidity.

Every year, the city of Royal Oak (a town about 1/2 hour away from us) has an Antique and Garage Sale in one of its parking structures.  We packed the family up and arrived just in time to see a few trains go by (Kirk is a huge train enthusiast!).  The day was so hot and muggy that the passing of the train created a most needed breeze.

While shopping at the sale, I came across the two cutest ladies.  They had a booth titled, “Two Swedish Girls and a Sewing Machine”.  Many of their products were made of wool and so they gave me lots of ideas for all the felted wool I have.  I wanted to make sure I supported them and their venture and so I bought a really cute wool purse for $10.

I also came across an antique jewelry booth and could not walk away from two silver rings.

The picture just doesn’t do these rings any justice.  They are much more vibrant and beautiful in person (especially the orange stone ring).
