Indiana Flower and Patio Show

Saturday, Mom, Carl and I went to the Flower and Patio Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. It was opening day, so it was pretty crowded. Plus, it was a rainy day, so I think that brought more people indoors. We saw the different gardens, which were beautiful as always. The theme this year for the gardens was "A Novel Idea." Each garden had a book title for the name. Some of my favorites were "The Wizard of Oz," The Bible/Garden of Eden, and "The Chronicles of Narnia." I actually bought some lily bulbs to plant at our house...seriously. Me, the person that kills flowers. Mom said that these should be easy to care for, so we shall see if I can keep them alive. I am not making any promises here, though.
Below are some of my favorite pictures from the show and the link to the rest of the pictures I took.

Beautiful centerpiece...love stargazer lilies!

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
