Going on a little trip!

I am as happy as a 4 year old next to a bubble machine! (Brilliant by the way..a store in Minocqua has one outside I want one for my store) We last minute decided to take off Saturday morning for Baraboo! I love love love Baraboo! It was kind of the place I really found myself and really really loved our life there. I think someday we will likely move back to that area...I love it. Well the Summer Art Classic is on Saturday so we will go to that and also meet up with a few old friends who I cannot wait to see. I am also bringing some stuff to my friend Mary's new space in an antique store. She had a shop next to mine when my store was in Baraboo. So excited about that! After our day in Baraboo we are going to Spring Green to spend the evening with our good friends Jeff and Laura. They have a fabulous house that they are letting us crash at. We are so poor right now it is very good to have those kinds of friends. We will likely have a great dinner, drink a couple of beers on the deck and watch all the kids play until they crash. I cannot wait!

So in case you didn't figure it out...the store is not going to be open tomorrow....August 8th. I will open back up on Monday at 10ish...see you then!

Hats hats hats.

So when Molly was sick I went on a hat making spree so I decided to list one on etsy. This is my beautiful model Nadia and she is wearing one of my free form crocheted hats that would be cool without the felt pin but you get that too! It is only $18. Pretty much all of my hats are $15-$20. It's cold outside you might as well look good keeping warm.

I also have a fun creepy window display with a bunch of heads with different hats so check that out if you are in the area. I got a bunch of scary heads at an estate sale a few weeks ago and just love them. They remind me of masks that bank robbers might wear.

Nadia here in the picture has been with me for about 7 years now. I got her back in Baraboo from St Vinnies and payed a whopping $30 for her. She was one of the very few items that moved with us when we moved back to Manitowoc. She is just a head and torso no arms. Molly sometimes talks to her and I think that is really cute.

Joelle and Robs wedding fun

And passed out. We had a lot of fun at my sister in laws wedding. It was a super freaky warm day that began with a little shower. They got married in a beautiful little chapel in the Baraboo Bluffs. The reception was very small and intimate. Molly obviously had a blast and passed out at about 10:30. She was super well behaved and made me tired just looking at her. We planned on going to Devils lake the next day but I am getting old and wearing 4 inch heels made my feet unbearably sore so we just went shopping in the Dells instead. I had a wonderful night spending it at one of my very best friends Julie. Her boyfriend Chris made us a great steaks on the grill. It is always nice to get a home cooked meal when you are on vacation. Today we did go to Devils Lake and Molly had a lot of fun swimming. Who would ever have thought that we would be swimming in a lake on October 7th! We drove and ended up in Minocqua. I like it here. We are staying at a great hotel and ate at a really yummy pizza bar for dinner. We decided we are staying until Wednesday. I really really really needed this. It is nice to spend some quality time with Glenn and Molly.
