new gal-pal, Robin, arrived on my door-stoop at 9 a.m. this morning .. and we headed for BEREA .. via GREENSBURG .. for some antiquin', gobblin of yummies, and girl-talk!

OH YES!!! if you were NOT with us .. we probably talked about you!!!!
well .. o.k.!! o.k.!!! .... "I" probably talked about you!!!
baskets .. and books .. two of my favorite things!
as always .. when in berea .. we visited my fav shoppe!
SOMETHING OLDE ANTIQUE MALL
437 Chestnut Street
Berea, KY 40403
859-986-6057
we ran into that cutie pie karen who is the 'momma' of the antiques mall and .. who i swear .. gets younger every day of her life!
headed for friend SUE's wonderful primitive booth .. got me some great little treasures there .. one of my favoritest little things i got today was a 'hookey-doo' (that's karen's official name for it when she was trying to describe it to sue who had called the shoppe .. not sure what it was originally intended for .. but have a neat 'tip' for you .. and this is why i got it.
do you know how to keep a candle from SMOKING when you extinguish the fire???
you simply take a little metal 'hookey-doo' and push the lit wick into the hot puddle of wax that surrounds it .. then take the curved pointy end and lift it back up out of the wax .. VOILA .. NO SMOKE!!!! try it .. you'll want a hookey-doo of your own!!!
love 'kitchen' tin-ware' too!!!
this olde 'skimmer' has a great prim look and feel to it!
and whatta' fun cookin' FORK .. look what it does ...
.
.

also got a cute little 'tin cookie' pan ...
last week ... when i travelled through OHIO with the gurlfrenz ...
when we visited LIZZIE's (be still my heart!!!)
she had a 'cookie pan' filled with chunks of olde soap and a
wonderful olde kitchen knife (big butcher kind) .. and she
used it to 'slice' pieces off the bigger bars of soap ..
i jus' wanna' 'set that up' somewheres here in the cabins!
i got the soaps .. i got the knife
NOW
i got the pan!!!
(come get a bath!!!)
crossed the street for a yummy 'sammich' at a cute 'coffee shoppe' ... and then on to the used BOOK STORE in town .. where we both loaded up on wunnerful books .. several children's books for the 'grandes' ...
and i love this BIBLE FLOWERS book:
and ... be still my heart, i found a book on the life of Janice Holt Giles .. my very most favoritest author in the whole wide world .. and did i mention she was from KENTUCKY!!!!
i read myself to sleep last night ..
gosh .. i sure wish i had that kind of history written about
my grandparents, parents, me and all my kith and kin!
