What a great day

So Rosemary and I met up today for my initiation to Chartreuse & Co. WOW! It's a very cool place. Very much like Yesteryear Farms which used to be off Hipsley Mill Road in Damascus (but no one seems to remember that wonderful place so maybe I was dreaming it). Nawwww. But today we went antiquing thru barns, cottages, outside sheds, and other hang-outs on this wonderful old farm in Buckeystown, MD. What a find. Thanks Casii for introducing it to Rosemary so she could introduce it to me too. We both came home with goodies. We got some bracelets and some old hats. We put the hats on and had our pictures taken. We were driving around after our shopping spree and after talking to Jana while going up the stairs in the wonderful little cottage full of color on this little spree totally making her green with envy because she was just down in Virginia Beach popping out the pages and projects all by herself (yep she was having fun too just in another state far away from us but we were together by phone). Anyway while driving around looking for Casii who was out with her youth group, we had our hats on. We were laughing and giggling and having loads of fun. We couldn't seem to find Casii so Rosemary called her home. We left a message and a little while later the phone rang. You see we had spent sooooooo much time on that wonderful farm that we had missed seeing Casii and her team on the side of the road. But many drivers that we passed had quite the faces when they saw us in our new hats. I think we looked very nice and ready for our Sunday-go-to-meeting type night but others may disagree. But we didn't care and we had a great time.

Look at all the goodies just waiting for someone to take them home.

Then we went up to Frederick to another quaint little shop run by a friend of Rosemary, sorry the name escapes me, but she has the best inventory of vintage clothing, shoes, jewelry and linens that I've seen in one place in a long time.

Then off to the Candy Kitchen - dare I saw more and then to meet David for lunch/dinner at the Black Hog (is that right Rosemary) the best little BBQ joint in Frederick. WOW was that tasty too. I'm soooo full that I'm ready to pop. But it was entirely worth every bite.

Well here's some of our finds. Enjoy -- we sure did!

gotta love finding things that you had growing up; you relive memories all over again and it's just cheap fun; we had a ball just telling each other who had what and how pretty everything looked in the colors and sections that were set up to show off all the beautiful things



This is my stash, including the bracelets, hat, beaded ring, little straw change purse. and wooden file box. The pretty little plate is Sanyo china from occupied Japan. It's a beautiful blue with silver trim. Pretty little find too.

Hugs to ya all,
