Lapis & Llamas

On this fine(hot) day I decided to spend a lovely Saturday afternoon with my sis. Our destination: St. Jacob Country. St. Jacob is one of Ontario's favorite rural destination. Home to old order Mennonites who farm the surrounding countryside. In the town of St.Jacob you get to see all kinds of artistry in many studios, galleries, shops and theatres. One of them is "The Mill & Silos". Here you can find some amazing quilt shops.  I have never try quilting, but every time I come to this town, that is what I want to do.  You can learn something new at historic and cultural exhibits. One of our favorite stores there is "Traces of Heaven"  Love, love this store.  I can not walk out of there with out buying some thing.  Especially because every where you look, you see sparkles and shiny things.  I like shiny things!  This is one of the last places we when went with my mom before she passed.  She treated us to something pretty, ...

One of my favorite things in life is spending time with my sweetheart.  Thrifting with him is at the top of my list of stuff we do together.  We do it all the time, and I love it!  We were out at a second hand shop this Monday and found some great things, some for the shop & some goodies for us.  Take a peek of some of our new treasures!
