Battle of the bulge...on going





2 new things discovered this week
for fighting the battle of the bulge.
U know THAT BULGE!

This raw protein drink is just what I needed,
sometimes we just need FAST!

It's tasty too, 84 calories with water,
90 more with coconut/ almond vanilla milk. Found at Green Earth.

I still do the green smoothies for
fruits and vegetables.

How long ago did I start a contest with my
sisters...was it before Labor day?
I have lost only 5-7 lbs.
NOT so good.

I know WHY after starting THIS program today:
it's free, easy to chart your food for the day,
makes you responsible and accountable
and on task for calories and exercise.
Since my sisters are doing this,
I MUST
Or THEY will win the 15 lb. contest.

My sisters son 14 has lost 25 lbs. doing this
in just a short time.
It makes us track calories,
you simply type the food in and it
calculates it into
calories
carbs
proteins
fats
exercise
water intake
So easy...
let me recommend it highly.
I love having to make a to do list
and checking it off,
it's kind of the same thing.

If your weight has come to a stand still
kind of like ours...
you'll know why with this program.
try it
you'll understand
and it's kind of motivating.

GrAnDchiLdreN WeeKeNd:
Out come the root beer floats and potato salad.
And Chuck a rama (their choice) is not a place
to go when losing weight.
No No No

The witch fairy always comes during the night
with sleep overs


one of two new kitties came with them,
have you ever tried to photo a cat!

Nickel arcade
they had to talk me into this one...
pay to get into one of these places
when they rip you off inside,
REALLY

Now back to work


Broken doll costume

Entertaining 5 cutest grandchildren
this week-end...
find it's challenging to do a
healthy halloween
but I will try
they do like healthy
we'll see.

halloween hats
we have these big spiders at the shop
1/2 price even,
you could add some netting
and be a black widow?
All of our vintage hats are outside
today selling for 1/2 off,
includes mens hats,
such as sailors, golfers, miners.

good thing my little granddaughter
reminded me that the
"witch fairy"
was coming last night...
oops,
I had to get up early and make treat bags
with huge black spiders attached.
Hid them on the front porch.
I was also reminded
"witch fairy" comes tonight too.


this means I will be going like this
until Sunday night...
all directions
as two new baby kittens arrived
with them,
extra fun!



and this is their mother in her
"broken doll" costume
her 3rd annual Halloween party is tonight.
This only daughter of mine and her
ready and willing good sport husband
take halloween parties to a new level.
I will blog about it...
there will be a Hearst outside the home
for some great "guest photo shoots",
a real psychic (take a Number, wait in line),
an entertainer,
major decor of strange sorts
like a big jar of real leeches swimming,
that would scare the ba-jeebers
out of you!
good food, costume party.
check back for photo's and more.
In the mean time
come shop today
we can add to your halloween weekend!

year 1872 ...Corner of State and Main Farmington

In the historic sycamores
Corner of State and Main in Farmington
dirt streets
places to park horse and buggy
year 1872
Francisco's Mexican grill occupies this building.

This photo reminded me of how I sometimes
look or feel
when we are out collecting vintage
for the shop.
UP in the attic's
DOWN in the Rabbit holes,
floors piled deep with years of
mystery stuff,
if it looks scary...
it sometimes IS SCARY!
(dirty too, really dirty)
Just the other day after one of my adventures
my husband said
"weren't you scared of being down there
with him?"
I said NO
"not until you mentioned it JUST NOW!"
It's not so healthy.

SCARY...like these spider fingernails
OR
even the Presidential debate
soon to be televised!
right?

VINTAGE CLOTHES
I am bringing in at least a dozen
vintage pieces, not washed nor pressed,
just wrinkled and waiting for you
to do something with them.
price: $10.00 each!
there will be several coats priced a little more
I mostly buy the vintage clothes
for Halloween so come get them
before Halloween comes and goes!

We have to do this before the cold
sets in when the outdoors isn't
available for putting
our vintage goods out.

Includes Halloween items such as
our big door panels with witches
spiders and skeletons,
some vintage clothing,
whatever gets placed outside.




I just may get brave and put the
back room 1/2 off the
sale prices...
OH
What the heck...
Let's just do it
we need the Christmas space!

This sale will also be
thursday.
friday.
saturday.
Monday's advantage is

Some say...
"You need a bigger space"
yes, sometimes we too feel that way

our affordable pricing,
quaint building,
Farmington location,
besides...
it gives us a challenge
of stacking our displays
creatively
which makes us happy!
