Hoarding at it's MOST SPECTACULARist in St. George and more...

Butterfields in St. George on St. george Blvd. south side.
opens at 1:30 p.m. I told her I would advertise.
The red SELLING OUT SIGN...just a sales tactic
SHE WILL NEVER SELL OUT!
IMPOSSIBLE and she loves
this stuff just too much!
Husband found  THIS SIGN...had no idea there was a DOWNSTAIRS!
and this is what I found down there.
Total overwhelmed, but found one item will share with you sometime.

Stairway...yes hold onto the handrail
ALL ROOMS were this way
Dont forget there is a big garage out back that I would bet hasn't been opened
in many a year!
Shhhhhhhhhhhh.... didn't tell her I took these pictures.
Where to even start?
The thing I bought was ON TOP of a pile.
No digging this year for me.
The WHOLE upstairs rooms WERE THIS WAY...display cases FULL TO THE BRIM
STACKED FLOOR TO CEILING... much nicer stuff upstairs.
She is a treat to meet almost like a whole story book could be written about her
she intrigued me that much..
Just a note on the heat...
she only has a fan blowing behind HER!
And you know St. George is as hot as you know where...
just warning you
It may be like IN AND OUT Burgers
That's why I only bought 2 things
would have stayed all day.
Pricing not cheap
some are outdated prices from years ago though
it could be a bargain now!

Also went to Urban Chic on the North side of road and more WEST...you'll like.

Went to Tarzan and Cats at Tuachan outdoor amphitheater, didn't love these
shows this year...to many apes and cat dancings for me!
Next year though: Wizard of Oz and Grease...Must see!
You can find motels/show packages.
Try the Marriotts.
The rage down there was called 25th Main cafe, which was a diner that sold
yummy cupcakes (peanut butter chocolate was MMMM), and people were flocking
in for lunch...seemed a bit oddly decorated, I had a like/not like as some of the
art work was too off the wall weird for me.
Aqua was all good.
Guess we are use to these places up North.
Wasn't tempted for lunch, if you go there let me know!

GARDEN MEMORIES & ready for BIRTH-ing

We enjoy vintage sewn  pretty linens with flowers

And we Sing "I have a garden" from old Primary books etc.

We read poems and how to's on growing a garden
beginners and pro's


Some grow the most SPECTACULAR GARDENS EVER...
like My husbands brother Ron. This is just ONE ROW of his garden
I couldn't even begin to tell you how many plants there are.
He might could tell us.
It's his love and passion... it's also in his gene pool.

Here is Mrs. Cow...she is acting like anyone pregnant would behave in the morning
when a camera is pointed her way...

so this is THE END



Happy gardening with plenty of fertilizer to go around!

                             P.S. Since we are on the subject of Birthing..
                                on this bloglist under Feeding relationships
                           the new blog post is about things my mother taught me.
                    25 to be exact...for a good belly laugh you may want to read them.

In & Out Burgers... SAVED the Marriage

It MUST BE HOW IT GOT ITS NAME... as you can see from this menu
Love It... how easy is that!
ANYONE can say I'll have a #1 #2 or a #3

That is why it must be making BIG BooKoo Bucks
cause they get you IN AND OUT
The  red and white decor is quite refreshing.
Lots of kids too, but they go
IN AND OUT
REALLY FAST TOO!

Must show you the DRIVE-UP WINDOW MENU...
easy AGAIN!  
and  AFFORDABLE
You just want to keep going back

Cheerful hard working employees

One was taking piles of the biggest REAL POTATOES
and slicing them fresh into these wonderful homemade french fries.
VERY CLEAN PLACE
even with lots of people
going IN AND OUT
ALL OF THE TIME.

But you really kept reading to see how it  SAVED OUR MARRIAGE
and since this is true I must go on...
Mr. Roses in the middle is smiling
He always does around food.

I'll make it quick...
It was our  38th Anniversary (to be fair we had a nice lunch that day) on our way to St. George.

We had a big antique shopping day the day before, I call it "working vacations"... then the drive etc.
and we wanted something light to eat
NOW GET THIS:
 The Motel was close to McDonalds.
I know what your thinking... as I WAS SAYING THIS:
I am not going to McDonalds, haven't been there for 20 years and not going on OUR anniversary.
So HE starts driving anywhere and saying "well what do you want?"
As he is going to weird places with no restaurants and I just couldn't decide...IMAGINE THAT!

CAN ANY MAN JUST GO GET THE YELLOW PAGES???

I was having some very NAUGHTY WORDS go through my mind
and HE easily could have too!
(tired and old, old and tired)

Then low and behold I SPIED a sign that said In and Out Burgers
IT
SAVED THE MARRIAGE
and we lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER that episode
and most important HE had to APOLOGIZE!
(cause he didn't hold in as many words as I did in my opinion
and he drove left when he should have turned right
and it was our Anniversary
so he must be perfect on that day, right?)

That's how you stay married 38 years
(you keep most of those words inside of you the best you can)
and when THEY DON'T...they must fork out
alot of money to you as your gathering up
new clothes, more new clothes, cupcakes, vintage decor etc!

But now I have to stay this extra large size till the clothes wear out
Darn!

THE Good THE Bad and THE ORANGE

SOMERSET LIFE...ALWAYS GOOD...NEW ISSUE

Uh Huh...You are seeing this right...ORANGE car driver
has a sense of humor?
Home Depot shopper in Provo...does that explain it?

While searching for Burger Bar in Santa Clara we discovered since the passing
of Mark Hadley it was gone...we settled for the SWEET POTATOE FRIES at Fargos.
New owner, new name...probably not going back.
Texas Road House saw us 2 nights...that's right, they are having their RIB FEST...
whatever...so good and had to go back for a New York Steak
Love Summer time!

Sharing my dinner...oh thats just naughty if your hungry right now.

The ORANGE CONES ARE EVERYWHERE...and that is no exaggeration.
From the top of Utah to the bottom
Lead me... guide me... OH Orange Cones a plenty.

Literally the hallway through this house antique shop.
And you thought our isles were tiny.
I had to suck in and walk sideways.
Now imagine...each room in this place is like THIS
NO JOKE!
My kind of place for sure
Will blog a story on this place
Got to love it!
It's a REAL TREASURE HUNT
if you can't make it to St. George anytime soon
come Treasure Hunt at Just a bed of roses
We have been restocked with
vintage treasures too!
See you soon

Birdnests, Cobwebs & vintage yard decor

Black Rocker makes a great porch chair...
whats that I see in the mirror...why it's the barber taking photos of the neighborhood
with HIS Fathers day camera


Diligently went in search of a gift for my babys 28th birthday...thought of
the birdnest plants for his new home.Proudly said we would even plant them.
However, he took off on a fishing trip. No respect!
We will have to celebrate our 38th anniversary
without him this year.
Yes, born on OUR day!

These are ours, and I adore them, they are a norway birdnest pine
or something like that.

These are something like succulent red cobwebs
they'll be just right for October 
Bought them for him also
Guess what...we kept them ALL
they must be planted.
Think he will care...probably not!
Always on plan B...and plan B always works.

Vintage trellis for sale at the shop
it's a cutie pie!
Start you a collection around your yard.
and
Have a Happy Fathers Day week-end
shop hours Saturday: 11-3-4:00
come early!
