M A D M E N
it's back!!!!!
this sunday night a TWO HOUR season premiere!!!!
i CAN. NOT. WAIT.
i will be sitting next to mr. duerksen on the couch happy as can be.
Pam and her family are back the US for a bit and we have loved it already.
they came for dinner last weekend which was a totaly blast.
she and her daughter surprised use by making cinnomon rolls for us at our house!!
i did a little treasure hunting yesterday.
i was searching for vintage trims and ribbons for craft weekend projects but also found a few other lovelies that needed a good home.
a sweet little handstitched cloth. a grayish/green/pink bark cloth curtain panel.
a jesus plate to add to my collection.
the brightest yellow daisy bowl with lid…. i think it's dreamy.
a colorful vase covered in poppies.
a globe…duh. (it was $10. there were two others at the same antique store that were $25 and $28 score!)
vintage pillowcases
a sweet little wood box painted green with a decopaged rose.
lots of vintage lace trim.
and a milk glass bowl that i filled up with old wood spools.
sometimes when i am out looking for fun antiques…i find nothing.
but then days like this make it super fun.
after the feb. craft weekend i decided to not have any sweets or junky sugary foods until the next CW.
sugared cereals, desserts, candy, ice cream, etc
50 days.
i am at day 49.
i thought it would help with my running/training for the Half Marathon (25 days away…..AAAAAaaaa!!!!)
i broke my own rule twice.
once for cheesecake at ashley's. (and probably breakfast there too…so good)
and once for a cinnamon roll made by pam.
now i get to enjoy craft weekend guilt free! woo-hoo!
then i will go back to NO sugary stuff again.
i just made it up and work it out for me as i go… but i have noticed a difference in my running.
i feel lighter.
waffle got his spring haircut.
waffle is a goldendoodle.
we shave his hair because when it's long like the picture he gets really dirty and smelley.
also he only sheds when his hair is shaggy.
he always prances around when he gets home from the groomer.
he is a happy dog.
kimberlee and i are setting up for Craft Weekend today!
it is always such a fun time.
the swag we have from our sponsors is always great but this time it's F A B U L O U S!!!!
the girls arrive tomorrow and i can't wait to meet them all!
and now i must go hang up some bunting and the giant sunflower canvas!
(but man i wish i could take a nap! 😉
Becky - those swag pictures just make me happy! 🙂 love it!
Lorie - You find the BEST stuff! I’m also a huge Mad Men fan, but we don’t have cable, so we watch it on Netflix the year after. Lame, but still fun!
jaimie - Awesome!

jeanne - I have been counting down ALL week!!!!! I can not wait.
patty - O. Mi. Good. Mad. Men.
My husband and I just started watching Mad Men last week. We are obsessed, staying up late, watching 4-5 episodes in a night! We need to watch all of season 5 by Sunday night so we are all caught up! Ugh! The stress. This is a really great show, I dont know what took us so long ; )
Have fun at craft weekend! I love checking out the recap and would love to go, but its not in the cards any time soon ; )
jody - Whew! im not the only one – let’s start a MM groupie site! ha! I have a huge-o crush on Don. my hubby (yes, he knows of my crush!!) & I have been catching up on past seasons and are almost to season 6!! such a great show. can’t wait to watch!!
Meg, love seeing your finds on antique trips!! so fun.
Can’t wait to see photos of craft weekend!
kate@stillroomtogrow - I’m excited to see another fun craft weekend!! Waffle looks so handsome….my pup prances around after the groomers too.
Lisa - Aw, I really like the embroidered cloth, and the bright, cheery daisy bowl. I was thinking of going out to “the barn” this weekend, but I guess I’d better stay away and leave plenty of room for the craft weekend ladies! Have fun!
Jessica/littlepumpkingrace - What a fun post!!
Oh, how I wish I was going to Craft Weekend!!! I’ve been on the waiting list since the very beginning and hope to one day get the chance one of these days!!! Have fun!
Lindsey - Love your thrift store finds! I need a thrift store fix! I have been toying around with the idea of no sugar for a period of time. I think it would be good for me. Have fun at craft weekend! I would love to go back to CW~ So wonderful!~
Alicia @ La Famille - love your randomness…it’s so inspiring!! 🙂
a. MAD MEN!!! I have a serious infatuation with Don. it’s bad. i’m ashamed. i’m also nine months pregnant with an infatuation with Don Draper. gaaaa!!!! Also, I can’t stand megan. It’s not that I’m jealous. I would want to smack her if Don was a dog…she just gets under my skin!!! gaaaaa again!!!
b. I am dying for a cinnamon roll now. thanks. DYING.
c. I know the key to losing my baby weight in a few weeks will be sugar. Gotta give it up too. I like doing challenges like that with myself. Go GIRL!!!
jodie - Waffle looks dashing sporting his spring attire!!!
Gina - I will be on my couch Sunday night as happy as can be too!!, I love their clothes! Great finds at the thrift. Have a fun craft weekend. Cute little chicks post and darling photos!,
Kate - Have a wonderful time! Hugs!
Lori Danelle - My Mom has the whole sheet set that match those pillow cases. . . Might be able to convince Jeff or Joni to sneak them out of the house. Just an idea. 😉
Organic Aspirations - I love the God is Love plate, and I love the yellow container too. Thanks for sharing such happiness!
Tiffany - 1) I have never watched Mad Men… I should give it a try! 2) Cute vintage finds! 3) I admire your strength giving up sugars. I did that for lent last year. 40 days and I could hardly handle it. I gave up Facebook this year instead. I was just thinking today that I have eaten so much Easter candy today I wished it was a food group. 4) YEAH for craft weekend! Have SO much fun! I’ll be IG stalking, as always. Our group is starting to plan a reunion at the craft house!!! Hope it all works out! That would be fantastic! 🙂 MISS YOU!
Linda - looks fabulous! thank you I needed some pretty eye candy to help cheer me up!
Kristin S - That does it, I’m moving to Kansas.
(Actually, I’ll be driving through in mid-June and again the end of July. Any places we shouldn’t miss? All I ever see is I-70)
stephany @ home is what you make it - Oh, I cannot wait to be there for craft weekend!!
Karie W - CAn’t ait to see how this craft weekend goes. Love to see all the great things you create.
