Treasures.....

I love a good treasure!

I am always on the look out for a great antique store

whereas to find many good treasures.

I have a very nice antique store right down the road from me

that I frequent, but sometimes I need to find something in a new area.

Because of the 3-day weekend, I picked up my oldest son

from college in Milledgeville on Friday.

I knew I would have to take him back Monday so with the

other kids home, I thought it would be a great time to do some

sight seeing in Milledgeville.

I keep asking my son what they have there and his answer is always the same:

"Nothing"

Bologna!! I just didn't believe it.

So after we dropped his things off at the barracks,

we headed downtown.

I found a store full of treasurers....

I was so excited and could have stayed there all day.

The kids even enjoyed themselves looking at all the cool things.

This is a picture of the outside of the stores.

But this is inside the store.  Keep in mind that

this store is 2 levels!

I am on the 2nd level and the bottom level is just as big

with just as many things.

I was in "junk store" heaven.  My husband said that I had found

the true Stuff Mart.

I could have spent so much money there.  I found lots

of things I wanted and I'm sure their are lots of things

that I didn't see.

Had I had more time and money; I could have spent the entire day there.

These are the 2 (yes only 2) things that I did get:

My youngest son picked out the butt pad.

Go GMC Bulldogs!!

I picked out the black lantern.  Don't you just love it!

We also found a quaint little ice cream shop that also sold the

most amazing looking carrot cake.  I didn't have any this

time, but you can bet I will when I go back.

My youngest son would not turn around so I could take

his picture.  This was like the 5th one I had to take and I

had to promise him $1!!

With that blue tongue, I don't think he will get it.

The oldest son just looks totally annoyed!

Here is another picture of some of the downtown.

We also went into a book store.  Book stores attract me like

a very strong magnet.  I cannot pass by a book store without going inside.

I always find a book I can't live without and today was no exception.  I found this

pillow book on clearance.  It has ideas and patterns to make 25 different styles of pillows.

Guess what I'll be doing over the next few months. 

I can't wait to get started.
