HaPPy MeMoRiaL Day!

Howdy Everyone! 
    Hope you are enjoying your Memorial Weekend!  I know I am!  Yesterday, I was able to make it to the Armada Fleamarket! YEAHHHHH!  
    I LOVE going to the fleamarket...you just never know what you are going to find!  My Mom has been going to this particular fleamarket since she was a little girl and I'm happy to say...that she has passed down the tradition! It's a nice fleamarket with fresh fruit, baked goods and many treasures! If you're out in Armada EARLY (and I do stress EARLY) on a Sunday Morning....this is the place to be!
      Afterwards.....you just have to stop at Papa's Restaurant for breakfast!  It's packed with a line out the door Sunday Morning, but...we don't mind waiting...it goes pretty fast, not to mention, once you get in....it gives you a chance to catch up on what you found at the fleamarket, enjoy a cup of coffee and have yourself one delicious homemade breakfast.

      If you've done all that....you can't end the day without stopping at The Lamb's Tail!  That's my friend Bonnie's Antique shop just down the road.  Bonnie has the most remarkable display of treasures at her Antique Shop!  Her shop is set in an OLd Big RuSTiC BaRn, which is just so charmingly decorated with all kind of treasures from the past! The yard leading up to the barn is just as remarkable with beautiful garden items that are for sale, along with vintage linens that hang from an old clothes line, which only adds even more charm to this already beautiful setting.....and the best part is everything is so reasonably priced!  
       Yes, The Lamb's Tail is a little hidden treasure down the road...and is definitely a MUST SEE if you are in Armada!
CLick on the picture and it will take you to the LAMB's TAIL WEBSITE...........

Thanks for looking and again...HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVE A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL WEEKEND!

Crafter's Tip on Removing Hot Glue...

Have you ever been working on a project and accidentally got hot glue where it shouldn't be?  You're first reaction is, "OH MY GOSH...I HAVE TO GET THAT OFF THERE!" and you quickly try to remove it!  That only results in removing a partial bit of it and the remaining portion is in a nice smeared glob that you have to PAINSTAKINGLY try to remove...somehow some way...bit by bit!  
STOP...I have the PERFECT solution!

Hope that's helps!  Remember don't panic and let dry completely, no matter how tempted you are to remove it immediately!
Happy Crafting!
 

TO ALL THE MOMs OUT THERE....

           Have a WONDERFUL day, today!

      Hugs,
