Stop on By and Take a Look!!!

A big old country Howdy to all my prim friends this evening.  Hoping you are all well.  Me,,, well just got in last evening from yet another road trip.   I know,, my Daddy always said GO was my middle name.  But this trip was a little different from some that we did recently.  Why  you might ask?  Well get comfy while I show you a shop I visited on the way to my desination and then I'll share with you about where we ended up.

On our way we did a little detour and visited Historic Bell Buckle, TN.  It is home to the annual "Moon Pie Festival" that is held there every year in June.  We have also been there for the festival once, and let me tell you folks come from everywhere for the festivities. There are many antique malls, specialty shops, cafe, ice cream parlor and home to the famous Phillips General Store and Antiques.  But my favorite shop to visit was formally The Doodlebug, now with is new name " Froggie Went A Shoppin".  Don't ya just love that name?
I had a wonderful time in there and stayed forever.  So much to look at.  And don't ask the Mister how much I spent. I think he is still in shock.  Hey, he was the driver and took me there.  TeeHee,,, when will men learn?  If ya don't want a woman to spend money,,, then don't take her to a wonderful prim shop.  Anyway Sandy was so nice and helpful.  I really enjoy visiting with her as well as shopping. Don't ya just love going in a shop where the shop keeper is nice and friendly?  Well, if you are ever in the area you just have to drop by.  She was also kind enough to let me take photos to share with all my friends on the blog.  So here you go.  Come drool with me.

Don't ya just love those sweater pillows and that furniture,, well it begged to go home with me.  But the mister wouldn't hear of it. 

I so loved this display.  Yes, there was tidbits of Spring and Easter beginning to show up in the shop.  I think with the warm weather everyone is ready to do some spring decorating.  I just couldn't help myself and purchased a few Spring decorations.  Now,,,, came home to snowmen still waiting on a few flakes of snow.  Now you see why I loved shopping at the "Froggie Went A Shoppin" . 

Okay,,, we were actually on our way to visit with my long time friend.  Dimple and I were introduced years ago by a wonderful lady whom we both loved very much. It wasn't until after this lady passed away that we became close friends.  Our kids started kindergarten together and we were always together as families several weekend during the month. Her son and Holly grew up much like brother and sister.  And then....... they moved back to TN. because of her hubby's job and to be close to their families.  That was back in junior high for our kids.  They are both close to 30 years old now. Since then we have reamained friends and tried to visit several times a year.  But,,, last year with mother's illness and just life in general we did not get to visit often.  They were here a year ago this month.  So it liked a few weeks being a year since we had seen each other.  Those of you who are fortunate to have a faraway friend know how much fun it is to visit

and catch up and do some prim shopping together.  And that is what we did.  Dimple was kind enough to let me take pictures of some of her prim goodies.  Yes, as you will see it is like visiting another prim shop.  Hope you enjoy seeing all her goodies.  Just sit back and take a look.  These were taken in the kitchen

Are you enjoying the tour?  She has a big house and I have lots more eye candy for you but will show you more on the next post.  Got to get supper on the table for the mister.  I had a fun day at home tweaking a few things and hunting a new home for some of my goodies.  Hope you have all had a good Monday.  Take care until we visit next time.
