55 - Oh My!

This past Spring during my nephew's wedding reception, I told my twin sister we needed to start planning a birthday trip for our 55th birthday...next year. I wanted to go to Disney World. We had a year to plan and save for the trip.

She kindly informed me we turned 55 this November, not next. Wait!! What?!? Oh darn. I was still back in 2015. I hadn't made it to 2016 yet. So no Disney but we did go to Canton First Monday Trade Days. It's as fun if not funner (that's a word, right?). I love shopping the flea market area of Canton and so does Theresa.

We had a blast and found plenty of treasures. Theresa found the large flower pots she wanted - on sale even!!

I love transferware and this "Friendly Village" bowl had to come home with me:

Pyrex is another thing I've fallen in love with. I added these containers to my collection. I just love the green and white design!

I've been wanting an old typewriter. This one was just waiting for me to find it! I can't wait to put notes in it.

This small drop leaf table caught my eye right away. It is narrow enough for my entryway. Theresa bought it for my birthday present!

 Here it is from another angle:

 It opens up to a nice size by swinging out one of the legs on each side. Pretty cool, huh?

The first day we were in Canton, Theresa bought one of these percolators. We made coffee in it the next morning and I decided I needed one. Luckily after some searching on the second day, I found one in perfect condition! It might take awhile to brew the coffee but boy does it taste way better than the drip maker I have.

I was also on the hunt for something unique to use as a paper towel holder. I found it in the silver fondue burner base. It holds it up off the counter and looks great with my new counters!

Pretty leg detail:

Back at the farm, Bruce presented me with a large box and announced he'd gotten me something. What could it be? The metal trash can I asked for?

No! To say I squealed with delight is an understatement! I opened the box to see this:

 I saw this weathervane in Cape Cod this Summer in the garden we got to tour. How I loved it! Would it be possible to find one? Back home, I searched until I found it on the internet. It wasn't cheap but a girl can dream, can't she? On my wish list it went. And Friday, there it was! Thank you, Bruce!! I clapped and danced. :o)

Bruce put it up for me Saturday near the art studio!

 He makes me happy! Flying through the air, where I can easily see him! I'll have to name him.

Friday night, Theresa and I celebrated our Double Nickel with an extraordinary supper at Sabor A Pasion. (It was my gift to her) We even dressed alike for the occasion. (No, we don't normally). LOL.

Me and Theresa celebrating 55 birthdays!

Cheers to my wonderful twin sister, Theresa! Here's to the rest of how ever many we have. You know I'll go to Canton anytime you want. I'm so blessed by you. Love you bunches!
