The hotel we stayed in.....
A little getaway last weekend to Atlanta for our 25th anniversary.....Taylor (our 22 year old) stayed at home, while my parents and siblings looked after Luke, our 6 year old....It was his first time away from us overnight, so i was a bit nervous, but he did great...And since my parents live outside of Atlanta that was our destination since I didn't want to go too far away from Luke....The first afternoon there we spent time in this sweet confederate cemetary...It was beautiful and peaceful...We walked the whole cemetary and I took pics of each state....I love old cemetaries and old headstones....
After walking through the confederate cemetary I spent some time in an adjoining cemetary....Such beautiful old headstones and some had fresh flowers or ones that had weathered over time...But it touched my heart that they are still remembered after sooooo many years and generations...
Oh my goodness! I can't even express how blessed I am to have this opportunity to own so many wonderful pieces of pottery....Does everyone know Lori Triplett??? She use to blog a few years back...Well, that is how our friendship began...Several years ago, I messaged her to ask if she sold anymore of her pieces if she would let me know...A short time after that she messaged me and asked if I would be interested in swapping x-stitch pieces for her pottery...And that is how it began...We did ship things back and forth, but the last two swaps some of the bigger pieces broke, so she has been planning a trip to visit since last year and then she could just bring them...Well, that happened yesterday! I finally got to meet Lori and her son, Jason....
She is such a sweetheart and soooo pretty!!
The visit was too short and later last night I got to short through some of the pottery... My table started out with a few pieces and then I added more and more as I unpacked...So, as of right now I have two sets of dishes...I have the sponge dishes and then a set of snowman dishes(which i got last year)...It has been so much fun going through them...Can I say happy dance and Christmas in March???!!!
I see a big new cabinet in my near future....Hopefully Timmy will take care of that! :)

Good early afternoon everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day...It is beautiful here and the temps for the next few days are 70*78*79*78*70....Oh, can we stand it????!! But I'm also taking care of my sweet little boy who is running a temp...The nurse called yesterday and I ran to pick him up from school...I found a little sweet face with pink flushed cheeks...So, I'm off to cuddle with him..
Be sure to click on the pic on my sidebar that leads to the Primitive Handmades Mercantile...It has been updated for the month...I have already sold the pinkeep I made from a Pineberry Lane design, but I will make a few more if you'd like to order one...Be sure to check out everyone's wonderful offerings!
I hope to be back later this afternoon with another post of my day yesterday...

I got tickled when i found Maxamillion aka "Max" laying on my primitive dolls today....I kept finding my dolls in the floor and didn't know why....Now, I know! ha!
He usually snuggles with the one in my rocking chair I showed pics of yesterday...Many times I find him laying across her while laying on his back...He's so funny and he loves my primitive dolls for snuggle buddies...
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!~~hugs, Jen
