Walk A Mile (or 6) in My Shoes . . .

We made a big loop around Newport yesterday.

On foot.

It was beautiful! 

I can't believe that after all these years,

it was our first Cliff Walk!

Come with us...peek in from the other side!

And last, but certainly not least, an 

"Awful, Awful."

Dear Suth'n friends, 

It's one of the New England treats

you just can't replace in the south!

Totally justifiable after a 6 mile walk, but

we did order the low fat versions.

Remember, when you take the Cliff Walk,

you do have to walk back to the car.

We suggest returning on Bellevue Avenue

by way of Newport Creamery!

Don't forget to vote until July 14th! I'll decide on the 15th, pack my supplies, and take them with me to Westport. And Shelley, the Bob Marley Bag is MINE doll, but it does make me think I should combine the two front runners...Jewelry is still winning by a mile, but knitting is making it a stronger contest.  I'll post the contest the first week of August!

Freedom . . . and a Give-Away !

I won this necklace on

~ The Bright Side Project ~

So I can't say, "I've never won ANYTHING!" 

ever again.

We went to the Flea Market yesterday! It was a small one. I guess because  of the Holiday Weekend. I meant to take my camera, but as usual...forgot it. I got my usual pocket full of trinkets though, and a really good deal. Patterson and I got some charms and when we asked if she could do better on the price, we ended up getting one for free. It made me think... FREE... is so nice... and especially this weekend. So, in honor of our freedom, I've decided I'm going to have a little give-away! Everybody's doing it and I've even won some really cool stuff. I'm a little late for Independence Day cuz I don't know what to give away...  

So Y'all vote!


...Visit me ~ here ~ to see my stuff...

click "love" if you want jewelry,

click "obsessed" if you want sewing,

 or "notsomuch" if you want something knitted.

I'll decide the rules when I decide on the prize.

I don't like randomly generated decisions, 

but I do like answering a question. 

I'll be thinking about this and decide next week!

Leave a comment if you have a specific request 
or some thoughts on the rules.

...I'm new at this game...
