My Texas Bestie came to visit for a few days! We had a great time, eating, shopping, watching movies and eating more, lol! We went to Golden on Saturday (where they make Coors Beer) and shopped at an outdoor Vintage Market in Parfet Park. The weather was perfect and after looking around we had lunch at Dagotto’s Panini Bistro – it was very yummy and their Limoncello Cake was incredible!! The market was fun and had some great vendors, it’s actually called “Old House Vintage Market”. I found this awesome metal art. I love it and it looks so cute with my little metal goats (from decorsteals.com). Thanks for coming to visit Robin!!! xoxo
Here’s a link to the bistro in case you’re ever in Golden:
Ok, are you ready for a new “Challenge” (remember the Coffee Bar Challenge) – Let’s do a FALL Porch!! It doesn’t HAVE to be a porch but somewhere outside, front porch, back porch, sitting area, any outdoor fall vignette will work! We’ll all have 6 weekends to prepare. Once you have your “Fall Vignette” ready, email your pic to: cottagecharms@msn.com. I’ll take entries through Sunday, October 16th! To give enough time for voting I’ll announce the winner on Monday, October 24th AND this time you’ll win a $10 gift card to Starbucks!! I thought a little incentive would be exciting – who doesn’t love a Pumpkin Latte!!?? Ready, set go!!!
Amie & I are taking a long weekend off and flying to Texas. My Texas Bestie Robin, will pick us up at the airport and we’ll stay with her. Saturday, her daughter Jena and the 3 of us will be road trippin’ to Waco to check out the “Magnolia Silos”! Woohooooo!!
This was a reminder to me of how God really is in the details of our lives. I bought this outdoor heater at Lowe’s last year during their Black Friday Sale – it was $50 off! I knew at some point I’d need another propane tank but it was winter so it was in the back of my mind. I had gone to Walmart last week to pick up a few things, then to Sam’s Club to pick up some pictures I had them print for me. I had a little bit of time (lunch time) so I strolled around seeing what spring/summer stuff they had. I came across the propane tanks for $30 put I couldn’t tell if they were full or empty (no, I didn’t think to pick it up to see how heavy they were) so I just decided to leave it for now. As I was walking away I heard a man’s voice say “hey, are you looking for a propane tank”? I turned around, prepared to say no thank you – assuming it was a salesperson and it was the husband of one of my co-workers. I laughed and went over to chat with him. I told him about the heater I bought and that I was needing a propane tank for it. He told me the tanks Sam’s were selling were empty and that he had one he could give me! I said, seriously!?! He had been asking around his work last summer to see if anyone had an empty tank he could give his mom for her bar-b-que and he ended up with 3 extra tanks!! SCORE!!! I drove back to work just laughing at the whole thing. God’s timing really is perfect and He really does care about the little details of our lives! When I came into work Monday, the empty tank was in my office!! Thanks Bill & Lisa Ross!! 😉
