**I should have said that they were wearing crocheted bucket hats**
Recently, I was at the Museum of Science and History in Jacksonville, FL. While in town, I saw two different girls wearing bucket hats. I was so surprised to see the younger generation enjoying and wearing items that have a reputation of being just for us oldsters.
Of course, I had to come home and make a couple. I'm planning to make more, as I gift almost everything I make.

It's Christmas Time At Lowe's
Comments (15)Yep - when I was at Lowes in Moore yesterday, they had begun their Christmas items also. All their shelves were stocked, but they didn't have any decorated trees yet. Their Halloween items were on an end-cap of an isle and they didn't have much left compared to 3 weeks ago when I was there. When I lived in S. OKC a few years ago, Target on SW 44th was the WORST. They put their Christmas items on the isles next to the school supplies! However, Hobby Lobby has had their Christmas items out now for more than a month, but I can understand "crafters" wanting to get working on projects....but the other stores? No way. So Jay.....what the heck did you find??? I should have joined this forum earlier. Last year I shopped on e-bay for an "aged" galvanized bucket for the garden. Paid $25 + shipping after MIL helped herself to the one we were using, We just loved that bucket because it was just the right size and it was also my FIL mother's "pickin' bucket" in her garden. My DH loved watching the grandkids carry that full of tomatoes and green beans, just like his grandma used to do. I also paid about $20 for a cone-shaped seive with wooden pestal so I wouldn't have to borrow MIL's any more. Our home is filled with antiques, all that have a personal story behind each one. DH remembered today that he has a "coffee grinder" stored somewhere over at his parents place. It's one that hangs on the wall and is hand-cranked. I asked him to high-tail it over there and get that!!!! This year, I'm watching for end of the season sales on lids & rings. A very dear friends' mother (84 yrs young) decided it was time to clean out her garage and in the process, I inherited 5 boxes of canning jars in all sizes! I'm tellin' ya...I HIT THE LOTTERY!!! Let me know if anyone sees these items on sale somewhere! I haven't seen them anywhere here yet. pk...See MoreNEW: Sept. Our Bloomin' Friends Swap: Storybooks
Comments (150)Super swap packages! I love the Big Red Barn. Annie, that is fine for you to post before the end of the month. You are always so creative with the swaps you are hostess for - can't wait to see what it will be. Many of my seeds get stored in those decorative boxes (shoe box sized) that are intended for storing photos. I add alphabetical dividers and then place my seed packets in clear baggies behind the letter that it goes under (for example marigold, morning glories, etc. all in a zip lock bag together after the divider for M. I also have a big shopping bag with others - this is where my tin storage container with my tomato seeds and seeds I am planning to plant soon, etc. go. (Of course with those that are set aside to get planted soon - it doesn't always happen!)

Comments (48)Love it Sue!!! Jgbm: I wish I had the time to learn!! Maybe someday when I'm not up to my eyeballs in kid activities and work. As for Miley, if you knew my friend who had the nerve to dress up in it, you'd find it a riot too! It wasn't quite as revealing as the real one and she wore a miniskirt with it. I didn't think anyone would have the nerve to do it. As much as I can't stand Miley, for an adult only party it was hilarious....See MoreWhat's your self-indulgence?
Comments (120)I generally don't cut my plants but at some point I should cut a branch of my Magnolia 'Frosty Pale Purple' to see how strong it is when placed inside. In the garden it is one of the most strong and cutting fragrances. It's very ethereal, almost like the 'purple primer' used for PVC pipe welding. Perhaps fitting because the flowers are purple! It would probably be too strong for some people's taste but I love it....See Moreorchidrain
