I am so happy that Queen B is home with us for the next few weeks! We have so many things planned, starting with a trip to Pickin' at the Pea, which happened to coincide with her visit. I love it when the world hands me a gift like that.
Saturday morning, we loaded up on coffee and hit the sale.
Longtime readers of this blog know that Pickin' is a collection of vendors selling vintage items, antiques, handcrafted items, jewelry, and unique pieces that could technically qualify as junk, were they not so creatively displayed. I love the sale and always look forward to attending.
The sale has a different theme every time, but there are always skeletons displayed somewhere. This season, there were more skeletons than usual, which was fun.
As usual, there were also a lot of wacky, unique displays scattered throughout the sale grounds.
And, the kettle corn vendor was front and center. Nothing beats the smell of kettle corn, I swear.
Unless it's the yeasty smell of the glazed donuts the Mennonite ladies bake for the sale, and it wouldn't be Pickin' at the Pea without them.
One of the vendors at the show was a friend of mine who has a booth in one of the antique stores in Hooterville; she was selling vintage blow molds, and you know I was her best customer that day.
Welcome to the family, gentlemen!
Lastly, I will mention that several of the displays honored the late, great Miss Dolly Parton. May she rest in peace.
It was another great sale, and a fabulously relaxing morning with my girl. I also got ten minutes with Jules, who was helping a friend with her booth, so my day was made complete. The Girls haven't had a chance to get together yet this year, and we really need to rectify that situation ASAP.
